We analyze the hard X-ray properties of five radio-loud active galactic nuclei with peculiar spectral shape. High-energy exponential cut-offs (HEC) in their hard X-ray 3-500 keV spectra are too high for radio loud AGNs (above 100 keV) or even absent.The probable reason of such visible spectral “peculiarity” can be due to the “jet contamination”, i.e we see some mixture of the jet and nuclear emission, but not pure emission of the innermost nucleus. Here we try to estimate the jet and nuclear components of the spectra for a sample of “peculiar” RL AGNs to find out whether these are real or fake features.
