Facebook it looks like you guys are particularly targeting me, because your system keeps pointing out about a 4 month old post of mine, which has been cleared by your own review system multiple times, yet again and again I keep facing this harassment of suspension, restrictions and monetization withheld.
Is this your support Facebook for Creators and way of promoting your platform.
Facebook Community really is one of the worst one's when it comes to solving creators issues.

I run a news platform, that too related to the defence sector, it needs me to report certain facts which no civilian can, including information about terrorist attacks, if you don't want that on your platform let us know that clearly.

Thank you Meta

♦️Vivek Krishnan, CEO of SSS Defence, has warned that India’s overdependence on foreign superpowers for defence supply chains leaves the nation strategically vulnerable during geopolitical crises.

🔹As a prominent voice in India's private aerospace and defence sector, Krishnan advocates shifting from a "Make in India" assembly-line mindset to an "Own in India" intellectual property model.
🔸He argues that true national security cannot be achieved by relying on global partners who tightly guard their advanced technologies.

🛑The Core Arguments

💠The Illusion of Foreign Technology Transfer:
🔸 Foreign global firms rarely part with their most sensitive "gold box" technologies, keeping India dependent on their tech lifelines.

💠Vulnerability in Crisis:
🔸Real-world conflicts demonstrate that relying on foreign supply chains leaves a nation exposed to sudden geopolitical shifts, sanctions, and supply cutoffs.

💠The "Make" vs. "Own" Paradox:
🔸 Merely assembling products locally does not amount to self-reliance. True strategic autonomy comes from designing, engineering, and owning the underlying intellectual property (IP).

💠Domestic Capability Misconceptions:
🔸Domestic private defence companies are often subjected to rigid local scrutiny regarding quality, yet the military frequently awards large procurement contracts to foreign vendors without similar comparative domestic testing.

🔲Structural Bottlenecks Identified

▪️According to leadership insights from SSS Defence, building a robust domestic military-industrial complex requires overcoming deep-rooted systemic barriers:

💠Short-Term Investment Bias:
🔸Developing high-end defense systems like aircraft engines has a multi-decade gestation period, requiring the state to act as a long-term risk investor.

💠The "Cheap India" Myth:
🔸Treating defense manufacturing like a low-cost, mass-market commodity sector prevents deep-tech innovation.

💠Supply Chain Disconnection:
🔸While SSS Defence achieves a nearly 100% indigenous local supply chain for raw materials like steel and springs for its fi****ms, basic chemical subcomponents like am******on propellant remain economically unviable to produce domestically due to current market conditions.

🟣Path to Strategic Autonomy

🔸To counter this overdependence, industry leaders suggest shifting the national procurement paradigm from a buyer-seller relationship toward a model of "Trusted Interdependence".
🔹 India can leverage its massive market size to build collaborative supply chains with foreign entities, while aggressively forcing open access to system controls, IP rights, and component localization.

कारगिल विजय दिवस

SSS Defence has officially begun exporting its indigenously developed .338 Lapua Magnum calibre sniper ri**es to the Armenian Army, marking the first-time India has exported sniper ri**es to a foreign nation.

The Armenian military has selected the Indian-manufactured r***e as its mainstay precision platform, intending to phase out and completely retire its aging Soviet-era Dragunov SVD sniper ri**es.

Key Highlights of the Strategic Deal

The Weapon:
The export centers on the Saber .338 Lapua Magnum sniper r***e, designed for extreme long-range precision targeting at distances of 1,500 metres and beyond.

Am******on Contracts:
Alongside the fi****ms, the Bengaluru-based manufacturer secured separate contracts worth approximately USD 50 million to supply specialized am******on to multiple friendly countries.

Indigenization:
Every component of the system—including the high-performance barrel, highly efficient muzzle brake, sound suppressor, and the two-stage trigger—was designed and built entirely in India.

Production Scaling and Growth Strategy
As part of its "Born in Bharat" initiative, SSS Defence is shifting its focus toward building a global manufacturing and exporting hub.

The private small-arms manufacturer is rapidly accelerating its infrastructure to support high-volume outputs:

The Next Target:
The company is aiming to scale up its aggregate capacity to reach a target of 100,000 weapons produced next year.

Infrastructure Upgrades:
Production relies heavily on an expanding 80,000 square foot facility located in the industrial belt near Bengaluru.

Broader Portfolio:
Beyond sniper systems like the Saber .338 and Viper .308, the company is aggressively scaling testing and output for its 7.62x39mm assault ri**es, Close Quarter Battle (CQB) carbines, and the Tyto anti-drone sh***un.

This milestone further cements Armenia's position as a premier destination for Indian military hardware.
It adds to Armenia's existing multi-billion dollar inventory of Indian defense solutions, which includes the Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launchers and the Akash-1S air defense systems.

MKU Limited unveiled its new Anti-Drone Net at Eurosatory 2026 to stop first-person view (FPV) drones and loitering mu*****ns.

The system uses physical entanglement to block high and low altitude aerial threats.

Key Features of the Anti-Drone Net

Physical Entanglement:
Catches and stops drones by tangling their rotors.

Mesh Sizes:
Offered in 25x25 mm and 40x40 mm grid options.

Altitude Coverage:
Designed to defend against low and high altitude attacks.

Layered Protection:
Works alongside MKU's multi-spectral camouflage and vehicle armor systems.

Did India abandon its own indigenous fighter aircraft program? Bharat Karnad revisits the story of the HF-24 Marut and its proposed successors, arguing that India missed a historic opportunity to build a world-class indigenous combat aircraft.

He also shares why he believes key decisions within the system set back India’s aerospace ambitions by decades. Did India sacrifice self-reliance in military aviation too early?
