Max transmit power on the Siklus is +7 or +10 (which you can put into a 51.5 dBi gain 60cm antenna), so you will never go as far at five nines reliability as a more expensive, high powered 80 GHz link (Bridgewave, E-Band) which has +18 or +19 Tx power.
It depends on how far you're trying to go and your rain zone/rain rate in mm/hour. Of course there is serious rain fade, it's 80 GHz. You just have to engineer the link right.
