India shoots into star wars club

印度跻身“太空强国”俱乐部

NEW DELHI/BENGALURU: India successfully tested an anti-satellite (A-Sat) missile to destroy an orbiting satellite at an altitude of almost 300km on Wednesday, jettisoning its long-standing reluctance to flex military muscle in space. In the process, it joined an exclusive club of the US, Russia and that possess this deadly capability.

新德里/班加罗尔: 周三，印度成功测试了一枚反卫星导弹，摧毁了近300公里高空上的一颗轨道卫星，摒弃了长期以来不愿在太空展示军事实力的做法。印度由此成为继美国、俄罗斯和之后拥有这一能力的国家。

India test-fired the three-stage interceptor missile from the APJ Abdul Kalam Island off the Odisha coast at 11.10am. A little over an hour later, PM Narendra Modi announced the success of ‘Mission Shakti’ in a televised address to the nation.

印度于上午11时10分在奥里萨邦海岸外的阿卜杜勒·卡拉姆岛上试射了这枚三级拦截导弹。一个多小时后，印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪在向全国发表的电视讲话中宣布了“沙克提任务”的成功。

The 18-tonne missile, with two solid rocket boosters, tore into space to hit the 740-kg satellite, flying in a low earth orbit (LEO), bang in the middle barely three minutes after its launch over the Bay of Bengal.

这枚18吨重的导弹携带两个固体火箭助推器，飞入太空，击中了一颗重达740公斤的卫星，卫星在近地轨道(LEO)上飞行。导弹从孟加拉湾发射后不到三分钟就击中了目标。

Defence Research and Development Organisation chief Satheesh Reddy told TOI that while work on the ballistic missile defence (BMD) programme was going on for years, “the project only got the official go-ahead about two years ago. And we got into mission mode only six months ago”.

印度国防研究与发展组织负责人雷迪告诉《印度时报》，尽管弹道导弹防御(BMD)计划的工作已经进行了多年，该项目直到大约两年前才得到官方批准，我们六个月前才进入任务模式。”

Reddy also said all technologies for the A-Sat mission were developed indigenously. “In the A-Sat test, we achieved an accuracy of a few centimetres, meeting all technical parameters and objectives. We have the capability to do it at much higher altitudes but conducted the test in LEO or lower atmosphere to ensure the space debris decays and falls back to earth,” he said.

雷迪还表示，反卫星导弹（A-Sat）的技术都是自主研发的。“在A - Sat测试中，我们达到了几厘米的精度，满足了所有的技术参数和目标。我们有能力在更高高度进行测试，但是我们选择在低空进行测试，以确保太空碎片能回落到地球。”

The strategic significance of the ‘satellite killer’ missile is considerable as it gives India the capacity to match ’s ability to strike down ‘enemy’ satellites. Though achieved this capacity 12 years ago and has made big strides in the field, Wednesday’s test gives India the technological competence to target satellites, knocking out an adversary’s eyes and ears in space.

“反卫星”导弹的战略意义相当重大，印度由此具备了与相当的击落“敌方”卫星的能力。尽管在12年前就实现了这一能力，并在该领域取得了重大进展，但周三的测试使印度具备了打卫星的技术能力，能够在太空中摧毁对手的“耳目”。

Though the A-Sat missile was tested for a 300km altitude, DRDO scientists are confident it “can go up to 1,000km” if required. “We need the capability to neutralise surveillance, communication, navigation and other military satellites during a conflict to render enemy forces deaf and blind as well as disrupt their precision-targeting capabilities,” a defence source said.

尽管反卫星导弹测试的高度为300公里，但DRDO的科学家相信，如果有必要，“可以达到1000公里”。一名防务消息人士表示:“我们需要在冲突期间压制地方的监视、通信、导航和其他军事卫星的能力，以使敌军听不见、看不见，并破坏他们的精确瞄准能力。”

India is worried about the huge strides made in the military space arena by , which tested its first A-Sat missile in January 2007 and also has robust programmes for kinetic and directed-energy laser weapons as well as nano-satellites.

印度对在军事太空领域取得的巨大进步感到担忧。在2007年1月试射了第一枚反卫星导弹。

Indira too talked about "garibi hatao" and "star wars'' but even as early as 2013 they were never able to even initiate anything on ground and on top of it...What an epic slap by Modi on these fake Gandhis and their supporters comprising crypto converted and brainwashed hogs. Modi has shown his skills and will to make India a power to reckon with.

Where is proof? I am not asking this but Kejri, Didi, Bahenji and Pappu are asking for it. ISRO need to send them as payload on their next flight so that they can witness this next time DRDO destroys satellite.

拉胡尔他们会问“证据在哪里？”下次任务要把他们作为有效载荷发射上去，好让他们亲眼目睹印度是如何打卫星的。
