| INS Teg, 1st of 3 modified Talwar class Frigates |
MOSCOW (BNS): The third and final Talwar-class guided missile frigate 'INS Trikand' has completed sea trials and is expected to be handed over to the Indian navy in June.
The trials were conducted in the Baltic Sea. The frigate being built by Yantar shipyard in Russia, carried out workup trials on 14 March and was cleared for final state trials on 4 April, a Ria Novosti report said.
INS Trikand effectively engaged a target flying at 50 metres above the sea level with its surface-to-air missile system during trials last week, the report quoting shipyard spokesman Sergei Mikhailov said.
The frigate will return to the shipyard for final inspection after completion of onboard training by the Indian crew, it said.
