Overview
Yartura is a Ukrainian maker of interceptor drones, founded in 2022 according to its website. Its Dancer 4.5.0 is a fixed-wing drone built mainly to shoot down Shahed-type attack drones, as well as reconnaissance, relay and other small drones. Oboronka and Defender Media report, citing the company, that it reaches 450 km/h, works up to 4.8 km high, has a 30 km combat radius and carries a 1 kg payload. The developers say its automatic terminal guidance recognises typical targets at 1 km and can re-attack after a missed pass. It is supplied as a complex with a ground control station and a trailer-mounted launcher. The company says the system is codified and has defended Ukrainian airspace since April 2026, and that potential buyers from Japan, South Korea and North America showed interest at Eurosatory 2026. These claims are the company’s own.
