F-21 jets will not be sold to any other country if we get IAF contract: Lockheed Martin

洛克希德马丁：如果我们获得印度空军的合同，不会把F-21战机卖给其他国家

NEW DELHI: US aerospace giant Lockheed Martin says it will not sell its newly rolled out F-21 fighter jet to any other country if India places an order for 114 planes, a move aimed at pitching itself ahead of its US, European and Russian competitors for the mega deal.

新德里: 美国航空航天巨头洛克希德·马丁公司表示，如果印度向其订购114架F-21战机，该公司将不会向其他国家出售其新型F-21战机。此举旨在使其在这笔巨额交易竞标中领先于美国、欧洲和俄罗斯的竞争对手。

Vivek Lall, vice-president of Strategy and Business Development for Lockheed Martin, says if F-21 wins the contract, then India will also be integrated into the company's global fighter ecosystem, which is a $165 billion dollar market.

洛克希德·马丁公司战略和业务发展副总裁维韦克·拉尔称，如果F-21胜出，那么印度也将融入该公司的全球战斗机生态系统，这是一个1650亿美元的市场。

"We will not sell this platform and the configuration to anyone in the world. It is a significant commitment by Lockheed Martin and it shows importance of India and importance of unique requirement India has," he said.

拉尔称：“我们不会把这种配置的战机卖给其他国家。这是洛克希德·马丁公司的一项重要承诺，这表明了印度的重要性和印度独特要求的重要性。”

Last month, the Indian Air Force issued an RFI (Request for Information) or initial tender to acquire 114 jets at a cost of around $18 billion, which is billed as one of the world's biggest military procurement in recent years.

上月，印度空军发布了一份RFI(信息邀请书)，也就是首次招标文件，以大约180亿美元的价格购买114架战机，这被称为近年来全球最大额的军购之一。

The top contenders for the deal include Lockheed's F-21, Boeing's F/A-18, Dassault Aviation's Rafale, the Eurofighter Typhoon, Russian aircraft MiG 35 and Saab's Gripen.

该交易的主要竞争者包括洛克希德的“F-21”、波音的“F/A-18”、达索的“阵风”、欧洲战斗机公司的“台风战斗机”、俄罗斯的“米格35”和萨博的“鹰狮”。

Lall said if Lockheed wins the contract, it will not only set up a state-of-the-art F-21 manufacturing facility along with the Tata Group, but will also help India create an ecosystem for overall growth of the country's defence manufacturing.

拉尔表示，如果赢得合同，洛克希德公司不仅将与塔塔集团一起建立一个最先进的F-21制造工厂，而且还将帮助印度为国防制造业创造一个生态系统。

India wants F22/F35 with full technology transfer. US will eventually yield to India''s demands.

印度希望美国能转让F22和F35的全部技术。美国最终将屈服于印度的要求。

India air • US • 13 hours ago

These jets are costly. With full technology transfer as you said, we may be able to reduce the cost by manufacturing in India. We have already demonstrated our low cost manufacturing capabilities in ISRO’s Mars mission and other satelite launch programs. So the key thing here is technology transfer, which India should be adament while negotiating with USA.

这些飞机很贵。通过全面的技术转让，我们也许可以通过本地生产来降低成本。印度空间研究组织探测火星成本就压得很低。这里的关键在于技术转让，这是印度在与美国谈判时应该优先考虑的。

Forget it u illiterate idiot, US will not let India put a finger on F22, They never sold it to any country even their lap dogs such as Japan and Israel. F22 is state of the art jet. And its Not Available For Sale. Whereas F35 is costly junk ,which they r selling to the world but kee the real thing close to themselves.

算了吧，你这个白痴，美国不会让印度染指F22技术的，他们从来没有把F22卖给其他国家，即使是他们的哈巴狗，比如日本和以色列。F22是最先进的喷气式战机，是不对外出售的。而F35就是昂贵的垃圾，卖给全世界，只把好东西留给自己。

sun bhai.. I don't know weather IAF is interested in buying F21 or not? but if we are then we can use it as we want there wont be any limitations like you heard about Pakistan .. Pak can not use it for offensive purpose because, F16 were gifted them by US hence there are limitation for using it.

我不知道印度空军是否有兴趣购买F21 ?

如果买了，我们就可以随心所欲地使用，不会有任何限制。巴基斯坦不能用F16发起进攻，是因为F16是美国送给他们的，使用上有限制。

US is trying to put India in trap relentlessly. India should not fall in this trap. USA has become very unreliable by breaking agreement and not honoring them. There are number of examples. And the latest one is Iran nuclear deal. Obama signed it and Trump broke it. USA is very unreliable and India should be very careful while dealing with USA.

美国正试图把印度拖入陷阱。印度不应该中圈套。美国已经非常不可靠，动不动就撕毁协议，例子比比皆是。最新的一个是伊朗核协议。奥巴马签署了协议，特朗普却撕毁了协议。美国非常不可靠，印度在和美国打交道时应该多加小心。
