Since the start of 2026, Ukrainian drones have struck more than 800,000 confirmed Russian targets, killing or severely wounding around 167,000 Russian soldiers, according to Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.

May was the most successful month: over 181,000 targets hit and 31,530 soldiers killed or severely wounded. Drones now account for more than 90 percent of all strikes against the enemy, Fedorov said.

For confirmed hits, soldiers receive so-called eBals, which they can exchange on the Brave1 Market for drones, electronic warfare systems, and components.
