In October 2026, units of the Defence Forces of Ukraine carried out a record 31,398 logistics and evacuation missions using unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). This is the highest monthly figure since the ePoints Program was launched.
All UGV missions have been recorded in the DELTA combat system and verified by Brave1 specialists.

What tasks unmanned ground vehicles perform at the front
In the most dangerous areas of the front, ground drones can take the place of service members, delivering ammunition, food, and water. They also evacuate the wounded.
UGVs are a technology that helps minimize risks to people at the front.
For verified ground drone missions, troops will receive ePoints, which they can redeem for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), electronic warfare (EW) systems, and UGVs on the Brave1 Market military marketplace.
The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine previously reported that amphibious UGVs had become available on Brave1 Market. A separate category was created for them, where the first three products are already listed.
