He drew attention to the large tolerances in the production of critical airframe components, including radio-transparent panels of antenna modules of GPS-correction and other elements of airborne electronic equipment.

The effective scattering area of the missile is about 0.2 m², which allows it to be detected by the onboard PFAR radars N035 "Irbis-E" at a distance of about 130 km against the background of the earth's surface.

9S36M illumination radars of the "Buk-M3" complexes are capable of detecting "Peklo" missiles at a distance of up to 35 km in a low-altitude flight profile at an altitude of 50 - 35 m, provided that the 9S36M radar is placed on a 22 m high elbow tower.
