Army to induct 460 Russian-origin tanks to add muscle on Pak front

印度陆军将引进460辆俄罗斯产坦克，以增强巴基斯坦方向的前线部队实力

NEW DELHI: The Indian Army will induct an additional 464 Russian-origin upgraded T-90 'Bhishma' main-battle tanks at a cost of Rs 13,448 crore in the 2022-2026 time frame to bolster its "shock and awe" capabilities on the western front, even as Pakistan is also discussing a deal with Russia for acquiring about 360 such tanks.

新德里：印度陆军将斥资1344.8亿卢比，在2022 - 2026年期间从俄罗斯引进464辆升级版T- 90“Bhishma”主战坦克，以增强在西线的威慑力，尽管巴基斯坦也正与俄罗斯商谈购买约360辆此类坦克。

Defence ministry sources on Monday said the "indent" to produce the 464 T-90 tanks would soon be placed on the Avadi Heavy Vehicle Factory (HVF) under the Ordnance Factory Board after the cabinet committee on security cleared the licence acquisition from Russia over a month ago.

印度国防部消息人士周一表示，在内阁安全委员会一个多月前从俄罗斯获得许可后，生产464辆T-90坦克的“合同”将交付给军械工厂委员会下属的阿瓦迪重型汽车工厂 (HVF)。

The Army already has around 1,070 T-90 tanks as well as 124 'Arjun' and 2,400 older T-72 tanks in its 67 armoured regiments. After the first 657 T-90 tanks were imported for Rs 8,525 crore from Russia from 2001 onwards, another 1,000 are being progressively licenced and produced by HVF with Russian kits. "There has been some delay in the indent for the remaining 464 tanks, which will also have night-fighting capabilities. Once it is done, the first 64 tanks should be delivered in 30-41 months," said a source.

印度陆军67个装甲团里已装备大约1070辆T-90坦克，124辆“阿琼”坦克和2400辆T-72坦克。2001年，耗资852.5亿卢比从俄罗斯引进首批657辆T-90坦克，之后，HVF获得许可使用俄罗斯配件生产1000辆T-90坦克。消息称：“其余464辆坦克的订单有些延迟，这些坦克也将具备夜间作战能力。一旦完成，首批64辆将在30-41个月内交付。”

"Pakistan has plans to upgrade its exsting mechanised forces, which includes over 50 armoured regiments of Ukrainian T-80UD and -origin tanks. It wants to acquire new Russian T-90 tanks and indigenously produce others with 's help," said a source.

消息称：“巴基斯坦计划升级现有的机械化部队，包括采购50多辆乌克兰T-80UD坦克和坦克。巴基斯坦也想购买俄罗斯T-90坦克，并在的帮助下自主生产其他坦克。”

Inside Pakistan, the average Pakistanis are way much better than dirt poor India where millions of farmers commit suicide every year out of sheer poverty, families failing to perform the funeral throw the dead bodies in to Ganga making it holier everyday, or every day norm rape nade it the rape capital of the world!

巴基斯坦人的日子比穷困潦倒的印度人好过得多。印度每年有数以百万计的贫穷农民因绝望而自杀，没钱举办葬礼的家庭直接把尸体扔进恒河，每天都有强奸发生，印度由此成为世界强奸之都!
