Besides advantages, Tarantul also had several limitations such as the ship's air defense capability is very low because it is not equipped with missile interceptors that only professional naval version of the missile Igla-1M shoulder and reliability 2 fast dependable artillery AK-630M is not appreciated.

Tarantul often taking advantage of it thanks to the element of surprise, based on the same powerful high-speed anti-ship missiles to attack targets. However, before the strong development of the long-range reconnaissance technology, the element of surprise is very unlikely, if so, should be based on terrain and stealth features.
