The drone is supplied as part of an unmanned aerial complex. In addition to the interceptor, this includes the Dancer-B1 ground control and monitoring station, a battery charger, a trailer-mounted launch platform with an integrated mast, a remote control unit, an antenna kit, and several reels. The developer notes that the components of the complex can be supplied separately.

According to the company’s website, Yartura was founded in 2022 and focuses on developing fixed-wing interceptors. Production of its own models began in September 2025, with the company able to scale output to over 2,000 units per month. The company’s R&D centre already comprises over ten models of weapons and military equipment.
