This engine generates 100 dB of sound and large amounts of heat, making the Trembita an attractive target for enemy air defenses, especially MANPADS missiles.

[1][11] Trembita, due to the type of engine used, is equipped with a rocket accelerator, enabling proper launch.

[1] Due to its simplicity and low price, this missile may be an equivalent of the Iranian Shahed 131 drone used massively by the Russians during the War in Ukraine.

[7] The idea is that its low cost will enable the launch of dozens of Trembitas at once to overwhelm enemy defenses.

While the missile version is already cheap, the decoy version without a warhead or sophisticated navigation system costs even less at USD 3,000; this would allow more decoys to be launched for air defenses to expend interceptors against and clear the way for missiles to reach their target.
