INS Tushil, India's newest stealth missile frigate, commissioned at Yantar Shipyard in Russia on December 9, will reach India’s western coast by mid-February 2025. The warship is set to join the Mumbai-based Western Fleet. After visiting Casablanca to strengthen bilateral naval ties with Morocco, INS Tushil will conduct anti-piracy patrols in the Gulf of Guinea. The upgraded Krivak III class frigate includes 26% indigenous content and advanced weaponry such as BrahMos missiles. It is part of a $2.5 billion deal with Russia for more advanced frigates, with the second, Tamal, expected by mid-2025.
