Another enlightening interview from Mr. Shiv Aroor. SSS is located close to my house in Bangalore. My late father-in-law used to supply precision parts to this company. I had the privilege and opportunity to visit the facility, I found the company professionally run. As far as I can remember they never delayed on payments as well. Now coming to the interview, I am really proud that Indian companies are embarking to make quality indigenous weaponry for our armed forces. However, the govt has a lot to do to enable the private companies to operate freely and with minimum govt intervention. Several reforms are still pending to enable this process. the much vaunted Strategic Partnership model has gone into a limbo. Unless and until the govt brings in these radical reforms fearlessly without fear of electoral impact, until this happens I fear nothing will come to fruit!
What a wonderfully well put statement, "... there is NO free trade in defence." Countries always subsidize their private industries to empower the said country's defence, there is no capitalism even in the most capitalistic country, when the defence of a nation is on the line. Is the F22 freely sold? Are critical tech in submarines and turbofan engines freely sold? India too has to do the same and if the import lobby dhandebaaz, political and army bureaucrats aren't going to listen, the government shall force a self imposed import ban to force them. There's a bureaucracy in the army as well, and in some senses they are as bad as the politicians. Fortunately for us, a section of the army is fighting against this and so is a section of the polity fighting against the old guard. The list was made in accordance with the army. And even if this list isn't tough enough, it has set a precedent for "future lists" and foreign intelligence agencies and companies and India's unpatriotic arms dealers better realise, your gravy train, is done.
If army isn't interested in buying from them then they should seriously push their product to export market in order to prove their product and if that happens then army will be forced to buy rifles from them.
@rakesh barman I totally agree with you but still there are many countries who don't have well developed military complex. And if we can provide cost benefit ratio to these countries then I guarantee you there will be many takers.
@rakesh barman arre bhai. It means what you are selling to the world, you must first use it yourself. Why would some buy an equipment which that country itself is reluctant to use. Except if you are Pakistan
Unless you carry out the tests expeditiously, no matter how stringent they are, you will never know how good it is. In Indian Public's eyes Defence establishment, including, MOD, is guilty of malicious neglect. And onus lies on them to put their act together and come out clean that they are not favouring the import lobbyists.
We're hellbent in destroying local defence industries. OFB Excalibur 7.62mm was rejected for having high recoil. Now Sig Sauer was tested with a 6 foot tall soldier firing the shots having exact same recoil and everybody is super happy. I can understand that there is a wound on the finger. But that doesn't mean that we cut the finger off and import a new finger. It can be treated with medicine and time. But import lobbyists won't allow that.
The burden is on private companies to prove themselves in a healthy and free capitalist economy. The government is the customer and they should not be obliged to give any favoritism to any source. When SSSD shows them the products and proves their worth in fair trials within given schedules then they can be considered. SSSD were too late to market to make the trials this time, that is not the customer's fault. They can certainly try to prove themselves now but the burden of proof is on them.
@@stupidburp It is never too late when it comes to a country relying "desperately on foreign countries" for their small arms. So, this private player is coming at the right time especially when arms import ban is placed.
@@Dharmicaction Import should be only for the technology which is not locally available. Rest everything should be home made. Japan and S Korea applies same principle.
SSS , I love to hear that you are developing world class fire arm weapons . Request you and bless you to make Best rifles than America and Kalashnikov... Jaihind 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
listening to this conversation is so heartening. The mind and plan of the company seems in place of creating an ecosystem to cater to the needs of the armed forces. I hope the armed forces and MOD are paying heed to these smart players.
Always a great pleasure to listen to Shiv Aroor, and thanks for bringing in Vivek Krishnan of SSS Defence. I am convinced that Indian Defence Forces ought to give opportunity to this company as soon as possible.
SSS Defense needs to make their presence on Social Media TH-cam, Twitter, Facebook to show their product which can put pressure on Govt Babus to consider it before ordering foreign products
In regards to rationalizing ammunition calibers, I would strongly urge considering 6.5 Grendel for a standard service rifle and 6.5 Creedmoor for a long range marksman rifle. The difference between these is the size of the case, the amount of powder, the recoil, the weight, and the cost. 6.5 Grendel is ideal for India in my view because of the good performance at long range with low wind drift and high retained energy. It also has a case that is is very close to the case of the 7.62x39 that is already produced locally and in service. The specific dimensions of this round make it particulary easy to adap rifles designs that use 5.56x45 or 7.62x39 for 6.5 Grendel instead. This would be a very useful caliber for mountain warfare where the engagement ranges are often long and the wind is often strong. 6.5 Creedmoor is useful for battle rifles and designated marksman rifles that would typically use 7.62x51. The advantage of the 6.5C round is better retained energy and accuracy at extreme ranges and reduced recoil. The recoil is typically about 30% less which allows for faster follow up shots in semiautomatic mode and better control in burst or full auto modes. That reduced recoil also makes it less tiring to use over a long period of time or in difficult conditions, such as in thin mountain air. The 6.5 Grendel is good for a service rifle beacuse it has superior ballistics to both 5.56x45 and 7.62x39 while keeping recoil, weight, and cost very low. It is also a slightly narrower case than the Creedmoor which can result in increased magazine capacity within the same magazine length. The specifications for the round are now freely available with no royalties. The only requirement is that the dimensions must precisely match the standard in order to use the Grendel name and there is no down side in doing so.
Excellent interview. SSS Rocks. Shiv Aroor's channel is an excellent platform. Hope the Minister of Defence, PM n the Army Chiefs do watch n get into indegenization at the earliest. These sort of firms are value addition
Excellent conversation between Shiv Aroor & Vivek Krishnan, so good to see Indian company working on defence innovations. Mr. Vivek is very through about his products.
Kudos to SSS defense! I hope we start appreciating our own companies and focus our energies on domestic innovation and production. Indian Army has to take a lead here and perhaps take note of what our Navy is doing in terms of domestic designing and manufacturing of their needs.
Excellent interview and its a proud moment to see Indian companies taking on foreign suppliers head on in making the fire arms for the Indian forces...
Good question. Why don't it manufacture quality civilian rifles and handguns too? As in permitted calibres such as in .22, 30 06, 315, .38 etc. This is how many of the top arms producers of the world came into being in the first place. Even quality air rifles for indian civilian consumption needs to be produced.
Educated entrepreneurs, committed to making India self-reliant...that's what our country needs. Mr Vivek Krishnan is one such person! All the best 🙏 🇮🇳
I have another perspective here, I feel Atmanirbhar doesn't necessarily means Indian brand, it means Made in India, which means foreigner firms can also make these weapons here with local partner. Now that FDI in defense is relaxed upto 74% which given foreigner firms readonable control over IPR it kind of opens door for Foreign origin firms.
Brilliant interview...it's nice to see Indian companies showing absolute belief in their products...here is to hoping SSS being a primary partner of the army in coming years
Very heartening to hear this. Bravo to the Team at SSS. I know you guys will do good, only hope is that you guys are given a fair deal and not experience bias in favour of PSU’s.
An immediate competition must be launched for testing SSS defence so that they can see their capabilities and i am sure they'll pass with flying colours
i just saw another company called NOMAD defence . man their weapons look effing futuristic . also its amazing how this industry is changing so fast after the private players came into the scene
Wow mr. Krishnan, you explained everything a soldier needs. We already have caatsa for s400 by US and there will be less spares in future and india will be thinking what the heck was i doing? The army has forgotten belgium and germany which listened to " NGO'S & HRC'S " and banned scar l,h & hkmp5 for para sf india!!
Vivek pointed out a very valid point that foreign companies effectively subsidize their home country's defence budget by exporting weapons. I hope some sense prevails to military planners on effectively utilising budget and they put an end to this piece meal approach of purchasing small arms. They have to start putting faith into our own private sector. Thanks Shiv for bringing Vivek on the channel. He shared lots of insights which were eye openers specially about the shortcomings of AK 203 platform.
Defense budgets are far more reliant on the civilian economy than on military related exports. Civilian markets drive economic growth and production capacity and government budgets. Military related sales are a tiny part of most economies and have little effect on budgets. What they can do however is help build strategic partnerships that are mutually beneficial by parties with some mutual interests. An import ban works against this and can even harm domestic industry compared to the potential from multinational partnerships.
About time India came up with its own indigenous firearms, it has the capability maybe now is the time to enter the domain. Vivek is a sharp guy. Shiv asking all the right questions.
All the Best SSS, we need to develop and encourage Indian companies. Army should not always look for Imports, they need to support Indian inovators and developers.
Defense Private sector will create big world market to indian firearms. This will also create employment and many skilled mechanical engg. Many Mech Engg are working for 10,20K.. Imagine same people get 1-2 lakhs because of the defense industry. That will be dream come true.. We have many skilled people but all are going to software only because only jobs available in India is software.. Good Job SSS Industry.. Hope many will join and create an enterprise..!!
SSS defence need to make a TH-cam channel where they can show the tests they do to their weapons or show off their qualities like the Kalashnikovs have done
@@aurodeeproy997 they are not yet completely tested so after testing is complete then it will be provided to special forces or CRPF in small numbers if quality control is perfect then it will be ordered in large numbers 👍
These weapons did not participate in field trials because they were not ready in time. We do not know if they will live up to expectations or not. Typically most new weapons manufacturers require several iterations before they make a product suitable for military use. The fact that they use the same P-72 code for several completely different systems suggests that the company is not really ready because this violates industry norms for clarity in differentiation. This is a kind of rookie mistake that does not give confidence in their products.
Enough of imports ..!! Time has come to support our own manufacturers !!! There are many Indian firms showing international quality standards . All the best SSS!
Incidentally the latest chinese QBZ191 is a very good rifle with high accracy, very little revoil, around 20k round service life, double expansion chambers, good balance, All in all an improved version of American AR15. Hope sss p72 rifles are as good if not better, all the best to sss defence
Most of the indians don't know CCD is Indian company. I think indian private defence manufacturers have to keep the names like tht. Well done sss defence.
You'll never hear one of those IOF babus taking with such knowledge and confidence. The IA had no choice but to go for foreign manufacturers because SSS Defense like enterprises didn't even exist until a few years ago. Hopefully, things will change from here on out.
Congratulations to the depth of your knowledge and Ur maturity in this very new field in our country....I hope your well deserved successes are coming your way
This Guy is very well informed. If he can talk so long, he has something in him. I think we can be sure, he'll soon be a top vendor of our armed forces
I have not heard anyone speak on firearms in particular, and on defence procurement, with the knowledge, clarity, detail and passion Vivek Krishnan does in his talk with Shiv Arpor! If what he manufactures is a quarter as accurate, as the directness with which he makes his points, if I were in charge of defence procurement I would be beating a path to his door. Rarely, have I felt so well...even overly informed as I do today. Wishing Vivek the very best in the defence of India and the a 66 year old's blessings for a great future🙏🇵🇾
World's best SMG/machine pistols ever made is FN P90 of 5.7×28mm with highest kinetic energy round as far as SMG is concerned. If SSS defence can make SMG like FN P90 with recoil reduction technique from kriss vector and magazine loading technique from FN P90 ,that would be best gun for law enforcement as they don't need much no. of assault rifles. 🍸

Hope SSS will get fair trial to showcase its technology n prove its worth. Nice n insightful conversation!!
Shiv you're doing funtastic Job. Keep it up.
much needed interview. Great vision.
Waiting for .338 lapua magnum machine guns and 14.5mm/20mm caliber anti material rifles like RT20 with desired accuracy and recoil
Too costly..it's not Sig..
Enough of imports ..!! Time has come to support our own manufacturers !!! There are many Indian firms showing international quality standards . All the best SSS!
Incidentally the latest chinese QBZ191 is a very good rifle with high accracy, very little revoil, around 20k round service life, double expansion chambers, good balance, All in all an improved version of American AR15.
Hope sss p72 rifles are as good if not better, all the best to sss defence
Most of the indians don't know CCD is Indian company. I think indian private defence manufacturers have to keep the names like tht. Well done sss defence.
Though delayed, it is great start. Kudos to SSS and its leadership team.
You'll never hear one of those IOF babus taking with such knowledge and confidence. The IA had no choice but to go for foreign manufacturers because SSS Defense like enterprises didn't even exist until a few years ago. Hopefully, things will change from here on out.
imagining Arnab doing this interview :D
Congratulations to the depth of your knowledge and Ur maturity in this very new field in our country....I hope your well deserved successes are coming your way
Nice one Mr Krishnan. keep it up. Hope you make a great indian company in days to come. The arms market is already a kurukshetra.
This Guy is very well informed. If he can talk so long, he has something in him. I think we can be sure, he'll soon be a top vendor of our armed forces
This is exactly why we need more private sector involvement.
I have not heard anyone speak on firearms in particular, and on defence procurement, with the knowledge, clarity, detail and passion Vivek Krishnan does in his talk with Shiv Arpor! If what he manufactures is a quarter as accurate, as the directness with which he makes his points, if I were in charge of defence procurement I would be beating a path to his door.
Rarely, have I felt so well...even overly informed as I do today. Wishing Vivek the very best in the defence of India and the a 66 year old's blessings for a great future🙏🇵🇾
Sorry "Aroor"... damn the autocorrect and knock of the unnecessary "the" in the 2nd last line.
Great news....we r proud of u as Indians.
World's best SMG/machine pistols ever made is FN P90 of 5.7×28mm with highest kinetic energy round as far as SMG is concerned. If SSS defence can make SMG like FN P90 with recoil reduction technique from kriss vector and magazine loading technique from FN P90 ,that would be best gun for law enforcement as they don't need much no. of assault rifles. 🍸
Hi, i am mechanical engineer 2019 pass out. I really want to work under such defense related company. Currently i am in IT industry successfully applying my knowledge and talent, but i want to contribute to defence sector plz guide me

On a personal note : Vivek thank you for making the time ... where simple people like me have the pleasure of listening to you guys.

Hi shiv its a very interesting,exciting and blunt interview by vivek. I will suggest you please do interviews with other sectors domestic private sector company ceos in regular interval not like once in a lifetime and ask them to be blunt like him , it will a create a great momentum and will forceMOD and defence forces to come out of import mindset and please tag your such interviews with the mod , ministers and forces
Congrats, you're doing a good job.
Pleasure listening and a lot of Satisfaction .
Very Good discussion!! I hope the Indian defence forces take a serious look at our private sector involved in manufacturing small arms and hope they aren't just set aside!! They need to be given a chance!!
Great conversation. I hope Indian defence agencies collaborate wid SSS Defence soon
SSS Defence should have its own youtube channel and upload amazing test videos for its popularity....
