These frigates are part of the follow-on series of P1135.6 ships, which are now being constructed indigenously by Indian shipyards.The first Russian-built ship, INS Tushil, has already been commissioned into the Indian Navy.These frigates are designed for combat on the surface of the sea, beneath it, and in the air. Equipped with BrahMos missiles, these guided missile frigates have formidable power to strike enemy ships and land targets. With a maximum speed of 30 nautical miles per hour, they can cover a distance of up to 3,000 kilometers at this speed. For defense against air attacks, the ship is armed with the medium-range Shteyl and short-range Igla missile systems.To counter enemy submarines, the ship is equipped with anti-submarine rockets and torpedoes. The radar installed for surface monitoring and sonar for underwater search are state-of-the-art. The combat management system onboard helps in utilizing each weapon quickly and effectively. A helicopter can also be deployed on these frigates.The induction of Talwar-class warships into the Indian Navy began in 2003, and currently, six of these warships are part of the fleet. Four of these have been equipped with long-range BrahMos missiles, while the remaining two will be armed with BrahMos missiles soon. After the addition of four new follow-on warships, the total number of Talwar-class warships in the Navy will rise to 10.

India Launches Second Talwar-Class Frigate 'Tavasya' in Cooperation With Russia
The second frigate of Project 1135.6 Additional Follow-on Ships, named ‘Tavasya’, was launched at Goa Shipyard Limited (GSL).
These frigates are part of the follow-on series of P1135.6 ships, which are now being constructed indigenously by Indian shipyards.
'Tavasya' is the fourth ship of the Talwar-class being built under the India-Russia agreement, which includes the construction of two ships in Russia and two in India.
The first Russian-built ship, INS Tushil, has already been commissioned into the Indian Navy.
These frigates are designed for combat on the surface of the sea, beneath it, and in the air. Equipped with BrahMos missiles, these guided missile frigates have formidable power to strike enemy ships and land targets. With a maximum speed of 30 nautical miles per hour, they can cover a distance of up to 3,000 kilometers at this speed.
