''Tarkash'' belongs to the second flight ([[INS Teg|F45]], F50, [[INS Trikand|F51]]) of ''Talwar'' class 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. 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 ''Tarkash'' and the earlier flight of ''Talwar''-class ships ([[INS Talwar (F40)|F40]], [[INS Trishul (F43)|F43]], [[INS Tabar|F44]]) is the use of [[BrahMos]] missiles in place of the [[Klub-N]] missiles in the earlier ships.<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 | ''Tarkash'' belongs to the second flight ([[INS Teg|F45]], F50, [[INS Trikand|F51]]) of ''Talwar'' class of guided missile frigates.
