INS Rana is a Rajput-class destroyer in active service with the Indian Navy. She was commissioned on 28 June 1982.[2]
She was the only ship of her class which was not upgraded like the other two ships, which had been upgraded with Israeli Barak 1 missiles and EL/M-2238 STAR radars. An upgrade in 2022 armed her with new short range SAM VL-SRSAM in 8 × 2 cell VLS configuration replacing one S-125 Neva/Pechora launcher in the Aft. It was also seen with 4 panels of AESA radar as fire-control radar.[3]
