Explanation

The Indian Navy commissioned its fifth Kalvari-class (Scorpene-class) submarine, INS Vagir, on January 23, 2023, at the Naval Dockyard in Mumbai. Built by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) in collaboration with France's Naval Group under Project 75, it is nicknamed the "Sand Shark" after a deadly deep-sea predator. The submarine is equipped with advanced stealth features, long-range guided torpedoes, and anti-ship missiles.
