History
Design and characteristics
The displacement of both the vessels is 2,300 tonnes. They are
designed to carry out a variety of maritime operations and are able to
transport both a helicopter and a unmanned aerial vehicle. They can
also carry two high-speed rigid-hulled inflatable boats of 11.5 meters
:
(38 ft) and 6.5 meters (21 ft) simultaneously. In addition to that, they
are designed to accommodate two twenty-foot equivalent units for
special mission-based operations.[13]
The vessels of the second batch have a length of 98 meters (322 ft),
a beam of 14.4 meters (47 ft) and a draft of 4 meters (13 ft).[14] The
displacement of both vessels is approximately 2600 tonnes.[7]
Besides being larger than the corvettes of the first batch, the second
batch corvettes are also more heavily armed.[15]
