NEW DELHI: An Indian defence spokesman says India is close to finalizing a deal to buy 126 Rafale fighter planes for about 12 billion euros ($15 billion). It would be France's first foreign sale of the combat-tested planes.
France and French manufacturer Dassault Aviation have been trying for years to sell the jets abroad.
印度国防部一位发言人表示，印度即将敲定一项协议，以120亿欧元（150亿美元）购买126架法国阵风战斗机。这将是法国这款经过考验的战斗机首次外销。
多年以来，法国达索公司一直竭力把该战斗机销到海外
French defence minister Jean-Yves Le Drian is currently visiting India.

我敢打赌，这是我们最后一次进口战机。下一个订单会被印度国防研究发展（DRDO）组织拿走。DRDO加油

We need to be able to make, maintain and upgrade top of the line jet fighters in a cost effective way otherwise we will not be a match for the PAF, leave alone the Air Force. Why because supplies Pakistan and both are our envious neighbours. It is very likely that with stolen technology, may edge out even the US before long.
我们得有以低成本的方式制造、维护和升级先进战机的能力，否则会比不过巴基斯坦空军，更别提空军了。为什么？因为向巴基斯坦供应武器，两国都是招我们嫉妒的邻国。不久以后，很可能凭借偷来的技术，把美国也排挤掉。

The biggest defense deal of recent times. 126 aircrafts for Euro 12 billion looks too costly.
最近时期最大一笔国防交易。126架战机要120亿欧元，太贵了
