Like Washington and Moscow, Delhi too to get missile shield

和华盛顿和莫斯科一样，德里也拥有了导弹防御系统

NEW DELHI: Bit by bit, India is working towards making its national Capital more impregnable against military or 9/11-like terror attacks from aircraft, missiles and drones. The measures underway include getting a new missile shield to replace older air defence systems, reconfiguring the VIP no-fly zone and refining the protocol to shoot down rogue planes.

新德里：印度正在一步步努力使其首都变得更加固若金汤，以抵御来自飞机、导弹和无人机的军事或类似911那样的恐怖袭击。印度目前正在采取的措施包括：建立一个新的导弹防御系统，以取代旧的防空系统，重新配置VIP禁飞区，并完善该协议以击落流氓飞机。

Sources say the defence acquisitions council (DAC), chaired by defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman, has approved the "acceptance of necessity (AoN) for the acquisition of the National Advanced Surface to Air Missile System-II (NASAMS-II) worth around $1 billion from the US.

有消息称，由国防部长西塔拉曼担任主席的国防采购委员会已经批准“购买美国价值约10亿美元的国家先进地空导弹系统”。

Simultaneously, as part of the overall Delhi Area Air Defence Plan, work is on to further realign the "VIP-89 area" over New Delhi, which includes Rashtrapati Bhawan, Parliament, North and South Blocks, as well as shorten the decision-making loop to shoot down planes that may have been hijacked or commandeered for use as "missiles against strategic targets", say sources.

同时，作为德里区域防空计划整体的一部分，印度还在进一步调整新德里“vip - 89区”,其中包括巴旺总统,议会,北区和南区,以及缩短击落可能被劫持或征用的飞机、将飞机作为“导弹对战略目标”的决策制定周期，消息来源说。

The NASAMS, armed with the three-dimensional Sentinel radars, short and medium-range missiles, launchers, fire-distribution centers and command-and-control units to quickly detect, track and shoot down multiple airborne threats, is part of the air defence network guarding Washington. It is also deployed in several NATO countries. Besides the US national capital region, Israeli cities and Moscow also have their own missile defence systems.

美国国家先进防空导弹系统（NASAMS）拥有三维哨兵雷达、短程和中程导弹、发射器、火控中心和指挥和控制单元，可以快速探测、跟踪和击落多种空中威胁，是保卫华盛顿的防空网络的一部分。它还在几个北约国家进行了部署。除了美国首都地区，以色列城市和莫斯科也有自己的导弹防御系统。

India’s move to acquire NASAMS comes even as DRDO is in the final stages of develo its two-tier ballistic missile defence (BMD) shield, which is designed to track and destroy nuclear missiles both inside (endo) and outside (exo) the earth's atmosphere.

印度获得NASAMS的行动正值国防研究与发展组织发展其二级弹道导弹防御系统 (BMD)的最后阶段，该系统的设计用途是跟踪和摧毁地球大气层内外的核导弹。

"Once the Phase-I of the BMD system is operational, it will be deployed to protect cities like Delhi and Mumbai from long-range missiles with a 2,000-km strike range. The NASAMS, in turn, is geared towards intercepting cruise missiles, aircraft and drones," said a source.

“一旦BMD系统的第一期投入使用，它可以保护像德里和孟买这样的城市免受2000公里射程的远程导弹袭击。”而NASAMS的目标则是拦截巡航导弹、飞机和无人机。

The defence ministry, however, has kept the $2 billion procurement of 24 MH-60 ‘Romeo’ helicopters, with their associated weapons, spares and training packages, from the US pending till the inaugural "two-plus-two" dialogue between the two countries here on September 6.

印度国防部计划斥资20亿美元从美国采购24架MH-60“罗密欧”直升机及其相关武器、备件和训练包，但在9月6日两国之间首次“2+2”对话之前还有待商榷。

India wants to "assess the US response" on different issues, including its punitive sanctions regime under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) that seeks to deter countries from buying Russian weapons or Iranian oil, before granting AoN to the helicopter project as well.

印度希望在不同问题上“评估美国的反应”，包括美国制定《制裁法案》(CAATSA)对美国对手实施惩罚性制裁，该法案旨在阻止各国购买俄罗斯武器或伊朗石油。

"The AoN for the helicopters, which are used to detect, track and hunt enemy submarines, has been deferred till September. Earlier also, it was not fielded in the DAC after US abruptly cancelled the two-plus-two dialogue (between Sitharaman and foreign minister Sushma Swaraj with their American counterparts, Jim Mattis and Mike Pompeo) slated for July," said a source. Indian sources later explained that this was due to US’s upcoming engagement with North Korea.

对可探测、跟踪和追捕敌方潜艇的直升机的采购已经被推迟到9月份。早些时候，美国突然取消了原定于7月进行的2+2的对话(印度国防部长西塔拉曼和外交部长斯瓦拉杰和美国国防部长吉姆马蒂斯和外交部长迈克蓬佩奥)。印度消息人士后来解释说，这是由于美国当时将与朝鲜接触。

The US is moving towards granting waiver to India from CAATSA but it’s not yet cast in stone. India wants to ink the Rs 39,000 crore deal for five top-tier S-400 Triumf air defence missile systems from Russia later this year without the threat of financial sanctions from US, as was earlier reported by TOI.

美国正努力对印度豁免CAATSA制裁，但这还不是板上钉钉的事。印度希望在今年晚些时候免受美国制裁，签署3900亿卢比的采购协议，从俄罗斯购买5套顶级S-400防空导弹系统。

India has earmarked both the proposed procurement projects, the NASAMS as well as the naval helicopters, for government-to-government contracts through the US foreign military sales (FMS) programme.

印度已通过美国对外军事销售（FMS）计划，两国政府之间签订了采购合同，购买NASAMS和海军直升机。

Admiral Sunil Lanba, in a lecture on Friday, in fact, said, "The Navy is staring at critical capability gaps with respect to minesweepers, integral multi-role and utility helicopters, and conventional submarines." As part of the long-term "Make in India" projects, the Navy is looking to acquire 123 multi-role helicopters and 111 armed light utility choppers.

海军上将苏尼尔·兰巴在上周五的一次演讲中表示，“海军正在关注扫雷舰、多功能和通用直升机以及常规潜艇的关键能力缺口。”作为“印度制造”工程的一部分，海军希望购买123架多功能直升机和111架武装轻型多功能直升机。

India has thousands of mini-Pakistan which are like ticking time bombs. Even Police can''t dare to enter into their localities. Corrupt IPS police officers who has loyalty towards their masters Congress, BSP, and Namaajwadi Party are shielding these Muslims who were part of SIMI. INC (Islamic National Congress) is posing biggest threat to nation as BJP failed to put anti-nationals behind bars. Corrupts judges not punishing Congressi criminals thinking Congress would come back to power once again and they can enjoy benefits of power.

印度有数以千计的迷你巴基斯坦，就像定时炸弹。甚至警察也不敢进入他们的地盘。腐败的警察对他们的国大党主任很忠诚，他们保护这些属于印度ysl学生运动的msl。由于印度人民党未能将反国民阵线关进监狱，ysl国大党对该国构成了最大威胁。腐败的法官不惩罚国大党罪犯，认为国大党将再度当权,他们可以享受权力带来的好处。
