<span style="color: #222222;">Vagsheer, the last of the six submarines of Project 75, is ready for launch on 20th of April. The Scorpene class submarine is a diesel-electric attack submarine built by Mumbai's Mazgaon Dock ship builders with French collaboration. The state-of-the-art technology used in Scorpene-class has superior stealth features such as advanced acoustic silencing techniques, low radiated noise levels and ability to launch crippling attacks with precision-guided weapons on board.<br />'' <br />'' AIR correspondent reports that this submarine can attack through launching the torpedoes and anti-ship missiles while underwater or on the surface. This will enhance Indian Navy's capacity to address the threats both above and under water. Post-launch Vagsheer will undergo sea trials. Four submarines of scorpene class- INS Kalvari, INS Khanderi, INS Karanj and  INS Vela have already been commissioned while the fifth submarine Vagir is still undergoing sea trials.<br />''<br />''The first two submarines – INS Kalvari and INS Khanderi – were commissioned on September 21, 2017 and September 19, 2019. Despite enormous challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-21, INS Karanj and INS Vela were commissioned in one calendar year in 2021 in the month of February and November respectively.</span>
