The Navy is gearing up to commission its latest addition, INS Tushil, on December 9, at a ceremony in Kaliningrad, Russia. This multi-role stealth-guided missile frigate represents an important milestone in improving the Navy's capabilities. The event will be graced by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh as the chief guest, alongside senior officials from both Russian and Indian governments and defence sectors.
INS Tushil is an upgraded Krivak III class frigate under Project 1135.6, making it the seventh ship in the series. The contract for INS Tushil was signed in October 2016 between JSC Rosoboronexport, the Indian Navy, and the Government of India.
The design of INS Tushil, a 125-metre and 3,900-tonne ship, incorporates advanced stealth features. The collaboration between Indian naval specialists and Russia's Severnoye Design Bureau has increased the indigenous content of the ship, which now stands at 26 per cent. The number of Indian-made systems has also more than doubled to 33.
INS Tushil is equipped with cutting-edge technology, a blend of Russian and Indian engineering expertise, ensuring it is one of the most technologically advanced frigates in the world. Following its construction, the ship underwent a series of trials starting in January 2024, conducted by a team of Indian specialists. The trials verified the performance of all Russian equipment installed on board, including weapon systems. The ship also achieved a speed exceeding 30 knots. With these trials now successfully completed, INS Tushil is set to arrive in India in a nearly combat-ready state.
