Navy to commission latest Russia-built stealth frigate ‘Tamal' on July 1
NEW DELHI: The Indian Navy will on July 1 commission its latest stealth multirole frigate, Tamal, at the Yantar Shipyard in Kaliningrad, Russia --- the last warship to be inducted from a foreign yard in line with the government's sharp focus on Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) and Make-in-India initiatives, the navy said on Sunday.

(SpokespersonNavy-X) The commissioning ceremony will be presided over by the Western Naval Command chief, Vice Admiral Sanjay J Singh. The frigate is expected to reach India's west coast in September and will form part of the navy's Mumbai-based Western Fleet, HT learns. Tamal is the eighth in the series of Krivak class frigates inducted from Russia over the past two decades, and will boost the country's maritime power in the Indian Ocean region. 'Tamal is the second ship of the Tushil class, which is the upgraded version of their predecessors, Talwar and Teg classes having three ships each. India as part of the broader contract for Tushil class is also building two similar frigates called the Triput class at Goa Shipyard Limited (GSL) with transfer of technology and design assistance from the Russian side,' the navy said in a statement. The ship's name, Tamal, symbolises the mythical sword used for combat by Indra - the King of the gods, the navy statement said, adding that the ship's mascot is inspired by the congruence of the 'Jambavant', the Immortal Bear King of Indian Mythology and the Russian National Animal - the Eurasian Brown Bear. With the conclusion of this series of ships, the Indian Navy will be operating ten warships with similar capabilities and commonality in equipment, weapon and sensor fit over four different classes, it added. 'Tamal punches well above its weight with a very high tonnage to firepower ratio, extended endurance, and a top speed in excess of 30 knots.' The 3,900-tonne Tamal is part of a $2.5-billion deal with Russia for four more Krivak/Talwar class stealth frigates for the Indian Navy, two of which have been constructed at the Yantar shipyard and the remaining two will be built at GSL. The first frigate under the deal, INS Tushil, was commissioned into the navy last December at the Yantar Shipyard and reached the country in February. It was commissioned in the presence of defence minister Rajnath Singh, who described the warship as a 'proud testament' to India's growing maritime might and a 'significant milestone' in the long-standing friendship between the two countries. Tushil and Tamal are upgraded Krivak III class frigates of Project 1135.6, and six such vessels are already in service --- three Talwar class ships, built at Baltic shipyard in St Petersburg, and three follow-on Teg class ships, built at the Yantar shipyard. These frigates have an indigenous content of around 26%, double that of the previous Teg-class frigates. This includes contributions from 33 firms including Bharat Electronics Limited, BrahMos Aerospace (an India-Russia joint venture), and Nova Integrated Systems (a fully owned subsidiary of Tata Advanced Systems Limited). The new frigates are armed with a range of advanced weapons, including the BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles, Shtil surface-to-air missiles with enhanced range, upgraded medium-range anti-air and surface guns, optically controlled close-range rapid fire gun system, torpedoes and rockets.

Delhi govt plans to revamp GTB memorial as key tourist attraction
New Delhi: Delhi govt has decided to revamp Guru Teg Bahadur Memorial, located near the Singhu border on GT Road, and develop it into a tourist attraction. Officials said Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation had initiated the process to engage a consultant to conceptualise, design and create a light and sound show, while the repair and beautification of the memorial had already started. According to them, tourism minister Kapil Mishra and environment minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa visited the memorial along with a team of officials in April and found it in a state of neglect. Mishra had said the place deserved to be a cultural and spiritual beacon and would soon be revamped to include laser shows, cultural performances and guided heritage tours, while visitor facilities would be upgraded to make it a must-visit destination for devotees and tourists alike. A govt official mentioned that the show would feature vibrant visuals and animations, making it a unique and memorable event. "The consultant is expected to give particular attention to the life of Guru Teg Bahadur. The design should preferably be energy efficient, using traditional materials, natural light, etc. The laser-controlled sound and light show has been proposed to be based on the life of Guru Teg Bahadur, 'Hind Ki Chadar'," said an official. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Spanning 11.87 acres, the memorial is dedicated to the supreme sacrifice of the ninth guru of Sikhism. The complex features a 24-metre-high central pylon symbolising his spiritual strength, flanked by three C-shaped arches representing his followers, and 10 monoliths inscribed with the teachings of the 10 Sikh gurus. Officials said the light and sound show was once a popular attraction at the site, but was non-functional for several years. "We now intend to develop it in a manner that allows tourists and pilgrims from Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu and Kashmir to visit and learn about the life and sacrifices of Guru Teg Bahadur," said an official.
