The Indian Navy will commission its latest multi-role stealth guided missile frigate INS Tushil at Russia’s coastal city of Kaliningrad on Monday in the presence of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.
Upon commissioning, INS Tushil will join the Western Fleet of the Indian Navy and will rank amongst the most technologically advanced frigates in the world, officials said.
It will not only be a symbol of the Indian Navy’s growing capabilities but also the resilient collaborative strength of the India-Russia partnership, they said.
INS Tushil is expected to significantly bolster the Indian Navy’s operational capability in the Indian Ocean, a region that has witnessed increasing forays by China’s PLA Navy in the last few years
