Summary
Yartura presented the Dancer 4.5.0 interceptor drone, saying the new version adds higher speed, automatic target guidance and protection against electronic warfare.
The launch comes as Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine highlights how cheap, pervasive drones can slip past air-defense networks built mainly to track missiles and combat aircraft.
NATO Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe Sir John Stringer said Western countries need to reinvest in a broader range of sensors, including low-cost acoustic systems that use microphones to detect drones.
That battlefield lesson is pushing Western militaries and Ukrainian firms alike toward layered counter-drone defenses that combine simpler detection tools with new interceptors.
