Kyiv has launched the Army of Drones Bonus system, a gamified rewards scheme where successful UAV attacks translate into points redeemable for armaments.

The program assigns a numeric score to each confirmed hit; pilots accumulate ↑ 12% more points than the previous quarter, accelerating weapon procurement cycles.

“We are turning battlefield outcomes into tangible incentives,” a senior Ministry of Defense official told Reuters.

Critics argue the model could incentivize reckless targeting, noting a ↓ 5% rise in collateral incidents since rollout.

Analysts from AP News warn that blending game logic with lethal force may erode traditional command discipline.
