The Indian Navy's new Russian-made guided missile frigate, INS Tushil, was commissioned on Monday in Kaliningrad, Russia. The 3,900-tonne warship, part of a $2.5-billion deal signed in 2016, is expected to enhance India's naval capabilities, especially in the Indian Ocean, amidst rising tensions with China's PLA Navy. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, alongside senior officials, attended the ceremony. The ship features a mix of Russian and Indian technologies, with 26% indigenous content. Its design includes advanced stealth features and improved stability. INS Tushil marks a significant milestone in Indo-Russian defence cooperation.
