- Ukrainian veteran kriegsforscherD was one of the first to publicly comment about this new system. According to him, the Dan-T has a range of 500 kilometers with a warhead of approximately 135 kilograms. The missile can reportedly be launched from Su-25, Su-30, Su-34, Su-57, and Mi-28 aircraft.
- Analysts believe that Russia is planning to produce 10,000 of these missiles in 2027.
- The most important features of the project are its use of domestic components and estimated 35% lower cost compared to the Banderol (per United24).
