Ukrainian Defence Forces units carried out a record 31,398 logistics and evacuation missions using unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) in October 2026. This is the highest monthly figure since the launch of the ePoints system.
All UGV missions were recorded in the DELTA battlefield management system and verified by Brave1 specialists.
The number of missions carried out by ground drones increased every month since the beginning of the year:
- January – 7,511
- February – 7,960
- March – 9,072
- April – 11,028
- May – 14,059
- June – 16,663
- July – 19,935
- August – 25,136
- September – 28,491
- October – 31,398
Over the first ten months of 2026, the number of missions performed by unmanned ground vehicles increased more than fourfold.
In the most dangerous areas of the front line, ground drones can deliver ammunition, food and water instead of sending soldiers into high-risk zones. They are also used to evacuate wounded personnel.
UGVs are a technology that helps minimise risks to military personnel on the battlefield.
For verified ground drone missions, military units receive ePoints, which can be exchanged for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), electronic warfare (EW) equipment and additional UGVs through the Brave1 Market military marketplace.
