Stealth warship INS Sahyadri commissioned in naval ranks | |
Defence Minster AK Antony on Saturday commissioned 'INS 'Sahyadri',
a stealth warship armed with an array of missiles, at the Naval dockyard here.
`INS Sahyadri' was last in the series of stealth warships after `INS Shivalik'
and `INS Satpura'. Addressing mediapersons, Navy Chief Admiral Nirmal Verma, said
that INS Sahyadri would add power to submarine warfare capabilities of the Navy.
“The induction of 'Sahyadri' was a portal weapon package with considerably enhanced
warfare capability of the navy and to contribute towards ensuring our maritime
security concerns,” Admiral Verma said. INS Sahyadri is the last warship of `Project-17'
undertaken by the Navy, which is equipped with advanced surface and air missiles
of Russian, European and Israeli origin and can carry two helicopters onboard.
