The Russian "Center for Unmanned Systems and Technologies," which developed the platform, says it has successfully completed the pilot stage and has real demand. Manufacturers of dual-use goods will now be able to list products independently, set prices, manage inventory, and process orders.

In terms of how it operates, "Roy.Market" replicates Ukraine's Brave1 Market and DOT-Chain Defence. Through these platforms, Ukrainian military personnel can order weapons and equipment that have proven their effectiveness directly on the frontline.

The Russians are also trying to change the logistics model in order to reduce the risk of Ukrainian strikes destroying the goods. Instead of large centralized warehouses, the products are planned to be kept with sellers or placed at existing logistics facilities.
However, this scheme does not protect against long-range strikes by the Armed Forces of Ukraine if the goods are stored at known logistics facilities.
At the same time, the emergence of such a marketplace could help the Russian army find and purchase effective weapons systems more quickly. The platform will also make it possible to collect data on the use of various systems and identify the most effective solutions.
According to the Russian side, the "Center for Unmanned Systems and Technologies" unites more than 500 developers of drones, communications equipment, and ground-based robotic systems. The Ukrainian approach to procuring military technologies through specialized marketplaces has also previously begun to be adopted by the United States, France, and the Netherlands.
