Description

12 points to kill a Russian soldier, 40 points to blow up a Russian tank — These are some of the points rankings in a new incentive program for Ukrainian drone operators, who can now compete for points against other units and cash their points in to buy new weapons. Ukrainian officials say this program is helping maintain motivation in a war that is coming up to four years, but others have questioned the ethics of equating points to lives and incentivizing killing.
