**From The Telegraph:**
The Ukrainian drone zeroed in on its outsized target. The Russian helicopter appeared in its camera lens just before the screen turned fuzzy grey, indicating a successful strike.
It was not luck, but the culmination of months of precise training for the drone operator to pull off something never before achieved: downing an Mi8 worth millions with a small flying machine costing a few hundred pounds and carrying an explosive charge.
The 59th Brigade of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces scored 100 points for the feat. Ukraine has gamified the war with Russia – and it’s working.
In interviews with The Telegraph, three of Ukraine’s most successful drone units said a Call of Duty-style points system was driving success and recruitment.
Known as the Army of Drones Bonus, the incentive scheme resembles the multiplayer video game series: more kills and more destroyed enemy equipment equals more points.
The 400 units taking part are ranked on a leader board. And, just as players do in Call of Duty, they can trade their points for rewards.
Wounding a Russian soldier is worth eight points. Killing one is 12, while a drone operator scores 25. Destroying a tank? Forty. A multiple-launch rocket system? Fifty.
But the biggest prize is reserved for capturing a soldier using a drone – 120.

The Telegraph really could have spent more effort for those graphics. It probably is not common knowledge what a multiple rocket launcher is, or how drone operators usually look like. But it is common knowledge that google.com shows you thousands of pictures of each of these things when you ask for it. There is no need to go with the first images coming to mind when making informative content about something you don’t know.
Not a bad idea but they should throw in some tangible rewards for the drone operators themselves like better food, more time off, etc
Preston on YouTube did an interesting interview with Ryan O’Leary https://youtu.be/SyXnIgQnnpA?si=JLwFndxEy2lS8hGj talking about how Ukraine should be creating areas of denial.. similar to the pushback that easy targets are maybe not the best solution…
Would be awesome to be able to see the leader board
