INS Tabar : Indian Pirate Sinking Warship : Desktop Wallpaper

On November 11, 2008 MV Jag Arnav, a 38,265-tonne bulk carrier owned by the Mumbai-based Great Eastern Shipping Company, raised an alarm when pirates tried to board the ship.
INS Tabar, which was about 25 nautical miles away at the time of the distress call, rushed in a Chetak helicopter carrying a team of MARCOS (Indian Navy Marine Commandos) to the scene and successfully thwarted the hijack attempt.
The incident took place 60 nautical miles from the Gulf of Aden.
The ship also foiled an attempt by pirates to board the MV Timaha, a Saudi Arabian registered cargo ship. On November 19, it was reported that Tabar had engaged and sunk a pirate "mother ship" which had responded to a request to stop with gunfire.
The Talwar class is a new class of frigates built for the Indian Navy. The Talwar class guided missile frigates, also known as the Type 1135.6, are modified Krivak III class frigates from Russia. The Talwar Class has a displacement of 4,000 tons and speed of 30 knots and is capable of accomplishing a wide scale of missions, primarily, finding and eliminating enemy submarines and large surface ships.
Due to the use of stealth technologies and a special hull design, the resulting frigate features reduced radar cross section (RCS) as well as electromagnetic, acoustic and infrared signatures. Equipped with Russian-made sensors and weapon systems, the Talwar class frigates are modern ships with balanced capabilities capable of countering modern Western naval assets. The Talwar Class shows Indo-Russian joint production capabilities as the ships of the Class have have quite a few systems of Indian origin and manufacture, including their anti-submarine sensor (sonar) suite and complete communication equipment.
