The Indian Navy is poised to significantly enhance its maritime capabilities with the commissioning of four advanced warships and submarines in the coming weeks. This strategic move underscores India’s commitment to bolstering its naval forces and safeguarding its maritime interests.
Among the vessels slated for induction is INS Nilgiri, a stealth frigate designed and built indigenously. This state-of-the-art warship is equipped with advanced weaponry and sensors, enabling it to operate effectively in various maritime environments.
INS Surat, another indigenously built stealth frigate, will also join the fleet. This vessel is designed to perform a wide range of missions, including anti-surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, and air defense.
In addition to surface warships, the Indian Navy is set to welcome two advanced submarines. INS Tushil, a stealth frigate built in Russia, will be the last of two foreign-built vessels to join the fleet.
INS Vagsheer, a Kalvari-class submarine built indigenously, will also be commissioned. This submarine is equipped with advanced sonar systems and torpedo tubes, making it a formidable force in underwater warfare.
