India-Pak tension: How the air power matches up

印巴紧张局势: 空军实力对比

NEW DELHI: India’s airstrike deep inside Pakistan and Pakistani jets’ foray into India has put the focus on the air prowess of the two neighbours following tensions over the Pulwama terror attack.

新德里：在普尔瓦马恐怖袭击事件引发紧张局势后，印度对巴基斯坦腹地发动空袭，巴基斯坦战机突袭印度，引起外界关注这两个邻国的空军实力。

India has more jet squadrons than Pakistan. IAF’s sanctioned strength is 42 squadrons, but it was down to 33 in 2014. Pakistan Air Force, on the other hand, is tipped to have about 25-30 squadrons.

印度的战斗机中队比巴基斯坦多。印度空军的兵力编制是42个中队，在2014年降至33个。而巴基斯坦空军有25-30个中队。

A military squadron usually comprises 12 to 24 aircraft. Some IAF fighter squadrons have 18 aircraft while others operate with fewer jets. Also, all aircraft are not available round the clock. Only about a third of the jets in a squadron stay under repair or maintenance at any given time with fewer jets.

一个中队通常由12至24架战机组成。一些印度空军中队有18架战机，而其他中队的飞机数量更少。此外，并不是所有战机都能24小时待命。通常，一个中队有大约三分之一的飞机不是在维修，就是在保养中。

Here's a map that shows bases of Indian Air Force close to the Pakistan border that house fighter jets and Pakistani air force bases and squadrons posted at each. It includes information only on squadrons and types of jets, and not on helicopters and other aircraft.

下图显示的是靠近巴基斯坦边境的印度空军基地，以及巴基斯坦空军基地。只包括中队和战机类型的信息，不包括直升机和其他飞机的信息。

What these mothefukers are doing on the name of journalism. yesterday some batard posted the family details of the soldier in captivity and today they are trying to show our capability problems. The world rightly says that Indian media and journalism is nothing more than a bunch of incapable jokers. They always compare our defence, facilities and living standard with other world but never dare to compare the standard of media with nations. Time to introspect you shameless unethical journalists.

怎么报道这些内容啊。昨天发布了被捕士兵的家庭信息，今天又试图公布我方战机部署。印度媒体和新闻记者只不过是一群无能的小丑，总是拿我们的国防、设施和生活水平与其他国家比较，却不敢拿媒体的水平与其他国家比较。是时候反省了，你们这些无耻、不道德的记者。

Modi insisted that IAF drop bombs in empty area. Now Pak has shot down one of our aircraft and captured our pilot. This has turned out to be an embarrassment for Modi since he doesn''t know what the end game is he is sitting on his thumbs. He was ho this would help him for his election, now it is going to bite him in his brutt. I doubt whether Mig21s can hit an F-16. So the propaganda that F-16 was shot down is a false narrative being spread to appease Modi

莫迪坚持让印度空军投放炸弹。现在巴基斯坦击落了我们的一架飞机并逮捕了我们的飞行员。这对莫迪来说是一件尴尬的事，不知道如何收场。他本来希望这能对选举有所帮助，可现在却事与愿违。我怀疑米格-21打得准F-16吗，宣传F-16被击落是为了安抚莫迪而散布的谎言吧

Early indications are that India cannot depend on outdated technology for security. Our politicians should wake up to reality and stop skim on defence, year after year so that they can win elections. Jet fighters cannot be ordered when war breaks out. Border roads cannot be suddenly built when war breaks out. We only consider these severe limitations after a war has broken out. plans ahead 100 years.

印度不能依靠过时的战机。我们的政客应该清醒了，认清现实，不要年复一年地在国防上吝啬，这样才能赢得选举。战争爆发时，要有喷气式战机可以上场迎战，不能临时修公路啊。我们只有在战争爆发后才考虑这些关键因素。而已经为未来100年做好了计划。
