It is known that currently Su-34, Su-35S, and Su-57 can work with these missiles. "Voennaya Khronika" noted that "Dan-T" can also be used with Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopters, as their suspension allows for such weaponry.

The Mi-8/17 is the most common type of helicopter in Russian army aviation. According to an assessment by the international analytical institute IISS, there are at least 700-800 of them in service.

Recall that, according to open sources, "Dan-T" is a hybrid of a jet kamikaze drone and a simplified cruise missile, capable of flying up to 500 km.
