Summary

  • 66,300 missions have been carried out with Ukraine’s ground robotic systems since the start of 2026, spanning logistics, evacuation and combat tasks.
  • 22,000-plus new ground robots have been contracted this year as demand rises, nearly double the total contracted in all of last year.
  • UAH 1.9 billion in orders has been placed through the Brave1 Market e-points system, with units using robots that can haul 200-300 kg and take over dangerous operations.
  • 50,000 missions had already been recorded from January to early June, underscoring the rapid acceleration in battlefield use as Kyiv pushes wider procurement.
  • A law signed in late May exempted ground robotic system purchases from VAT, supporting Ukraine’s broader drive to scale unmanned battlefield logistics and casualty evacuation.
