The Leytenant Ilin-class ships were originally intended to have an armament of two 60-caliber 102 mm (four in) Pattern 1911 Obukhov guns, one gun each on the forecastle and stern, and a dozen torpedo tubes in six double mounts. The Naval General Staff changed this to four triple mounts once they became available in 1914; based on a battle between the destroyer and two German destroyers in August 1915, they decided to exchange the rearmost torpedo mount for two more 102 mm guns on the stern while the ships were still under construction. All of these guns were on the centerline and interfered with each other's movements. Anti-aircraft defense was provided by a anti-aircraft (AA) gun in a single mount amidships. The Leytenant Ilins were completed with one triple torpedo mount between the forward funnels and two mounts aft of the rear funnel. The ships could carry 80 M1912 naval mines. They were also fitted with a Barr and Stroud rangefinder and two searchlights.
