Russia-India Agreement: Construction of 4 Frigates with Guided Missiles Despite Ukraine War

In total, the Russian Federation agreement with India provides for the construction of 4 frigates with guided missiles.

The Russian Federation may replenish its navy after losses as a result of the war in Ukraine with two ships from India. Deliveries should take place under the agreement that India concluded with Russia back in 2018

About it reports Bloomberg.

According to the publication, in total, the agreement provides for the construction of 4 frigates with guided missiles with stealth functions. Deliveries are two years behind schedule due to the war in Ukraine.

“One ship will likely be delivered in September 2024, and the other early next year,” Bloomberg writes.

Two other ships are being built in India in cooperation with Russia, but are also behind schedule due to supply chain problems.

The frigates were to use Ukrainian-made gas turbines. Trade between Ukraine and Russia stopped in 2014, so India bought them through a third country.

“India and Russia, also strategic partners, were able to bypass the payment problem,” writes Bloomberg.

Let us recall that during the period of a full-scale war, Ukraine sank or disabled a third of all Russian warships in the Black Sea. This dealt a strong blow to the military potential of the aggressor country.
