Ukrainian soldiers can deal with confirmed kills as points and can be used to buy equipment.

The image comes every day. Thousands of people.

Men and equipment have been hunting along the long, debate front of Ukraine. Everything has been taken, recorded and calculated.

The Ukrainian army has now been used to use all the advantages of much more powerful opponents.

In accordance with the first trial last year and called “DRONES: BONUS” (also called “e-Points”), the troops can get points for sculptures that are killed or destroyed by Russian soldiers.

And like the Killstreak of the Call of Duty or the TV game show of the 1970s, Points means a prize.

“The more strategically important and the larger the goal, the more the units are scored.”

“For example, if you destroy the enemy’s multi -rocket launch system, you get up to 50 points. 40 points are 20 points for the destroyed tanks and 20 points for damaged tanks.”

It is called the game of war.

Each uploaded video is now carefully analyzed in KYIV, where points are awarded according to the constantly evolving military priority.

A person behind the E-POINTS system, the Minister of Digital Innovation in Ukraine, said, “First, first, first, priority, quality data, war mathematics and limited resources are more effective.”

Mykhailo Fedorov, Minister of Digital Innovation in Ukraine, shows how the BBC’s Paul Adams work.

But after three and a half years of mane, the system has another important use after all the war is over.

“This is about motivation.” “You can see how the motivation changes by changing the point value.”

Fedorov’s office showcases a huge video screen with dozens of live feeds in Ukrainian drones.

The feed allows you to see a vivid glimpse of the Ukrainian drone war, and the commander claims that robots are now about 70%of Russian death and injuries.

Since the beginning of the full -fledged invasion of Russia, social media feeds have been filled with drone videos and are generally set as soundtracks of unmanned metal music.

Turrets of the tank that explodes the flame ball. A lonely soldier who blocks the attack drone with a rifle or stick.

It can make a terrible viewing. Each video celebrates the other’s death. The video is spreading as the drone explodes.

But beyond the cruel satisfaction, the hard press front unit now works with the knowledge that evidence of their exploitation can be rewarded.

Unit can consume difficult points for new equipment on the government website, BRAVE1.

The BBC contacted more than 12 units to find out that the front line soldiers made this plan. The response is mixed.

Volodymyr, the soldier of the 108th territory defense brigade, said, “In general, comrades and I am positive, he asked us not to use his castle.

VolodyMyr says that the E-point system is useful at a ferocious speed when the wire unit is burned through the equipment, especially through the attack drone.

“This is a way to replenish what we’ve lost.

The 22nd mechanized brigade, which is currently fighting in the northeastern part of the country, took about three months to get used to the new system.

“If we find out how we work, it has turned out to be a pretty good system.”

“Our young people are worn out and nothing motivates them anymore,” Jack said. “But this system is helpful. Drones are provided through this program and young people are rewarded. It’s a decent motive.”

But others are less convinced.

After three and a half years of invasion of Russia, the Ukrainian army is exhausted.

“The fundamental problem of motivation was not solved by this.”

“Points will not prevent people from running away from the army.”

The soldier who confirmed himself with Dymytro sent a long reaction to us. He complained that he would spend too much time to claim each other’s hit songs to get more points or to attack Russian cars with disabilities.

For Dymytro, the whole concept seemed to be morally ambiguous.

“This system is just the result of our twisted mental habits that turn everything into a profit,” Dymytro said.

But the E-Point System is typical of the way that fights the Ukrainian War. Creative and critical thinking designed to make the most of the national innovative technology and minimize the impact of numerical disadvantages.

Fedorov says that 90-95%of the combat units are currently participating and providing useful data.

“We received quality information and began to make a decision according to the decision.”

“By collecting data, we can suggest changes, but the foundation is always a military strategy.”

Mykhailo Fedorov says the government is making strategic decisions using data.

In KYIV’s anonymous office block, we met some of the analysts who performed the video, checking each hit song, and checking the award -winning point of the responsible unit.

We were asked not to disclose the location or to use real name.

Volodia said, “We have two categories.”

Encouraging Russian soldiers to surrender has turned out to be more valuable than killing one. Prisoners of prisoners can always be used in trading for future prisoners.

Volodia said, “If you killed Russia, you killed Russian.”

Volodia’s team analyzes thousands of hits every day.

“The most difficult part is artillery,” he said. He showed us the video of a drone that explores experts through trees and said in trenches with hidden guns.

“Russians are very good at hiding and selling.”

As Russian tactics develop, there is also an e-point system.

Moscow is a small exploration unit, a walking or motorcycle on a motorcycle, which means that the value of individual soldiers has increased compared to tanks or other armored vehicles.

“In the past, when the enemy killed two points, the BRAVE 1 statement said,” I get six now. “

And enemy drone operators are always worth more than drones.

The reward system is also sophisticated.

So far, the troops have been able to switch points into cash, and many have been used to buy additional equipment used with crowd sourcing.

The e-point system is now integrated directly into a product called BRAVE 1 Market, and the designer describes it as “Amazon for War.”

Soldiers can explore more than 1,600 products, use accumulated points, buy items directly from the manufacturer, review their review, and the Pentagon can pick up the tabs later.

Brave 1 Market is designed to replace it rather than replacing with traditional and cumbersome military procurement. Hope is hoped that the unit can approach the preferred items that can evacuate the wounded soldiers from the unmanned items to the components and the unmanned ground vehicle (UGV).

Murder point. Amazon for war. The ears may all hear cruel and cold sounds.

But this is a war and Ukraine decided to catch it. Fighting as effectively and efficiently as possible.
