Russian-Built Frigate Joins to enhance Indian Navy

India on Friday formally commissioned a new frigate into its navy, following a handover ceremony at a shipyard in Russia’s Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad.

Mumbai / NationalTurk – INS Teg is the first of three modified Krivak III class (also known as Talwar class) guided missile frigates being built at the Yantar Shipyard under a $1.6 billion deal sealed in 2006.

The other two warships will follow in a year or so, a Yantar spokesman told RIA Novosti.

Stealth Technologies set to change warfare

The 3,970-ton frigate incorporates stealth technologies and is armed with eight 290-km BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles. It’s deadly.
It is also equipped with ‘sensors for three-dimensional warfare,’ the Times of India newspaper reported.

Russian Warships sold to India

The Indian navy already has three Russian-built Talwar class frigates.
