Frontline units ordering drones through Ukraine's specialized combat technology marketplace, Brave1 Market, now obtain their equipment in about eight days, authorities in Kyiv announced on Tuesday.

The defense ministry noted that the platform has trimmed average shipping times for ready items from two weeks to eight days.

Brave1 Market functions as an online hub modeled after major retail sites, focused on drones and related counter-drone systems. Domestic producers can upload listings, while military teams buy items straight from the site and post feedback visible to other units.

More than 4,000 products are available through the service, including first-person-view strike quadcopters, spare drone components, tactical gear, and ammunition.

Ministry statements on Tuesday highlighted that Brave1 Market processed around 5 billion hryvnias, equivalent to $111 million, worth of drone orders during June.

Officials described this total as the highest monthly figure recorded since the launch of the eBal program.

Portions of the activity may involve non-cash credits rather than direct spending, as the platform uses an ePoints system. Units earn these credits through verified strikes on Russian assets or other actions such as medical evacuations carried out with ground drones.

Earlier ministry updates in June indicated that troops had placed orders for more than 500,000 drones via accumulated ePoints.

The overall setup aims to encourage competition among suppliers by making performance data transparent.

Producers gain access to metrics showing unit adoption rates, monthly ePoints generated, and comparative effectiveness, thanks to a dashboard introduced in November that lets makers track their items against rival offerings.

Brave1 represents just one channel for drone supplies. Ukraine aims to acquire roughly 7 million attack drones throughout the year, averaging near 19,000 units daily.

The defense ministry handles a large share through bulk deliveries of small attack quadcopters. Separate civilian crowdfunding groups also supply thousands of drones to units based on operational needs or results.
