KALININGRAD, December 9. /TASS/. The Project 11356 Tamal frigate under construction of the Indian Navy at the Yantar shipyard is planned to be delivered in spring 2025, chief executive of the shipyard Ilya Samarin said.
"Construction of warships is the core business of the Yantar shipyard. Irrespective of whether it is a foreign or a domestic customer, we do our job similarly in good faith and responsibly. It is not accidental that this is already the fourth frigate built at our shipyard. We plan to deliver the fifth one next spring," Samarin said at the ceremony of delivering the Project 11356 Tushil frigate to the Indian Navy.
The specific feature of ship construction is installation of foreign customer’s equipment onboard, its integration with Russian systems and the joint effort of Russian and foreign counterparties during trials and at closing stages of construction, the chief executive said. "Further to our construction of frigates, we also educate the Indian crew and specialists, transfer the experience and knowledge to them for the forthcoming service on this frigate and for further construction of ships in India," he added.
