The Indian Navy has commissioned two new stealth frigates equipped with supersonic BrahMos missiles.

The indigenously-built INS Udaygiri and INS Himgiri were commissioned on Tuesday by Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh at the Eastern Naval Command base in Visakhapatnam.

“Equipped with next-generation weapons and systems, the ships will enhance the navy’s ability to safeguard national interests across a full spectrum of maritime missions,” Singh said. “These frigates will reinforce its role as first responder and preferred security partner in the Indian Ocean region.”

The new warships are part of the Nilgiri-class of stealth guided missile frigates. They have features such as improved stealth capabilities, advanced surveillance radars, electronic warfare suites, and rapid-fire gun systems, according to the Indian Defense Ministry.
