After interrupting the task and returning home, already on the ground, after releasing the landing gear, the remaining hydraulic oil spilled onto the engine, causing it to catch fire. The fire broke out quickly, but was extinguished. The damage was so great that the plane had to be scrapped.

Based on his idea, the airplane, as a symbol of the type of weapon, was displayed in front of the main gate of the airport on January 5, 1976, facing the sky.
