Russian Frigate Built for India Starts Final Trials in Baltic Sea

KALININGRAD, April 5 (RIA Novosti) - The last in a series of three frigates that Russia is building for India at the Yantar shipyard in the Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad has started final trials, a shipyard spokesman said on Friday.
The Trikand frigate carried out workup trials on March 14 and was cleared for final state trials on April 4, spokesman Sergei Mikhailov said, adding the trials will last through the end of April.
The frigate is due to be handed over to the Indian Navy this June, Mikhailov said.
Russia and India signed a $1.6 billion contract on the construction of three modified Krivak III class (also known as Talwar class) guided missile frigates for India in 2006.
The first frigate, INS Teg, joined the Indian Navy on April 27, 2012, and the second, The Tarkash, arrived at the port of Mumbai in India on December 30, 2012.
The frigates are each armed with eight BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles.
They are also equipped with a 100-mm gun, a Shtil surface-to-air missile system, two Kashtan air-defense gun/missile systems, two twin 533-mm torpedo launchers and an antisubmarine warfare (ASW) helicopter.

I think u never heart about Shivalik frigates but what is problem when we getting frigates from Russia. we already busy with making advance destroyers and frigates and other ships so It will be very useful if we get more good ships from others country.

No, India cannot..........because India is building 6,200 tonne Frigates now. Apart from having constructed Destroyers earlier.
Happy? Don't forget to apply for a half-dallah. I'll recommend you if you want.

It's a question of a lack of capcity within Indian defence shipyards right now. They are simply overloaded and packed to the rafters with orders. Steps are being taken to resolve this with massive capacity expansionary work but this takes time. India had the choice of waiting 10 years for the back up to be cleared so that work could commence on some frigates or go to Russia, get a reasonable deal, get a capable ship in reasonable time and decommission some of their ageing fleet.


I'm sure you'd agree the IN made the right call.

PLAN got 2x2 Sovremenny from Russia. So, .... China can´t build a 6,200 tons standard, 7,940 tons full load destroyer!? Next, apply to VARYAG.

That ' Sovremenny' destroyers were many years ago！

Varyag is also a different story.

We refit the powerless piece of rusty iron ourselves, turning it into a functional aircraft carrier, seizing the opportunities of advancing precious experience of building modern carriers ourselves; and saving costs.

Whereas india's same russia aircraft carrier model has encountered a different fate on the hard side. Get it!?!

 

[acid rain]

Why do Indian members get heckled by these dumb Chinese 50 cent trolls? just put them on the ignore list and move on.
