JSC Yantar shipyard (Kaliningrad) began dockside trials of frigate INS Trikand. The third warship being built for Indian Navy will be handed over in the next year. The new frigate will be equipped with new powerful arms including BrahMos cruise missiles. Crewmembers will feel themselves aboard as good as in a five-star hotel.
Even though the ship is moored at the shipyard's quay, she has already started dockside trials. Shipwrights are aligning and testing all shipboard systems. When the main propulsion plant is started, the frigate will be ready to take the sea.
"Actually, we're checking whether all things operate normally. I mean, the water goes through pipelines, no leaks, electric equipment works, and illumination is okay too", says the ship's engineer-in-charge Igor Stelmakh.
