This New Drone Stays Aloft for More than Day and Resists Jamming. Ukraine Says It Can Now Reach Beyond the Urals
Ukraine’s Defense Ministry says the long-endurance Dovbush T40 can reach Siberia and fly more than a day under jamming conditions.
- Ukraine's Defense Ministry codified the Dovbush T40, a strategic-level uncrewed aviation complex designed for deep reconnaissance and precision strikes on distant Russian targets.
- With a wingspan of nearly 5 meters, the T40 is built to resist electronic warfare and reach targets beyond the Urals and into Russian Siberia.
- The Dovbush T40 offers ultra-low radar visibility and operates either as a kamikaze drone or by dropping munitions to strike deep-rear targets including factories and airfields.

- The T40 joins a rapidly expanding domestic fleet; since the start of 2026, the Defense Ministry has codified 413 uncrewed systems, almost all Ukrainian-made.
