Q. Which one of the following best describes about 'INS Tushil', recently mentioned in the news?
Answer:
Talwar-class stealth frigate
Notes: INS Tushil, India's latest naval asset, began sea trials from Russia's Baltiysk naval base. It is the first Krivak-III frigate acquired under Project 11356M, a 2016 Inter-Governmental Agreement with Russia. The project involves four Admiral Grigorovich-class frigates, with Russia supplying two (INS Tushil and INS Tamala), and India constructing the other two. These Talwar-class frigates, based on Project 11356, are stealth-guided missile frigates tailored to Indian Navy specifications, addressing air, surface, and sub-surface dimensions.
