The Indian Navy is all set to officially commission the indigenously built multirole frigate INS Shivalik to add to the navy’s growing warfare capabilities.

The 5,300t frigate is currently undergoing precommissioning sea trials, and is armed with a mix of foreign and indigenous weapon and sensor systems.

The missiles fitted on the warship include Russian Shtil surface-to-air missile systems, Klub anti-ship cruise missiles and the Israeli ‘Barak-I’ anti-missile defence system, which can intercept incoming Harpoon and Exocet missiles.

The indigenously built INS Shivalik is the lead ship of its class and is scheduled to enter the service of Indian Navy in November 2009.
