印度空军上将：2月27日击落直升机是个“大失误”

NEW DELHI: Air Chief Rakesh Kumar Singh Bhadauria on Friday described as a "big mistake" the IAF shooting down its helicopter in Kashmir on February 27, when Indian and Pakistani forces engaged in a dogfight, and said punitive action is being taken against the guilty.

新德里：周五，印度空军上将巴达乌里亚称，印度空军2月27日在克什米尔地区击落了印度空军一架直升机，这是一个“大失误”，当时印度空军和巴基斯坦空军正在交战，并表示将对犯错之人采取惩罚措施。

The operational preparedness of the IAF has been of a very high order and it achieved a number of operational milestones last year, including the Balakot strikes, Bhadauria said at the Indian Air Force's annual press conference.

巴达乌里亚在印度空军的年度新闻发布会上表示，印度空军的作战准备工作井然有序。

The IAF is prepared to meet any contingency and does not rest on past laurels, Bhadauria said.

巴达乌里亚称，印度空军已准备好应对任何突发事件，不会满足于过去的荣誉。

Pakistan lost an F-16 and India a MiG-21 in aerial engagement with the Pakistan Air Force a day after the Balakot strikes, IAF chief Bhadauria said.

巴达乌里亚称，在巴拉科特空袭一天后，巴基斯坦损失了一架F-16战机，印度损失了一架米格21战机。

Talking about the IAF shooting down its own Mi-17 helicopter in Budgam on the morning of February 27, he said it was a "big mistake on our part".

2月27日上午，印度空军在巴德加姆击落了自己的米-17直升机。
