Ukraine reveals new UAV equipped with 24 hours of flight time and a range of 2,000 kilometres — enough to reach Siberia and back
Ukraine has codified the Dovbush T40, a domestic drone reportedly capable of flying 2,000 kilometres and remaining airborne beyond 24 hours.
Ukraine has unveiled a new drone, the Dovbush T40, boasting an impressive 2,000-kilometre range and the ability to stay airborne for up to 24 hours. The drone, designed and manufactured entirely within Ukraine, serves multiple roles, including reconnaissance, correcting artillery fire, and conducting precision strikes. This advanced long-range UAV represents a significant leap forward from its predecessor, the T20, which was initially developed for medium-range reconnaissance, real-time artillery adjustment, and precision strikes against nearby targets.
The T40's extended range allows it to strike deep into Russian territory, including Siberia, providing Ukrainian forces with strategic reach that surpasses previous systems. While the drone has demonstrated its capabilities during testing, including low radar visibility and resistance to electronic warfare, the ministry has not disclosed specific production details or operational statistics, leaving many aspects of the T40's capabilities and deployment plans shrouded in uncertainty.
