VIEW SPECIFICATIONS [+]
INS Tushil is a new guided-missile frigate warship destined for Indian Navy service. The vessel is the former Russian Navy Admiral Butakov built by the Yantar Shipyard of Russia, laid down on July 13th, 2013, and launched on March 5th, 2016. An agreement between the two nations has resulted in the hull being sold to India for service under a different name in same role. Rebuilding of the vessel was started on October 28th, 2021 with commissioning expected sometime after 2022.

INS Tushil will retain all of capabilities inherent in the Admiral Grigorovich-class of fighting frigates - three serving the modern Russian Navy. This includes modern air- / surface-search radar, Fire Control Systems (FCSs), and hull-mounted / towed sonar. The vessel will carry an enhanced Electronic Warfare (EW) suite and countermeasures (including decoys) to meet modern threats. Armament will run the gamut of ballistic, missile, and torpedo weaponry and a single navalized helicopter will be supported from the stern-based helipad. A full-service hangar facility will ensure proper at-sea maintenance of the rotorcraft (Ka-27 or similar).

Onboard is a crew of approximately 200 and supplies allow the ship to remain on-station up to 30 days.

Power will be supplied by a COmbined Gas-And-Gas (COGAG) arrangement involving 2 x DS-71 gas turbines for cruising actions and 2 x DT-59 gas turbines for dash actions driving the vessel to ocean-going speeds of 30 knots out to a range of 5,600 miles.

Structural dimensions include a running length of 409.4 feet, a beam of 49.9 feet, and a draught of 13.8 feet. Displacement is 3,620 tons under standard loads and up to 4,000 tons under full load.

INS Tushil is set to join another ex-Admiral Grigrovich vessel - INS Tamala - as the Indian Navy welcomes its two newest fighting frigates into service before the end of the decade. As currently planned, Tamala will be commissioned after the arrival of Tushil.©MilitaryFactory.com
