Dovbush UAV is designed for exploration and adjustment of fire, but its impact version can carry an explosive capable of punching the armor of combat equipment. The Russian Federation stated that the forces of Ukraine are used unmanned devices "Dovbush" in the Kursk region, in the border areas of which the fighting is ongoing. About it wrote the Russian Telegram-channel "UAKS RESPONSIBLE".

The occupier posted a photo of a drone that resembles a Ukrainian "Dovbush", noting that he was found near Kursk. According to him, the Ukrainian military used this unit for intelligence purposes. In December 2022, it became known that in Ukraine the mass production of new reconnaissance drones "Dovbush T10" began.

The organizer of the project and co -founder of Monobank Volodymyr Yatsenko noted that the UAV was initially created for reconnaissance missions and adjustment of fire, but it can also be processed into a shock drone. It was reported that Dovbush T10 is equipped with ordinary cameras and thermal units to identify goals. It is almost invulnerable to hostile air defense and radio electronic struggle, however, occupiers can still suppress satellite navigation signals.

The main weakness of the drone was the sensitivity to the weather conditions. "As for the required number of drones that are constantly working on the front, my rating has not changed in recent months-500-600 UAVs that would control the territory of 24/7. That is, a minimum of one drone for 10 kilometers of the front extending over a thousand kilometers ", - said Vladimir Yatsenko. In August 2023, Volodymyr Yatsenko also announced the creation of UAV "Dovbush T20".
