User:Rohan nog/INS Teg (F45)

INS Teg (F45) is a Talwar class frigate currently under construction for the Indian Navy. It is being built by the Yantar shipyard in Kaliningrad, Russia.

Design
Teg belongs to the Talwar class of frigates. The Talwar class guided missile frigates are modified Krivak III class frigates built by Russia. These ships use stealth technologies and a special hull design to ensure a reduced radar cross section. Much of the equipment on the ship is Russian-made, but a significant number of systems of Indian origin have also been incorporated. The main difference between Teg and the earlier Talwar-class ships is the use of BrahMos missiles in place of the Klub-N missiles in the earlier ships.

Construction
The order for the second batch of Talwar-class frigates was placed in July 2006. The value of the contract was $1.6 billion. The hull of INS Teg was laid down on 27 July 2007. The ship was launched on 27 November 2009. Delivery is scheduled for mid-2011
