UAH 266 Million Worth of Equipment Delivered Through the Army of Drones: Bonus Program

Since August 4, Ukrainian military units have received equipment worth UAH 266 million through the Army of Drones: Bonus program. The program uses the DOT-Chain Defence system developed by the State Logistics Operator, which has helped reduce delivery times to the frontline to just 10 days.

One recent shipment of FPV drones was delivered in only five days from the moment the order was placed. This is the fastest turnaround recorded so far and highlights the efficiency of the new supply model.

The updated Army of Drones: Bonus program launched in August and integrates three IT systems: Delta, DOT-Chain Defence, and Brave1 Market. In just a few weeks, the program has shown tangible results. Military units have ordered more than 22,000 FPV drones, bombers, reconnaissance UAVs, and electronic warfare (EW) equipment worth over UAH 1 billion. These orders were placed using points earned for confirmed enemy target eliminations. The first batches have already reached frontline units.

Military personnel earn points for destroying or disabling enemy targets. These points can be exchanged for drones and other equipment needed for combat missions. Orders are placed through Brave1 Market, accessed via the Delta system.

Procurement is managed by the Defence Procurement Agency using the DOT-Chain Defence platform. The system handles contracts with manufacturers and coordinates direct deliveries to military units.

This model gives combat-effective units access to additional equipment beyond the standard supply system. It rewards battlefield performance with faster access to the tools they need.
