Sea trials of frigate INS Teg have been successfully finished in the Baltic Sea; the ship was built for Indian Navy by Yantar Shipyard (Kaliningrad, Russia), reports ITAR-TASS.

According to the shipyard’s press secretary Sergei Mikhailov, all shipboard systems including BrahMos missile system operate normally. To complete state trials, frigate INS Teg has to perform only one sortie scheduled in Jan 2012.

Indian crew will start training onboard the ship late in Jan 2012. The frigate is to be handed over to Indian Navy in Apr 2012.

INS Teg was laid down at Yantar in 2007 and became the first of three Project 1135.6 ships built for Indian Navy. Other two frigates – INS Tarkash and INS Trikand – are being currently completed. They are planned to join Indian Navy in 2012 and 2013 respectively. The contract signed in 2007 in New Delhi cost $1.6 bln.

According to ITAR-TASS, new Project 1135.6 frigates have almost same technical characteristics as three ships of the same project – INS Tabar, INS Trishul, and INS Talwar – delivered to India under the contract of 1997. Mostly, differences are about armament. For instance, new frigates are equipped with BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles in contrast to the preceding trio armed with antiship missiles Club-N.

Displacement of Project 1135.6 frigates is 4,000 tons; length is 124.8 meters; max speed is 30 knots; operating range is 4,500 miles.

its good to have these kind of frigates with brahmos ... now we will have more sharp claws to tear the hostile ships into the pieces:enjoy::butcher:
 
We need a lot of those!!

Sadly thats not as easy as it sound

With CAG Barking at Mazagaon for 2 yr Delay in Shivalik class , And with start of construction of P-17A delayed to end of 2012 from end of 2011 becoz every Govt watchdog does nothing but criticize our indigenous efforts and even question awarding future Contracts to MOD Shipyards , while conveniently forgetting that a similar spec Foreign frigate cost more than Twice that Indian version As was the case with French Horizon class which cost 2 Billion USD and which we were looking at before developing Shivalik class of

Indian Navy doesnot expect Mazagaon Docks and GRSE to begin delivery of P-17A before 2019-20 , Hence it is looking to Hedge that Risk with Purchase of 4 Frigates Designed by a foreign shipyard and Built at a Private sector Shipyard like L&T Shipyard or Pippav Shipyard under TOT

Earlier Plan was to get additional 4 Talwar class Ships Built at L&T Shipyard under TOT , this now stands cancelled when Russians delayed Teg class by 1 Yr and India does not want to be made a Fool of Thrice
India is now looking at BAE for a Possible collaboration in there Global combat ship Project , under which 4 Anti Air warfare frigates could be procured
 
Also one thing I never understood is that Were NDA Finance Minister and Defense Minister That Gullible or Stupid coz all there Budgetary calculations regarding Naval Projects have Screwed up
I mean 3 Shivalik Class ships were 7500 Cr over Budget even though they are 2.5 times cheaper than there similar spec Western Counterparts
3 Kolkata class Destroyer too over Budget by 5000 Cr but still 3 times cheaper than there Similar Spec Western Counterparts

4 Kamorta class Corvette over Budget by 3000 Cr but still half the cost of similar western Product

Vikrant class over Budget by 5500 Cr , still Half the cost of Similar western AC , not to mention still cheaper than Gorshkov
