so in case of Russian ATCOS - they warned them about flying below desired GP, and this was all they could do.
When did they do that? The calls had always been "on glidepath, on course" until the "101 horizon" call, which was at 10:40:52,4 At that time 101 was below 25 meters above runway elevation and well below glidepath. The aircraft started to drop below glidepath 16 seconds prior. Source: MAK report Page 156 Figure 45.

That kind of warning at that late point is sensless.
