The main weapon of SERDAR is a mobile version of the anti-tank system "Skif" with two launchers for 130 mm RK-2S missiles. They are capable of engaging targets at ranges of up to 5 km and penetrating armor 800 mm thick. The system can also be optionally equipped with rocket launchers with 152-mm RK-2M missiles. This will increase the firing range to 5.5 km and improve armor penetration to 1,100 mm. In addition, the SERDAR can boast two machine guns of 12.7 mm and 7.62 mm caliber.
