Designed in the 1970s, these vessels are known for their versatility and advanced technology, including anti-submarine warfare capabilities. They typically feature a sleek design and are equipped with various weapon systems, including missiles and torpedoes. These frigates were built in two main variants: the Batch 1 and Batch 2.
