The patrol craft have a modern and comfortable design. They are armed with a 14.5 mm MTPU machine gun, SAM systems, and other weapons, they can have additional armament installed if needed.[2] The boats carry a smaller boat to perform missions such as search and rescue and boarding operations. The boats can reach high speeds, have excellent navigability and maneuverability, and a decent suite of weapons allowing them to perform required missions.[3]
