Amid Russia arms row, India plans mega deal for US military drones

在俄罗斯武器争端背景下，印度计划与美国签署一项巨额军用无人机协议

NEW DELHI: India has finalised the plan to acquire 30 weaponised Sea Guardian (or Predator-B) drones in yet another proposed mega defence deal with the US, even as New Delhi remains steadfast about going ahead with its deal inked for the Russian S-400 Triumf missile systems despite mounting pressure from the Trump administration.

新德里：印度已敲定购买30架“海上卫士”(Sea Guardian，又称“捕食者- B”)武装无人机的计划，这是印度与美国又一项大型防务协议。尽管特朗普政府施加了越来越大的压力，但印度仍然继续履行与俄罗斯签署的S-400“凯旋”导弹系统的协议。

With the US having already bagged military contracts worth $17 billion from India just since 2007, while also remaining in contention for several other major projects, Delhi is upset with Washington's intransigence over the $5.43-billion deal inked for the S-400 systems with Russia in October 2018. India has made it clear that it has "no plans to scrap" the S-400 deal, as was reported by TOI last week.

自2007年以来，美国已经从印度获得了价值170亿美元的军事合同，同时仍在争夺其他几个重大项目。印度于2018年10月与俄罗斯签署的价值54.3亿美元的S-400系统合同，美国对此表现出的不妥协态度令印度感到不满。《印度时报》上周报道称，印度已明确表示，“没有取消S-400合同的计划”。

Why on Earth all these Mega Deals to US,?? India ought to concentrate on Make in India, Whys is it our Govt. doesn''t even talk about all this.Every second day US threatens us with Sanctions because of S 400, India is setting up a bad example, We all know that US is not reliable when it comes to their Defense Products

为什么要给美国那么多大订单？印度应该把精力推动“印度制造”，为什么我们的政府对此连提都不提。因为购买俄罗斯的S400导弹系统，美国隔三差五就威胁要制裁印度。

India is not capable to produce any substantial mordern arm leavealone fighter planes it is importing even rifles from outside.

the credit goes to our QUOTA system of education which is preventing genuine telent to show their skills in R&D etc.

印度造不出现代化武器，更不用说造出从国外进口那样先进的战斗机了，甚至连步枪都要从国外进口。这都拜我们的预留制所赐，这种制度阻碍了真正的人才施展研发等方面的技能。

Well it would be a mistake. US may agree now for Indian S400 deal with Russia but they can always backtrack after selling drones to India and not give any spareparts and maintenance at a later stage. They want to sell their arms and drones but at the same time putting pressure on India to not buy Russian S400. India should not dump Russian deal at any cost.

美国现在可能默许了印度与俄罗斯签署的S400协议，向印度出售无人机后，美国人可以随时反悔，在后期不给印度无人机提供备件和维护之类的。美国一方面想向印度出售武器，出售无人机，一方面向印度施压，要求印度不要购买俄罗斯的S400导弹。印度决不能放弃与俄罗斯的协议，无论付出什么代价，都不能放弃
