Effective range is stated as 3 to 5 km against drone links; this is a maker-derived figure and real range depends on drone and operator geometry. Sources disagree on weight: Wikipedia gives 5.5 kg, Unmanned Airspace 6.5 kg. Ukrainian state exporter SpetsTechnoExport said in 2023 that Ukraine operates 'thousands' of NT Service jammers; that count is an official wartime claim. Also in service with Lithuania, Romania (as Skybeam) and Nigeria.
