Meet INS Vagir – Indian Navy’s state-of-art stealth submarine.

It can kill-hit enemy targets quietly and silently without coming to know from where torpedoes or missile are fired upon them.

There are four other such stealth submarines with Indian navy in Kalvari class .

Indian Navy’s fifth stealth Scorpene class Submarine INS Vagir was commissioned into the Indian Navy earlier this year on 23rd January 2023 at the Naval Dockyard Mumbai.

Six Scorpene Class submarines are being built in India by the Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) Mumbai, under collaboration with M/s Naval Group, France.

INS Vagir would form part of the Western Naval Command’s Submarine fleet and would be another potent part of the Command’s arsenal.

Vagir was launched on 12 Nov 20, under Project 75 (P75) and was delivered to Indian Navy on 20 Dec 22 post completion of sea trials.

Vagir has the distinction of having the lowest build time among all indigenously manufactured submarines till date.
