The '''''Rajput''-class''' [[guided-missile destroyer]]s built for the [[Indian Navy]] are modified versions of [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] {{sclass2-|Kashin|destroyer|1}}s. They are also known as Kashin-II class. The ships were built in the former Soviet Union after considerable Indian design modifications to the Kashin design. These included the replacement of the [[helicopter pad]] in the original design with a flight elevator, as well as major changes to the electronics and combat systems. Five units were built for export to India in the 1980s. All units are currently attached to the [[Eastern Naval Command]].

==Service history==
The ''Rajput'' class inherited their [[Anti-aircraft warfare|anti-aircraft]] and [[anti-submarine warfare]] roles for [[Aircraft carrier battle group|aircraft carrier task-force]] defense against submarines, low-flying aircraft, and cruise missiles from the Kashin class.
They were the first ships in the Indian Navy to deploy the [[BrahMos]] supersonic cruise missile systems. The systems were deployed during a mid-life refit of the ships. The missile system has four missiles in inclined bow mounted launchers replacing two [[P-15 Termit|SS-N-2D Styx AShM]] launchers in {{INS|Rajput|D51|6}} and eight cell VLS system replacing aft [[S-125 Neva/Pechora#Naval version|S-125M]] (NATO: SA-N-1) [[Surface to air missile|SAM]] launcher in {{INS|Ranvir|D54|6}} and {{INS|Ranvijay|D55|6}}.<ref>[http://www.india-defence.com/reports-3571 Indian Navy: INS ''Rajput'', 8 Other Warships To Deploy Brahmos Cruise Missiles]</ref> ''Ranvijay'' was deployed with an updated vertical launcher for the BrahMos missile.<ref>[http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?ID=IEO20071119144228&Page=O&Headline=BrahMos+all+set+to+cruise+into+Kerala&Title=Thiruvananthapuram&Topic=0 BrahMos all set to cruise into Kerala] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071124094529/http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?ID=IEO20071119144228&Page=O&Headline=BrahMos+all+set+to+cruise+into+Kerala&Title=Thiruvananthapuram&Topic=0 |date=2007-11-24 }}</ref> The Indian Navy is planning to upgrade the propulsion of the ''Rajput''-class ships with indigenously developed [[Gas Turbine Research Establishment#Kaveri Marine Gas Turbine (KMGT)|Kaveri Marine Gas Turbine (KMGT)]] engine.
