"Can fly for days": Ukraine's Defense Ministry threatens the Urals and Siberia with a new drone

10 939 11

The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has accepted into service the domestically developed Dovbush T40 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a range of over two thousand kilometers. This was reported on the military department's Telegram channel. It emphasizes that the drone can remain airborne for more than 24 hours. Kyiv warns that this is sufficient for combat operations against targets in the Urals and western Siberia.

During testing, the Dovbush T40 demonstrated a number of advantages over its counterparts: ultra-low radar signature, high engine performance with an electronic fuel injection system, and significant resistance to electronic warfare.

– states the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.



It is emphasized that various equipment options allow the model to conduct deep reconnaissance, adjust fire, and carry out high-precision strikes by dropping ammunition or in a kamikaze format.

As a reminder, the Kyiv regime is currently attacking targets on Russian territory with its drones on a daily basis. The enemy is placing particular emphasis on destroying oil refineries and logistics warehouses in Russia's regions.

Kyiv makes no secret of the fact that it hopes to provoke a fuel crisis in Russia, which, according to Bankova, will lead to large-scale protests.

It should be emphasized that in a number of cases, enemy drones have indeed managed to fly impressive distances in Russian airspace and strike industrial and fuel and energy facilities.

At the same time, as experts note, the lion's share of unmanned aerial vehicles are successfully shot down by the Russian air defense system.

      The Russian Burevestnik can also fly for days.

      Like Oreshnik, it can hit toilets with millimeter accuracy. Instead of Bankova. But the supposedly Ukrainian Dovbush, after the Russian State Duma elections, will miraculously be able to reach oil refineries and other facilities in Eastern Siberia.

      At the same time, as experts note, the lion's share of unmanned aerial vehicles are successfully shot down by the Russian air defense system.

      And we will continue to justify the damage caused by the mouse share of drones that were not shot down, and the lion's share of those that were successfully shot down.
      PS: The lion's share of successfully shot down drones will constantly increase until a strategic defeat of Russia is inflicted by a fraction of those that are not shot down, a mouse's share.

      Between the clouds and the sea, the Petrel soars proudly. It's a shame it never reaches Ukraine.

    Come on, already. We're basically ready for anything. The borderland terrors are just a dream for now, anyway.

    Yes, "lion-like" is good. But what about "non-lion-like"? Doesn't it destroy anything? This new drone is still going to cause trouble. Basically, any military or strategic civilian target can be hit anywhere in the Russian Federation. How did those idiots from the Kremlin and the General Staff plan the Air Defense Forces? That it'll just be a stroll and a meeting with flowers?

    In response, we'll throw them a rubber bomb that will bounce for weeks.

    Well done. They're developing science and technology. Russia should also adopt foreign practices.
