Indian Navy officers and seamen are familiarising themselves with INS Teg (Sabre), which is being built by the Yantar Baltic shipbuilding plant in Kaliningrad, spokesman for the plant Sergei Mikhailov said.Some 200 Indian seamen and officers have settled on INS Teg, the first of the three ships of the 11356 project, which has been completed at Yantar they have been introduced to the new frigate and have started familiarising
themselves with its equipment under the guidance of their Russian counterparts from the Baltic Fleet, Mikhailov said.
Today, the frigate arrived from Kaliningrad, by a seaway canal, in Baltiysk, the main naval base of the Baltic Fleet. According to the spokesman, at the end of the week, INS Teg, with a joint Russian-Indian crew, is scheduled to put to the Baltic Sea to complete its state sea trials, during which the Indian sailors will have their first experience in sailing this modern frigate.
After its return from the Baltic Sea, we will start the procedure of handing the frigate over to the customer, Mikhailov said. India plans to induct the ship as early as this April.
The frigate left Yantar for the first time under its own steam in September 2011. Since then, INS Teg has had all its systems, units and mechanisms, as well as onboard weapons,
tested at sea.
Specifically, the ship successfully test-fired the BrahMos, a modern Russia-Indian produced missile.
Building of INS Teg (Sabre) was started at Yantar in mid-2007. The two remaining frigates of this series INS Tarkash (Quiver) and INS Trikand(Bow) have already floated out of the docks and fitting-out is now under way. The former ship is to be commissioned in 2012 and the latter in 2013.
The contract for Yantar to build a second batch of three frigates for the Indian Navy, worth about $1.6 billion, was signed in Delhi on 14 July 2007.
Under the first contract, signed in 1997, Russia built three ships for the Indian Navy INS Tabar (Axe), INS Trishul (Trident) and INS Talwar (Sword).
The new frigates being built by Yantar have certain modifications to their weapons and equipment. Specifically, they are equipped with the 300-km BrahMos supersonic cruise missile.
The Yantar Baltic shipbuilding plant was established on 8 July 1945. It specialises in building small and medium-sized military and civil vessels, as well as ship repairs. The plant has built 154 combat vessels and more than 500 civilian ships. The state holds a controlling stake in Yantar via Western Shipbuilding Centre, a subsidiary of United Shipbuilding Corporation.
