On 27^th April at the solemn ceremony Shipyard “Yantar” (member of United Shipbuilding Corporation )  has handed over Frigate the «Teg» («Sabre») to the Customer – Headquarters of Indian Navy. Delivery-Acceptance Act  was signed by the Head of Naval Department of  JSC «Rosoboronexport» Oleg Azizov and the Commanding Officer  of Indian crew Capt.  Rakesh  Kumar Dahiya. Right after it the Russian flag, under which the ship successfully passed all trials in Baltic sea, was lowered and flag of the Republic of India was hoisted. Thus the «Teg» was added to the armory of  Indian Navy.

Solemn ceremony of laying the keel of Frigate the “Admiral Makarov” took place at 16.00 on 29 February 2012  in Kaliningrad, at Shipyard «Yantar» (a member of JSC United Shipbuilding Corporation). It’s the third ship of the series, intended for Russian Navy and being under construction at Kaliningrad shipyard since 2010.                                   In accordance with two Contracts signed with the Ministry of Defense of RF Shipyard «Yantar» will construct six patrol ships (frigates) of project 11356 developed by JSC «Severnoye Design Bureau».

Trials, completed with the assistance of the Indian crew on 1 & 2. February, can be considered as the  all-important event  for Indian frigate the «Teg» («Sabre»). Exactly  these two days were devoted to firing, which have completed the trials of the first  of three ships pr. 11356 for Indian Navy.

On the 1-st of February in the Baltic sea the crew of the ship together with members of future Indian crew carried out missile-artillery firing  and put an end to sea trials of the Frigate.

The Republic of India has become rather more close to Kaliningrad region in July 2005 when Shipyard Yantar had signed a contract for construction of three Frigates for Indian Navy. Special importance of this international agreement lies in the fact of serial nature of the Indian order. The last Frigate of this series was laid down in July of the current year and the first one will be launched by Shipyard “Yantar” in 2011. Kaliningrad shipbuilders approached to this serial order with all due responsibility. The buyer’s Warship Overseeing Team, working at Shipyard since December 2007, confirms high quality of construction.
