Admiral Grigorovich stealth-guided missile frigates are under construction in Russia but are powered by Ukrainian engines. The ongoing war had put India in a Catch-22 situation and delayed the two remaining ships in the class.

The situation will be remedied soon as Kalyani Strategic Systems (KSSL) has acquired a majority stake in the Indian arm of Ukrainian Zorya Mashproekt. The Ukrainian firm manufactures the engines for the Admiral Grigorovich class frigates, among other things.

The 3,620-ton Admiral Grigorovich-class is an upgraded variant of the six Talwar-class frigates that Russia built for the Indian Navy between 2003 and 2013.
