Yantar Shipbuilding Yards at Kaliningrad launched India's 7th Talwar Class Frigate INS Tushil on October 29th, pictured being cold moved to the fitting out wharf today. She will be a potent combination of state-of-art Indian and Russian Weapons and Sensors and are equipped to operate in Littoral and Blue waters, both as a single unit and as consort in a naval task force. They feature “stealth technology” in terms of low radar and under water noise signatures. These ships are being equipped with major Indian supplied equipment such as Surface to Surface Missiles, Sonar system, Surface Surveillance Radar, Communication Suite and ASW system along with Russian Surface to Air Missiles and gun mounts.
