Historical profile
Developed in Bangalore by SSS Defence and presented in 2021, the P-72 uses a modular AICS-compatible chassis with folding stock, three-chamber muzzle brake and match-grade barrel.
Adopted by Indian special forces (NSG, Para SF) and exported to a few Southeast Asian nations, it is the first private Indian high-end sniper.
