All UGV missions were recorded in the DELTA combat system and verified by Brave1 specialists.

What tasks unmanned ground vehicles perform on the front line
In the most dangerous sectors of the front line, ground drones can deliver ammunition, food, and water in place of military personnel. They also evacuate the wounded.
UGVs are a technology that helps minimize the risk to people on the front line.
For verified ground drone missions, military personnel will receive ePoints, which they can exchange for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), electronic warfare (EW) equipment and UGVs on the Brave1 Market military marketplace.
Earlier, Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense reported that amphibious UGVs had become available on Brave1 Market. A separate category has been created for them, with the first three products already listed.
