INS TUSHIL LAUNCHED

Tushil, the first of the two ships of the Project-1135.6 (also known as Krivak or Talwar-class stealth frigates) being built in Russia at Yantar Shipyard for the Indian Navy under the IGA agreement, was launched from dry dock into the water. The two ships that India is purchasing directly from Russia are expected to be delivered by 2023.

The vessels have been constructed based on the Indian Navy’s specific requirements to meet the requisites of naval warfare in aerial, sub-surface, and surface methods. The Indian Navy in its statement said that these frigates have been equipped with a combination of state-of-art Indian and Russian weapons and sensors so that they can operate both as a single unit and as a group in a naval task force.
