Ukraine Gamifies The Battlefield

⊲ The Guardian ⊳ Ukraine’s “Army of Drones Bonus System” lets units earn points for battlefield actions, such as destroying equipment or capturing soldiers, which can be exchanged for military equipment from an online store called Brave1. Rolled out across various military roles and extended to artillery, reconnaissance, and logistics, it promotes coordination and data collection. The initiative, which reportedly claimed 18,000 Russian casualties in one month, is praised for innovation but raises concerns about overreliance on gamified tactics as Russia adapts its drone defences.
