The armament of the boat is made up of two remotely controlled naval combat modules BM-5.01 "Katran-M" (about which we wrote our blog) produced by the GP Mykolayiv Repair-Mechanical Plant, which is a variant of the BM-3 "Storm" combat module for armored vehicles. Each Katran-M module includes an 30-mm automatic gun ZTM1, 30-mm automatic grenade launcher and 7,62-mm CT machine gun, as well as two Barrier ATGMs with a laser guidance system.
