""Due to its large internal volume, it can fit powerful armament inside, equal to one artillery and one infantry regiment, or, taking its invincibility into account, the power of one infantry division."
The inventor armed his creation with 16 medium caliber guns and 35-40 machineguns, as well as "active offensive chemical weapons". The moving fortress was designed to break through enemy defensive lines. Enemy fire would be unable to harm this all-crushing monstrosity.
"Due to its shape, it is impervious to all types of weapons, except maybe a direct hit from a heavy shell… aside from the tracks that can be destroyed with a powerful explosive."
The moving fortress could be a reliable weapon for delivering soldiers behind enemy lines and crushing his supply lines. Derkach lauded its absolute terrain passability: "its sharp nose will uproot all trees (aside from century-old ones) and bend them around the hull". And, finally, "will have a crushing effect on enemy morale, as no human spirit can stand before such a monster."
