Ukraine codifies Dovbush T40 UAV specs

Bottom line

Ukrainian MoD officially defines the Dovbush T40 UAV as a long-endurance, long-range kamikaze or payload platform with low RCS and EW resistance.

Why it matters

The Dovbush T40’s 2,000 km range and EW resistance significantly expand Ukraine’s ability to strike deep Russian logistics and industrial targets while penetrating contested airspace, challenging Russian air defense assumptions.

The Ukrainian MoD has codified the technical specifications for the Dovbush T40 UAV, describing it as a versatile platform capable of over 24 hours of endurance and ranges exceeding 2,000 km. The system is designed for both kamikaze and drop-payload missions, featuring reconnaissance capabilities, low radar cross-section (RCS), and resistance to electronic warfare, powered by an electronic fuel injection engine. This formalization aligns with ongoing operational reports of Ukrainian drone battalions, such as the ‘Shershni Dovbusha’ unit of the 68th Separate Assault Brigade, conducting deep strikes and precision operations in the Donbas region.
