INS Tamala (F445), second Talwar Class (Batch III) frigate as of December 2024.

It is expected to be commissioned in the first half of 2025.

Sister ship INS Tamala is due for handover in the first quarter of 2025.

There isn't much of resources available for IN vessels even on large databases, so obviously some Chill Guy had to step in

Spoiler: NOTE

• These are not supposed to be accurate technical drawings, rather these are just scaled pictorial representation meant for things like size or number estimation.
• Only "combatants" were included; support or patrol vessels were intentionally omitted.
• Rajput, Brahmputara, Abhay and Khukri are more or less retired so left them. Also as this point adenosine has won over all the caffeine in my brain...
• In terms of future ships, NGC, NGMV and ASW-SWC were left and only S4 and Nilgiri were included as we still don't have much resource to do drafting.

Ab khush @shade2 ??

Missed the Brahmaputra Class (same age as Talwar Batch I) but overall it's good.

Offtopic but I couldn't help be amazed at the Kirov Class Nuclear Battle Cruiser (Project Orlan II) modernization project.

Admiral Nakhimov's refit has been completed and sea trials are to begin in 2025 and return to service in 2026. The nuclear reactor has been started and it was last seen being tugged for degaussing.

In the words of one Russian Telegram channel, “The heart of the ship beats again.” This was a reference to the ship’s dormant nuclear reactor.

It has nuclear reactor and 174 VLS (60 VLS x Zircon and 84 VLS x S350)
