MDL has delivered three Project-75 submarines in 24 months and the commencement of sorties for the sixth submarine is a significant milestone. The submarine will now undergo ‘intense’ trials of all its systems at sea, including propulsion, weapons, and sensors.

Scorpene-Class Submarines

Scorpene-Class Submarines are the State of Art technology which allows super stealth features like advanced acoustic, absorption techniques, low radiated noise levels, the ability to launch crippling attacks using precision-guided missiles and a hydro-dynamically optimized shape. Accordingly, INS Vagsheer is designed to operate in every environment, that is in all theatres of operation displaying interoperability with other components of NTF (Naval Task Force). It is a potent platform, marking a transformational shift in submarine operations. With the launch of Vagsheer, India further cements its position as a Submarine-Building Nation and MDL has more than lived up to its reputation as Warship and Submarine Builder to the Nation.
