Stealth frigates from Russia to be delivered in September 2024, February 2025

Stealth frigates for Indian Navy delayed by COVID, war in Ukraine, and sanctions, set for delivery starting September.

First ship Tushil is ready for acceptance by the Indian Navy and is scheduled to be delivered by September. The commissioning crew reached Russia earlier this month,” a defence official in the know said. “The second ship Tamal is expected to be delivered by February 2025.”

In October 2016, India and Russia signed an Inter-Governmental Agreement for the four stealth frigates, two directly imported and two to be manufactured by Goa Shipyard Limited (GSL). A $1-billion deal was subsequently signed for the two frigates under direct purchase. In November 2018, the GSL signed a $500 mn deal with Rosoboronexport of Russia for material, design and specialist assistance to locally manufacture the two frigates, and in January 2019, the contract was signed between the Indian Defence Ministry and GSL. All the four ships are powered by engines from Zorya-Mashproekt of Ukraine.

As per schedule, GSL is scheduled to deliver the first ship in 2026 and the second one six months later. Defence officials expressed confidence that they would be delivered on schedule. “Construction at GSL is progressing and lunch (into water) of the first ship would take place in the next couple of months,” another defence source said.

At what point will our Submarine fleet become self sufficient. We are well on our way towards total independence in terms of frigates and destroyers. The submarines program still relies on a bit of international partnership mostly with France. At some point we will have the full capability to build all types of ship by ourselves and I feel like Kalvari is the last Ship we will be building with foreign assistance.

Nuclear attack submarine program will require a lot of assistance

Most ships lost at sea are due to natural causes. Hurricanes and monstrous freak waves that can break the hull of a ship in no time.

Add lack of maintenance, poor hull state and mistakes made by the crew and the global economy looks like a miracle running on prayers and sheer will.

hopefully the deal is signed quickly i find these ships (or rather most new indian ships) to be highly upgradable they must be having good amount of free spaces and capabilities to be upgraded significantly

I think they are waiting for the VLSRSAM to become operational.

What are the changes that will be incorporated into p17b compared to p17a

 

[Fatalis]

What are the changes that will be incorporated into p17b compared to p17a

My guess:

1. Desi MF-SATR
2. Indigenous Integrated Mast
3. UVLS
4. PG-LRSAM
5. 127mm Naval Gun

 

[jaijaganath]

My guess:

1. Desi MF-SATR
2. Indigenous Integrated Mast
3. UVLS
4. PG-LRSAM
5. 127mm Naval Gun

So these will be substituting the existing elements

1.lr-mfr
2.ToT from japan
4.is it instead of barak-8
5.is 127mm gun in development or American import
Will they add vl-srsam

Wow operationalising LRMFR will be a huge moment for India's defence industry.
