IAF gets first batch of 4 Apache attack helicopters from US

印度空军获得首批4架美国“阿帕奇”武装直升机

NEW DELHI: US aerospace major Boeing on Saturday handed over the first four of the 22 Apache attack helicopters to the Indian Air Force while another batch of four choppers will be delivered next week.

新德里：周六，美国航空巨头波音公司将22架“阿帕奇”武装直升机中的首批四架交付给印度空军，下周将再交付4架。

The delivery of the first batch of the AH-64E Apache helicopters to the IAF at the Hindan air base came nearly four years after a multi-billion dollar deal for the choppers was sealed.

首批AH-64E型“阿帕奇”直升机交付给印度空军欣登空军基地。4年前，印度签署了这项价值数十亿美元的直升机合同。

Boeing said the first batch of the Apaches arrived in India and an additional four choppers will be delivered to the IAF next week.

波音公司表示，首批“阿帕奇”直升机已经运抵印度，另外四架将于下周交付印度空军。

The AH-64E Apache is one of the world's most advanced multi-role combat helicopters, and is flown by the US Army.

AH-64E型“阿帕奇”直升机是全球最先进的多用途武装直升机之一，已在美国陆军服役。

The IAF had signed a multi-billion dollar contract with the US government and Boeing Ltd in September 2015 for 22 Apache helicopters.

2015年9月，印度空军与美国政府和波音公司签署了一份价值数十亿美元的合同，购买22架阿帕奇直升机。

Senior IAF officials said the addition of the Apache fleet will significantly enhance the force's combat capabilities as the chopper has been customised to suit IAF's future requirements.

印度空军高级官员表示，阿帕奇机群的加入将显著增强印度空军的作战能力，这款直升机已经经过定制，以适应印度空军未来的需求。

The company has delivered more than 2,200 Apaches to customers around the world since the aircraft entered production and India is the 14th nation to select it for its military.

自“阿帕奇”进入生产以来，该公司已向全球各家客户交付了2200多架，印度是第14个选择阿帕奇的国家。

"By 2020, the IAF will operate a fleet of 22 Apaches, and these first deliveries are ahead of schedule," Boeing said.

波音表示:“到2020年，印度空军将拥有22架阿帕奇飞机，首批交付的时间比原计划早。”

What a shameful act! India needs to buy its own LCH (Light Combat Helicopter) instead! 15-20 of these expensive machines will not help! Spares will become a problem once India goes against US!!,Sell these to someone and get our money back!

丢人啊!

印度空军应该购买国产的轻型战斗直升机!

这些昂贵的美国直升机中有15-20架是没用的!

一旦违逆美国，印度这些直升机的备件从哪里去找!!

现在把这些直升机转卖给别人，换成钱吧!

从美国购买是大错特错。美国是最以自我为中心、最不值得信赖的国家。美国政客背弃条约。只要有利可图，他们啥都愿意做。

IAF should scan these birds thoroughly and sanitize them of bugs the yankees may have planted to spy on our air force installations. After all American yankees are double crossers can ditch us for the Pakis to whom they are selling the F16 and Missiles systems to match Indian purchases from Russia of S-400 system missiles.

印度空军应该对这些直升机进行彻底检查，并对它们进行消毒。美国佬可能为监视印度空军设施而植入间谍软件。毕竟美国是双面人，他们还把F16战机和导弹系统卖给巴基斯坦，以对付印度从俄罗斯购买的S-400系统导弹。
