Frigate INS Teg Goes to India
05/03/2012 |
 |
Already commissioned into Indian Navy, Project 11356 frigate INS Teg F45 (lead ship of the second trio) left the shipyard's quay on May 2 and moved for Baltiysk.
In the Baltic Fleet (BF) main base, the frigate will be prepared for a long-range cruise to Mumbai naval base. Other Project 11356 frigates (F40 Talwar, F41 Trishul, and F42 Tabar) are also based there along with 15-th Frigate Group of Western Naval Command.
As is planned, after loading fuel and all kinds of supplies INS Teg will leave Baltiysk on May 6 and set a course for India. From experience of previous ships, the cruise would take 1.5-2 months.
The next frigate built by Yantar – INS Tarkash – is currently under mooring trials. In May or June, the ship will begin sea trials. Handing over to Indian Navy is scheduled in Sept or Oct 2012. The third frigate – INS Trikand – is expected to join Indian Navy in the next spring. Those three new ships will form a new frigate group. Their commissioning will considerably strengthen combat capability of Indian Navy.
