cmseagle writes: A recent report from The Economist describes the evolution of Ukraine's drone war, and the adoption of mechanics that would be familiar to any Call of Duty player:
Gamification came to the drone war in August 2024, when the Army of Drones, a government-backed initiative to acquire drones for the armed forces, launched a “bonus” system ... Once a drone kill is logged, identified and confirmed, it wins a number of points depending on the military value of the item destroyed.
A drone operator who destroys a T-90M tank–Russia’s most advanced combat vehicle–with a disposable First Person View (FPV) drone gets enough points to make his unit eligible to receive 15 more (which would cost the armed forces around $10,000 in total). The system gives operators an incentive to find high-value targets and means that the units scoring kills are rewarded with prompt resupply.

He states that it is a necessary measure to "eradicate" "anti-state" and "pro-North" forces that he claims are trying to paralyze the country.
