The Shtil-1 air defence system will replace the 9K-90 Uragan, with Fregat M2EM radar replacing the Fregat-MAE. The Kite Screech fire control system of the AK-100 is being replaced by BEL Lynx U2. The electronics warfare system will be upgraded to Ellora Mk II, with Kavach decoy launchers.[6][7] Atlas Elektronik ACTAS towed-array sonar will also be installed.[8] The BrahMos integration was validated with a test firing on 19 April 2022.[9]
