Navy gets 5th scorpene-class submarine, Vagir

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: The Indian Navy on Tuesday received the delivery of fifth scorpene-class submarine Vagir, which is equipped with long-range guided torpedoes as well as anti-ship missiles. Vagir has the ability to carry out multifarious missions typically undertaken by any modern submarine, which include anti-surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, intelligence gathering, mine laying and area surveillance. Earlier in November 2021, the Indian Navy had commissioned a fourth scorpene-class submarine, INS Vela, which formed part of the Western Naval Command’s submarine fleet. Construction of these submarines in an Indian yard is another step towards “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” and enhances self-confidence in this field, a notable achievement is that this is the third submarine delivered to the Indian Navy in a span of 24 months," said the Indian Navy.
