Kill Russian Aggressors, Earn Points!
Welcome to War 2.0, where the Ukrainian army not only fights for freedom but also scores points like in a video game! Yes, you read that right. Ukraine has launched a system called the “drone army bonus” or simply “points” — where every destroyed Russian tank, howitzer, or soldier earns points.
How does it work?
Each destroyed target has a value. For example, a missile system is worth 50 points, a tank 40, and a damaged tank 20. Captured Russian soldiers bring ten times more points than killed ones! For one killed Russian soldier, you get one point, and for a captured one, ten.
This system is not just for data collection but also to boost morale. Ukrainian commanders claim drones cause 70% of all Russian casualties today, and videos of destruction are often accompanied by metal music and explosions on social media.
But it’s not all rosy…
Some soldiers praise the system as it helps replenish lost equipment and motivates fighters. Others, like a soldier nicknamed Snake, say points won’t stop desertion because motivation is a deeper issue. Dmitro, one soldier, claims the system encourages manipulation — soldiers try to take credit for others’ hits or deliberately target already disabled vehicles to earn points.
Brave 1 Market — an online store for war points
Points are no longer converted to cash but used on the Brave 1 Market platform, where soldiers can buy drones, parts, rescue robots, and other equipment. Orders go directly to manufacturers, and the Ministry of Defense pays afterward.
This system speeds up and simplifies military procurement, which is crucial in a war where every second and every piece of equipment counts.
War as a game?
Yes, war is terrible and bloody, but Ukrainians have turned it into a point system reminiscent of a video game. Is it innovation or perversion? While some praise the efficiency and motivation, others warn of the dangerous consequences of such a mentality where even one’s own death becomes a point.
Conclusion
Ukraine fights fast, smart, and efficiently, using technology and innovation to survive and win. But is a point system for killing people something we want to see in the real world?
If you have thoughts on this madness, drop a comment — maybe it’s time to see war as more than a game, or maybe not?
