US approves sale of Apache attack choppers to India

美国批准向印度出售阿帕奇攻击直升机

WASHINGTON: The United States government has approved a deal to sell the Indian military six AH-64E Apache attack helicopters for $930 million, the State Department said on Tuesday.

华盛顿：美国国务院周二表示，美国政府已批准一项协议，以9.3亿美元的价格向印度军方出售军用6架AH-64E型阿帕奇直升机。

The agreement has been passed to the US Congress for approval, but if no US lawmaker raises an objection the contract is expected to go ahead.

该协议已提交美国国会批准，如果没有美国议员提出异议，预计该合约将继续执行。

Boeing and Indian partner Tata have begun to produce Apache fuselages at a plant in India, but Tuesday's approval concerns a direct sale of finished products from US manufacturers.

波音和印度合作伙伴塔塔已开始在印度的一家工厂生产阿帕奇的机身，但周二的批准将由美国制造商直接销售成品。

The lead contractors are US arms, aviations and engineering giants Lockheed Martin, General Electric and Raytheon.

主要承包商有美国武器、航空和工程巨头洛克希德·马丁、通用电气和雷神公司。

In addition to aircraft, the contract includes night vision sensors, GPS guidance and hundreds of Hellfire anti-armor and Stinger air-to-air missiles.

除了飞机，合同还包括夜视传感器、GPS制导、数百枚地狱之火反装甲导弹和毒刺空对空导弹。

"This support for the AH-64E will provide an increase in India's defensive capability to counter ground-armored threats and modernize its armed forces," the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency said, in a statement.

美国国防安全合作署在一份声明中表示:“AH-64E战斗机将增强印度抵御地面装甲威胁、实现武装力量防御能力的现代化。”

"India will have no difficulty absorbing the helicopters and support equipment into its armed forces. The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region."

“印度将毫不费力地将直升机和支援设备纳入其武装部队。拟议出售这种设备和支援不会改变该区域的基本军事平衡。”

到目前为止，印度甚至连一架装备了现代技术的攻击型直升机都没有。这足以理解团结进步联盟之前都干了什么……还有一些拦路虎毫无理由地支持拉胡尔。
