When construction was armed with three fixed pneumatic guns placed in the bow. Among them were thrown out with compressed air (70 atm.) Projectiles filled with wet pyroxylin. The ship was supposed to be used in combat with the coastal fortifications, as well as minesweepers: it was assumed that its missiles in an explosion in the water will destroy minefields.
