The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on September 17, 2026 officially codified and allowed for operation by the Ukrainian Defense Forces a new unmanned aircraft complex (UAC) of the strategic level -.

A new richly functional unmanned aircraft is used for capturing high-precision missions from deep enemy lines: conducting high-level air reconnaissance, detecting fire in real time and delivering high-precision strikes on critical targets..

Strategic range 2,000+ km: breakthrough near the zone beyond the Urals.

The main technical sensation of the “Dovbusha T40” is its unique radius. The cost of covering 2,000 kilometers opens up new opportunities for the Ukrainian Defense Forces to implement the Deep Strike doctrine.

The stagnation range of the UAV is entirely sufficient to cover military-industrial facilities, oil refineries and air bases of the aggressor, located deep in the soil - behind the Ural Mountains and directly in the Russian Siberia.

Due to the constant rotation of the noses and the expansion of the attack radius, the Ukrainian forces are removing the tool created to systematically exsanguinate the Russian defense industry beyond the reach of standard attack techniques.

Design features and durability up to REB.

Under the hour of comprehensive testing of the Dovbush T40 UAV, the UAV “Dovbush T40” has fully confirmed the stated tactical and technical characteristics, demonstrating high reliability in folding meteorological systems and against the influx of powerful radio-electronic suppression.

Key technological advances of the complex:.

High radar signature (Stealth elements): the use of special composite materials and the geometry of the airframe with a wingspan of up to 5 meters minimizes the EPR (effective dispersion area), robbing.

Power plant with an injector: a highly productive engine with an electronic injection system ensures maximum fuel economy, allowing the device to operate in the open air as required (24+ years).

The versatility of combat deployment: the UAV can operate in the mode of a disposable kamikaze attack drone, and can also be used to drop high-precision ammunition from returning to base.

Adaptive navigation and resistance to REB: innovative on-board equipment allows the flight to survive the mission to guide the minds of the total suppression of satellite navigation (GPS/GLONASS) by means of REB type.

The evolution of the homeland “Dovbush”: from the average range to a strategic strike.

“Dovbush T40” was created on a farm in Volodya with a strong scientific and scientific base and a wealth of practical evidence. The advanced developments of this generator - the UAV "

Accumulations of combat evidence and constant feedback from operators of the Defense Forces made it possible to transform the medium-range reconnaissance aircraft Dovbush T20 into a full-fledged strategic strike system Dovbush T40.

By the beginning of 2026, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has codified and approved 413 new UAVs for use in the military, the vast majority of which were developed and manufactured by Ukrainian MilTech companies.

HiTech Expert Take.

The codification of “Dovbush T40” is a final confirmation that the Ukrainian defense industry has finally formed a sovereign school of strategic unmanned flight production. The ability to regularly codify forces with a radius of 2,000+ km from a systemic connection with grant support and preferential loans to military workers for 10 billion UAH allows the Defense Forces to transfer the war directly to. Due to the high productivity and trivality of the world over 24 years, “Dovbush T40” will become a key element of the upcoming phases of the asymmetrical primus of the Russian Federation to the world.
