DTN News - INDIA DEFENSE NEWS: Indian Navy Inducting Second Indigenous Stealth Frigate....NSI News Source Info # 2273(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - July 28, 2011: India Navy’s second indigenous stealth frigate, INS Satpura, will be inducted into the service next month in Mumbai, giving India more options to launch surprise attacks on the enemy.
The second Shivalik class frigate will be commissioned on August 20 by Defence Minister A K Antony, said a navy spokesperson. Antony had commissioned the first ship, INS Shivalik, last April.
The third ship in the line, INS Sahayadri, is likely to be inducted into the service in another nine months. Each ship is priced upwards of Rs 2,500 crore.
India currently operates three Russian stealth frigates (Talwar class) and has ordered three more from Russia. The first one is likely to be delivered next week.
The stealth features—reduced radar signature—come from changed geometry of the top, few projections in the upper deck, less heat and magnetic signatures and diminished noise vibration.
