    INS Vagir: Boost for Indian Navy as 5th kalvari class submarine INS Vagir commissioned; Things to know

    INS Vagir (S25) is the fifth of the six Kalvari-class diesel-electric attack submarines commissioned for the Indian Navy.
    Vagir's weapons package include sufficient wire guided torpedoes and sub-surface to surface missiles to neutralise a large enemy fleet.
    The four Kalvari-class submarines commissioned earlier are: INS Kalvari, INS Khanderi, INS Karanj and INS Vela.
    "It's a lethal platform with a formidable weapon package & state of the art stealth technology," he said.
    The Navy is on track to be a fully "atmanirbhar" force by 2047, he added.
    He lauded Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited that is building the Kalveri class submarines for helping the Navy make a transition from "buyers" to "builders.
