Trump pitches for US to become India's premier defence partner, a day before $3 billion copter deals

特朗普力争让美国成为印度的头号国防合作伙伴，双方将签署价值30亿美元的直升机合同

NEW DELHI: The US has strongly pitched for becoming India’s “premier defence partner” by providing it with the most advanced weapon systems like armed drones that are “feared” across the globe, ahead of the inking of two more military helicopter deals worth $3 billion on Tuesday, which will take the total value of Indian arms deals bagged by Washington since 2007 over the $20 billion mark.

新德里：美国力争成为印度的“头号国防合作伙伴”，为其提供最先进的武器系统,如武装无人机，这种武器在全球“令人生畏”。周二，印度将签署两份价值30亿美元的军用直升机合同，这将使华盛顿自2007年以来获得的印度武器订单总额突破200亿美元大关。

“I’m pleased to announce that tomorrow, our representatives will sign defence deals worth over $3 billion to sell the absolute, finest state-of-the-art military helicopters and other equipment to the Indian armed forces,” President Donald Trump said at the ‘Namaste Trump’ event in Ahmedabad on Monday.

周一，特朗普总统在艾哈迈达巴德举行的“你好，特朗普”活动上表示:“我很高兴宣布，明天，我们的代表将签署价值30多亿美元的国防协议，向印度军队出售最先进的军用直升机和其他装备。”

TOI was the first to report that the two deals to acquire 24 MH-60 ‘Romeo’ naval multi-mission helicopters for Rs 15,157 crore ($2.12 billion) and six additional AH-64E Apache attack choppers for Rs 5,691 crore ($796 million) from the US had been cleared by the Cabinet Committee on Security led by PM Narendra Modi.

以1515.7亿卢比(21.2亿美元)购买24架MH-60“罗密欧”海军多任务直升机，以569.1亿卢比(7.96亿美元)从购买6架AH-64E阿帕奇攻击型直升机，这两项交易已经由莫迪总理领导的内阁安全委员会批准。

The first six MH-60R helicopters, equipped with multi-mode radars and night-vision capabilities as well as Hellfire missiles, MK-54 torpedoes and precision-kill rockets for potent anti-submarine warfare, will be delivered in a year. The rest 18 will come in the next four years to plug the critical operational deficiency of such choppers on board Indian warships when submarines are regularly prowling in the Indian Ocean Region.

首批6架MH-60R直升机将在一年内交付，将配备多模式雷达和夜视能力，以及地狱火导弹，MK-54鱼雷和精确杀伤火箭弹，用于强有力的反潜战。其余18架将在未来4年内交付，以填补印度军舰上此类直升机的不足。目前，潜艇经常在印度洋地区潜行。

The six Apaches, armed with Stinger air-to-air missiles, Hellfire Longbow air-to-ground missiles, guns and rockets, in turn, will be delivered in three-and-a-half years. These six Apaches are meant for the Army, and will follow 22 such helicopters already inducted by IAF under a Rs 13,952 crore deal inked with the US in September 2015.

6架阿帕奇直升机装备“毒刺”空对空导弹、“地狱火”长弓空对地导弹、大炮和火箭弹，将在三年半后交付。这六架阿帕奇直升机是为印度陆军准备的，印度空军已经在2015年9月与美国签署了1395.2亿卢比的合同，购买了22架阿帕奇直升机。

“I believe the US should be India’s premier defence partner and that is the way it is working out. Together, we will defend our sovereignty, security and protect a free and open Indo-Pacific region for our children and for many, many generations to come,” Trump said.

特朗普表示：“我认为，美国应该成为印度的头号国防合作伙伴，事情就是这样发展的。为了我们的子孙后代，我们将共同捍卫我们的主权、安全，捍卫一个自由开放的印太地区”

Not a single country backed India except Russia. Russia has given us the technology for space rockets ,like the cryogenic engines, given us the blueprints for nuclear submarines. Blancket support for HAL.Indians should always stand with Russia.We won the wars because of Russian support. Hope Modi remembers this. Russia has stood by India so one should not forget Russia is not just our friend. Its part of our family.

除了俄罗斯，没有一个国家支持印度。俄罗斯给我们提供了太空火箭技术，比如低温引擎，给了我们核潜艇的蓝图。印度应该永远和俄罗斯站在一起。由于俄罗斯的支持，我们赢得了战争。希望莫迪能记住这一点，俄罗斯一直支持印度，所以不要忘了，俄罗斯不仅仅是我们的朋友，而且就像我们的家人一样。

This will not go down well with Russia who has stood by us at all times! Remember, the loyalty of America will change depending on who is the President there, but Russian support is enduring and time tested! We can have a lasting business relationship with America, and as long as there is money, the Americans will be with us! Russia and Israel, on the other hand, are loyal allies who stood by us when the whole world was against us.

请记住，美国的忠诚将取决于谁当总统，但俄罗斯的友谊经得住持久的考验!

我们可以和美国建立持久的商业关系，只要有钱，美国人就会和我们在一起!

另一方面，俄罗斯和以色列是忠诚的盟友，当全世界都反对我们的时候，他们站在我们这边。
