Russia Chooses Indian Shipyard Pipavav for Joint Construction of Upgraded Talwar Class frigates
 
Russia has chosen the private shipyard Pipavav in India for the joint construction of Upgraded Talwar class frigates (Project 11356) India’s Economic Times newspaper reported on Thursday. A government source told the publication that the "naval frigate order is likely to exceed $3 billion, making it the private sector's biggest-ever warship-building project." "After an evaluation of several Indian shipyards, including that of Larsen & Toubro, Russia has formally informed the Defense Ministry that Pipavav has been chosen as its Indian partner for the project. Officials said a formal letter was sent by Federal Service for Military Technical Cooperation (FSMTC) director Alexander Fomin last week confirming the partnership," the newspaper reported.

The upgraded Talwar frigates will be based on the Project 11356 / Admiral Grigorovich class of the Russian navy. The first ship of the class was laid down in December 2010. Four more ships of the same class are in various stages of construction at the shipyard. All six frigates will be delivered to the Black Sea Fleet between 2014 and 2017 under two contracts with the Defense Ministry.

The Project 11356 frigates, displacing 3,850 tons, are designed for anti-ship and anti-submarine warfare as well as for air defense missions, operating both independently or as part of convoys and naval task forces.

In their Russian configuration,the frigates are armed with an eight-cell launcher for Kalibr and Klub (3M54E) anti-ship and surface-to-surface missiles, a 100-mm main gun, Kashtan gun/missile close-in air defense systems, Shtil vertical-launch air defense missile systems, two torpedo tubes, an anti-submarine rocket system and a Ka-28 or Ka-31 helicopter, according to defense industry sites globalsecurity.org and rusnavy.com.

"The contract for the new frigates is likely to be in the form of a government-to-government order with Russia and could be signed this financial year with delivery expected over the next six to eight years," according to the publication. Indian Vice-chief of naval staff, Vice-Admiral P. Murugesan, has confirmed that the sides have been in negotiations on the frigate building technology transfer.

In the period from 2003 to 2013, India has bought from Russia six Talwar class frigates, which were built at the Baltic Shipyard in St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad-based Yantar Shipyard. It was announced after that that India was no longer going to buy finished ships and requested Russia to transfer the technology.
