Reaching Siberia: Drone “Dovbush T40” Cleared for Service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The Ministry of Defense has approved the domestically produced unmanned aerial complex, Dovbush T40, for service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This multifunctional strategic-level drone is designed for deep reconnaissance, fire correction, and delivering precision strikes on enemy structures, equipment, and personnel from a significant distance from the front lines.

With a wingspan of nearly 5 meters, the Dovbush T40 can remain airborne for over 24 hours and has a range capable of striking targets beyond the Urals and into Russian Siberia. During testing, the drone demonstrated its tactical and technical capabilities. The Dovbush T40 boasts several advantages over similar aircraft, including an extremely low radar signature, a powerful engine with an electronic fuel injection system, and multiple target-engagement options.

It also exhibits high resistance to electronic warfare. Produced by a Ukrainian enterprise with extensive experience in similar aircraft, the Dovbush T40 has proven effective in medium-range reconnaissance, real-time artillery fire correction, and precision strikes. Following its predecessor, the Dovbush T20, the T40 is now a long-range, more powerful strike system.
