Defense Ministry codifies Dovbush T40 drone capable of covering over 2,000 km
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reports the codification of the Dovbush T40 unmanned aerial system, featuring a wingspan of nearly 5 meters and a flight range exceeding 2,000 kilometers, allowing it to be used for strikes against Russian Siberia.
Ukraine's Defense Ministry has officially recognized the Dovbush T40 unmanned aerial system, a long-range drone with a 5-meter wingspan. This high-tech aircraft boasts a flight range surpassing 2,000 kilometers, enabling it to strike deep into Russian Siberia. The Dovbush T40 is a versatile platform, designed for reconnaissance, target adjustment, and precision strikes against enemy assets and personnel at considerable distances from the front lines. It can stay aloft for more than a day at a time.
The Ukrainian military website notes the Dovbush T40's distinct advantages over similar drones, including its ability to evade radar detection and powerful engine with an electronic injection system. Furthermore, it supports multiple strike options, functioning as a kamikaze drone or dropping munitions. The drone's robust design also enhances its resistance to electronic warfare.
The Dovbush T40 was produced at a Ukrainian facility with a history of manufacturing such aircraft. The same factory has been operating the Dovbush T20 and Kotyhoroshko drones in combat since 2022, showcasing exceptional efficiency. Since the start of 2026, the Ministry of Defense has officially sanctioned 413 drones for deployment in Ukraine's armed forces, with virtually all being domestically made.
