Israeli missile-defense expert Dr. Uzi Rubin says missiles with cluster warheads must be intercepted before submunitions disperse; opening occurs at relatively low altitude (about 7 km), making post‑release interception far less effective.

It is believed to have been lodged in the ice while ancient hunters were pursuing reindeer, which sought refuge from botflies near ice and snow. This discovery adds significant time depth to the site and highlights the fruitful nature of ongoing archaeological research in the area.
