India inks over $3 billion deal with Russia for nuclear submarine despite the threat of US sanctions

尽管面临美国制裁的威胁，印度仍与俄罗斯签署了30多亿美元的核潜艇协议

NEW DELHI: India on Thursday inked yet another mega defence deal worth over $3 billion for the lease of a nuclear-powered attack submarine from Russia, despite the threat of US financial sanctions still looming over the earlier $5.4 billion contract inked for Russian S-400 Triumf missile systems in October last year.

新德里:周四，印度又签署了一项价值超30亿美元的协议，从俄罗斯租借一艘攻击型核潜艇，尽管去年10月签署的俄罗斯S-400“凯旋”导弹系统合同仍面临美国金融制裁的威胁，该合同价值54亿美元。

Defence sources said the over $3 billion (around Rs 21,000 crore) contract for the Akula-1 class submarine, which will be ready by around 2025, includes a comprehensive package for refurbishment of the nuclear boat lying mothballed at Severodvinsk, its sustenance and spares support for 10 years, as well as training and technical infrastructure for its operations.

印度国防部消息人士称, 这艘“鲨鱼级”核潜艇的租赁合同金额超过30亿美元(约2100亿卢比)，将在2025年左右交付，租期为10年。目前这艘潜艇停靠在北德文斯克造船厂内，俄罗斯将对其进行全面升级改造, 并提供操作方面的培训和技术支持，以及为期10年的维护和零件供应。

This submarine will replace INS Chakra, the Akula class submarine taken on a 10-year lease from Russia in April 2012, under a secret over $900 million deal inked way back in January 2004.

该潜艇将取代“查克拉”号潜艇，这艘潜艇也是从俄罗斯租借，租期为10年从2012年4月起算，该潜艇超过9亿美元的秘密合同早在2004年1月就签署了。

“INS Chakra’s exsting lease will be extended till at least 2025 through another contract till the new submarine, which will be bigger and more advanced than it, becomes operational,” said a source.

一位消息人士透露：““查克拉”号的租约将至少延长到2025年，直到新潜艇投入使用，这艘潜艇将比“查克拉”号更大、更先进。”

It was in November last year that India declared its first indigenous nuclear-powered submarine with nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles (called SSBN in naval parlance),

去年11月，印度宣布其第一艘本土核潜艇“歼敌号”装配核弹头弹道导弹(海军称之为弹道导弹战略核潜艇SSBN)。

INS Arihant, had successfully completed its “first deterrence patrol” .

“歼敌号”成功完成了“第一次威慑巡逻”。

It meant that the country’s long-awaited nuclear triad -- the capability to fire nuclear weapons from land (Agni missiles), air (fighter-bombers) and sea (SSBNs like INS Arihant) – was finally operational to some extent.

这意味着印度期待已久的“核三位一体”打击能力——从陆地(烈火导弹)、空中(战斗轰炸机)和海上(弹道导弹战略核潜艇，如歼敌号)发射核武器的能力——终于在某种程度上准备就绪。

What a great damage Congress rule has done to our nation !. Just less than 5 years of Modi rule and we are getting stronger and stronger every day. Modi must be in power at least for one more term for sure. Only this will help us recover from the family rule damage

This is the difference, India was almost bankrupt druing UPA rule since UPA was busy with loot & distributing free resources for votes. And now India is spending big money to strengthen our defence line-up but still hel people who needs help like farmers, etc.

This is a good move. India won't bend before any country be it a superpower to safeguard the country's interests. The US has a tendency to bully other countries( "don't buy this that from that country or else...") but India won't bulge by your tactics.

Also point to note that Russia has constantly taken our side for decades hence is a good friend. No need to fear US, they need us as much as we need them. We the people are the power that drives the country!

Have to give credit to this government for the decision.

干得好。为了捍卫国家利益，印度不会屈服于任何国家，无论对方是不是超级大国。美国有欺负其他国家的倾向(总是威胁“别从那个国家买，否则就怎样怎样……”)，但印度不会屈服。

几十年来，俄罗斯一直站在我们这边，是我们的好朋友。没有必要害怕美国，他们也需要我们，就像我们需要他们一样。人民才是国家前进的动力!

功劳归本届政府。

Ignorant people are writing about why leaving and nor purchasing. Why not built in India ?

Congress never invested in research and development in the armaments industry because of kickbacks from the USSR.

The Americans, Russians, have invested billions and billions on dollars in R & D.

Congress only interest was Commision.

The state of India's defence speaks for itself when decent bullet proof vest and assault rifles could not even be replaced timeously.

有些无知的人说为什么不直接买呢，为什么不在印度造呢?

由于苏联给了回扣，国大党从未在军备工业的研发上投资。

美国、俄罗斯和已经在研发上投入了数十亿美元。

而国大党唯一感兴趣的就是回扣。

印度军队没能力升级防弹背心和突击步枪，印度的国防状况不言自明。
