One of frigates for Indian Navy to be floated out in Kaliningrad
06.10.2009
The first out of three Project 1135.6 frigates being constructed for Indian Navy in Russia will be floated out at Yantar shipyard (Kaliningrad) in November 2009.
"Launching of frigate is planned approximately on Nov 8. Some changes in schedule are possible but not later than Nov 15", said Igor Orlov, the shipyard's Director General to Interfax.
According to him, the first frigate will be delivered to the customer in mid-2011; the second vessel will be hander over in the end of 2011, and the third one – in 2012.
In terms of nautical characteristics new ships will be practically like those built and delivered to India before, but in weapons systems and equipment there will be a number of innovations "making the first frigate the lead ship of this project", underlined I. Orlov.
He remarked that under Indian offset program, samples of equipment developed jointly with France and Germany will be installed for the first time.
The construction contract of three frigates for Indian Navy was signed on July 14, 2007 in Delhi. Total value of the contract makes around $1.6 bln. That is the second delivery contract of Russian frigates for India. The first one cost about $1 bln and was signed in November 1997. Under that contract three frigates – Tabar (Axe), Trishul (Trident) and Talwar (Sword) – were built and handed over to Indian Navy.
Project 1135.6 frigate is a multipurpose vessel. It is designed under stealth technology. Total displacement of the vessel is 4 035 t, speed up to 30 knots, crew is 193. Main attack weapon is antiship missile system Club-N developed and made by Novator Design Bureau (Yekaterinburg) specifically for export to India. To fight aerial and sea targets, frigate is armed with a newest artillery system comprising 100-mm single-gun artillery mount A-190E and fire direction system 5P-10E Puma. Presently, it is the most rapid-fire naval gun – on mode of double-sided ammunition feed A-190E performs 80 rounds per minute and provides effective firing range of about 20 km.
Fire direction system provides automatic search, lock-on and tracking of targets. Data collection and processing, and also delivery of target designation to all frigate's weapon systems are carried out by Trebovanie-M tactical data system. Frigate is armed with Shtil-1 multichannel midrange SAM system, Kashtan ship-to-air missile and artillery system, eight Igla man-portable air defense systems, two DTA-53-11356 twin torpedo tubes, RBU-6000 antisubmarine rocket launcher. The frigate has helipad and airshed for Ka-28 or Ka-31 helicopter.
