'''INS ''Trikand'' (F51)''' is a {{sclass|Talwar|frigate}} of the [[Indian Navy]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.indiannavy.nic.in/naval-fleet/ships?page=0%2C2 | title=Surface Ships – Frigates | publisher=[[Indian Navy]]}}</ref> She is the third and final ship of the second batch of ''Talwar''-class frigates ordered by the Indian Navy. She was built by the [[Yantar shipyard]] in [[Kaliningrad]], [[Russia]]. She was commissioned to Indian Navy service on 29 June 2013.

==Design==
{{Main|Talwar-class frigate}}

''Trikand'' belongs to the {{sclass|Talwar|frigate|4}} of guided missile frigates. These are modified [[Krivak-class frigate|Krivak III-class]] frigates built by Russia. These ships use stealth technologies and a special hull design to ensure a reduced radar cross section.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.indiannavy.nic.in/content/shivalik-class-talwar-class-kamorta-class | title =Shivalik Class, Talwar Class, Kamorta Class | publisher = [[Indian Navy]] | location = [[New Delhi]] | access-date =31 July 2021 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url =http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/NAVY/ships/active/180-talwar-class.html | title =Talwar (Krivak III) Class | website =Bharat Rakshak | access-date =31 July 2021}}</ref> Much of the equipment on the ship is Russian-made, but a significant number of systems of Indian origin have also been incorporated. The main difference between the second batch and the first three ''Talwar''-class ships is the use of [[BrahMos]] missiles in place of the [[Klub-N]] missiles in the earlier ships. She is the last of the three frigates built in Russia as a follow-up order to the first batch of Talwar-class frigates.<ref name="ria">{{cite web|url=http://en.rian.ru/russia/20091127/157012714.html |title=Russia floats out first frigate for Indian Navy |publisher=[[RIA Novosti]] |date=27 November 2009 |access-date=6 April 2011}}</ref>
