HAL to provide IAF with 83 Tejas fighters in Rs 39k cr deal

印度斯坦航空公司将向印度空军造83架“光辉”战机，价值3900亿卢比

NEW DELHI: The biggest deal in the indigenous military aviation sector has been finalised, with the overall cost of IAF acquiring 83 single-engine Tejas fighters and their support package from defence PSU Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) being slashed from the earlier around Rs 56,500 crore to Rs 39,000 crore.

新德里：印度本土军事航空部门最大的一笔交易已经敲定，印度空军将从印度斯坦航空有限公司(HAL)购买83架单引擎“光辉”战机，总成本从早先的5650亿卢比削减至3900亿卢比。

The over Rs 17,000 crore reduction in overall cost has come after hard-nosed negotiations spread over a year. The defence ministry and IAF were initially shocked at the “exorbitant price” being demanded by HAL to produce the 83 Tejas Mark-1A jets along with the maintenance and infrastructure package.

经过一年多的谈判，总成本削减了1700亿卢比。最初印度国防部和印度空军对HAL生产83架“光辉” Mark-1A并提供维护和基础设施包的总价格感到震惊，认为要价过高。

“With the contract price now settled at Rs 39,000 crore, the procurement file is being sent to the Cabinet Committee on Security for final nod. It should be cleared before this fiscal ends on March 31. Once the contract is inked, HAL promises to begin deliveries of the Mark-1A jets in three years,” said a source.

合同价格现在定在3900亿卢比，采购文件已发送至内阁安全委员会进行最后的审批。在本财年于3月31日结束之前，这一交易应该能确定。一旦签署合同，HAL承诺在三年内开始交付“光辉”Mark-1A。

It was in November 2016 that the Defence Acquisitions Council had first approved the procurement of 83 Tejas jets at a cost of Rs 49,797 crore. But HAL had responded with a quote of around Rs 56,500 crore, which led to protracted cost negotiations. “HAL, for instance, was even charging profit on imported components. Item by item, the cost was brought down. IAF also cut down some of its support requirements,” said the source.

2016年11月，印度国防采购委员会首次批准采购83架光辉战机，成本为4979.7亿卢比。但HAL的要价是5650亿卢比，这导致了旷日持久的价格谈判。HAL甚至对进口部件收取利润。之后成本逐项降低，印度空军也减少了一些支持需求。

Down to just 30 fighter squadrons (each has 18 jets) when at least 42 are required for the requisite deterrence against Pakistan and , the IAF is banking upon the long-delayed light combat aircraft Tejas to make up the free fall in numbers.

印度空军至少需要42架战机才能震慑巴基斯坦和，但印度空军的战斗机中队已减少到30(每个中队有18架战机)，印度空军寄望于拖延已久的“光辉”战机来弥补战机数量的大幅减少。

The first four Rafale fighters will touch down at Ambala airbase in May, with the remaining 32 following in batches by April 2022 under the Rs 59,000 crore deal inked with France in September 2016. But the slow production rate of the home-grown Tejas fighters by HAL, much like its protracted development saga, remains a major concern for IAF.

根据2016年9月与法国签署的5900亿卢比的协议，首批4架“阵风”战机将于5月在安巴拉空军基地着陆，其余32架将在2022年4月前分批抵达。但是HAL负责的国产“光辉”战机的生产速度缓慢，就像其漫长的研发历程一样，这仍然是印度空军的主要担忧。

Good news indeed!

While replenishing the jets inventory , India should focus on innovation and produce the most advance fighter jets to give competiton to their biggest competitors.

IAF should be stern with HAL as many of the costs are due to lethargy & can be reduced.

印度空军应该对印度斯坦航空公司要求严格一点，许多费用是可以减少的，都是由于工作懒散造成的。

why so slow production rate when user and suppliers are both government controlled. increase production will get more orders may be exported also.

供应商是国企，客户是军方，都受政府控制，为什么生产速度这么慢?增加产量将获得更多的订单，还有可能出口呢。

By the time it gets inducted, it will be outdated. Production rate of F-35 is 100 a year and expected go up to 160. Production rate of Tejas has been 8 per year. Doubling it to 16 is being advertised as a major achievement!

等到交付的时候，就过时了。F-35的年产量为100架，预计将达到160架。“光辉”的年产量为8架，翻倍到16架就宣传这是一个了不起的成就!

Fighter jet in the age of advanced weapons technology is just a carrier of weapons. The Jet should be fitted with state of the art radar and missiles to be effective. With advanced weapons on board the carrier doesn’t make much difference whether it is Tejas or Rafale.

战斗机只是武器的载体。喷气式战机应该配备最先进的雷达和导弹才有作用，如果都搭载了先进武器的战机，无论是“光辉”还是“阵风”都没有太大区别。

Will Tejas anytime able to enter enemy territory? First Indian army need to check it's capabilities. If it is so capable then why are we batting for Rafale?

“光辉”战机随时都能进入敌方领土吗?如果能，那我们为什么要买“阵风”呢?

One can see the changes in HAL now. Quotation of 56,500 crore reduced to 39,000 crore indicates level of babugiri inside HAL. Had it been other govts, the 56,500 offer could have been passed with a good deal of amount getting pilfered somewhere

价格从5650亿卢比降低到3900亿卢比，可以看出印度斯坦航空公司的变化。如果是其他国家，5650亿可能都会通过政府的审批，但有一大部分被贪污

Hope HAL steps up and supplies quality fighters within time schedule. The country stands to gain a lot if our defence requirement is fulfilled internally.

hmmmm...GE supplys the engines..i will only salute the HAL only after they start exporting their aircraft to other countries ...if it is not export worthy obviously it is not world class that other countries want it..so we have a long way to go so guys so dont get excited..

只有当印度斯坦航空公司开始向其他国家出口战机之后，我才会向他们致敬。如果不能出口，显然就不是其他国家想要的世界级产品。所以，我们还有很长的路要走，伙计们，不要激动。
