Overview

  • Russia’s Berloga platform channels high-school and university students into military drone R&D through government-funded gaming challenges.
  • Top Berloga competitors earn extra exam credits, internships with defense firms, university scholarships and placement in military development programs.
  • Ukraine’s Ejército de drones: Bonus awards units points for confirmed enemy kills and destroyed equipment based on live drone footage analysis.
  • Points are integrated into the Brave 1 Market, where soldiers can trade credits for more than 1,600 drones, components and frontline supplies.
  • Digital Transformation Minister Mykhailo Fedorov reports 90–95% of Ukrainian combat units participate, boosting data-driven operations and morale but drawing mixed ethical reactions.
