Ukraine's Score-Based System for Drone Warfare

Ukraine's Score-Based System for Drone Warfare

Ukraine's military is using a new system called Brave1, like an online shop, to help buy drones and other weapons.

Soldiers earn points for destroying enemy targets, with the most points given for killing infantry.

Drone pilots upload videos of their attacks to earn points, which are then used to purchase new equipment.

This system is designed to make the military more efficient and encourage competition between different units.

However, some soldiers acknowledge the moral complexities of gamifying killing, while others focus on the war effort.
