The Defence Forces of Ukraine used unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) for 31,398 logistics and evacuation missions in October 2026, the highest monthly total since the ePoints Program began, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine said.

October’s count was more than four times January’s 7,511, and the ministry’s monthly series increased in every intervening month. The ministry said DELTA holds the UGV mission entries, which Brave1 specialists checked.

The ministry says the vehicles move ammunition, food and water into hazardous areas near the front and carry wounded people out. Troops receive ePoints for verified missions and can redeem them through Brave1 Market for aerial vehicles, electronic warfare systems or UGVs, the ministry said.

Hromadske reported that the ministry did not provide a breakdown of October’s missions by task or say how many vehicles took part.

In a February 2026 release, the ministry said logistics accounted for most UGV activity in January. It said the vehicles were taking on frontline supply work that service members had previously carried out while exposed to enemy fire, with the shift intended to reduce risks to personnel.
