TSAMTO, August 29. All frigates of Project 11356 purchased in Russia will be armed with Brahmos missiles, Alexander Maksichev, co-director of BrahMos Aerospace from the Russian side, said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

The construction of two ships for India in the Russian Federation will be completed in 2022-2023.
Earlier, Russia supplied India with a series of six frigates project 11356, the first three were armed with Club-N missile systems.
"All frigates of Project 11356 purchased in Russia are armed with our missiles. In particular, this applies to frigates under construction," RIA Novosti quotes A. Maksichev.
According to him, the last two frigates are also equipped with Brahmos missiles.
"We have already done it. We supply a complex, the ship cannot be handed over without installing all the equipment. The acceptance tests must be carried out with confirmation of the operability of the complex. BrahMos Aerospace has delivered launchers and shipboard firing control equipment for two frigates to Kaliningrad," A. Maksichev said.
