Kora class corvette

Kora Class Corvettes intended to replace the ageing Petya II class corvettes of Indian Navy. The first two were ordered in April 1990 and latter two in October 1994. The Type 25A vessels were to be fitted with the indigenous Trishul SAM, marking the entry of the missile into naval service. However these vessels have no evidence of the missile on board and instead use shoulder-launched SAMs. INS Kirch was laid down in 1992 at GRSE and then towed to Mazagon Docks in 1996. She cost the exchequer approximately 240 crores.
