History
The Sukanya class ships are capable of carrying ballistic missiles. The Dhanush SRBM (Prithvi-III) is fitted on INS Survarna and INS Subhadra. The missile is capable of carrying conventional and nuclear warheads. The missile stabilization platform enables the ship to fire the missiles even during stormy conditions at sea.

The INS Sarayu was sold to Sri Lanka and was renamed as SLNS Sayura. She was recently equipped with Yingi Y-82 anti-ship missiles and surface to air missiles. Currently she serves as the flagship of the Sri Lanka Navy and obtained several remarkable naval victories against the naval branch (Sea Tigers) of Tamil Tiger rebels.
