Amid row, India to get first batch of Rafales

中印对峙之际，印度将接收首批“阵风”战机

NEW DELHI: India is set to get the first batch of four to six Rafale fighters, which armed with the Meteor air-to-air missiles and Scalp cruise missiles constitute a formidable weapon system. The batch is expected by the end of July.

新德里：印度将获得首批4-6架“阵风”战机，配备“流星”空对空导弹和"斯卡尔普"巡航导弹，构成强大的武器系统。预计这批战机将于7月底交付。

India has asked France to speed up the delivery schedule of the 36 Rafales, under the Rs 59,000 crore deal inked in September 2016, amid the ongoing troop confrontation in eastern Ladakh with .

根据2016年9月签署的价值5900亿卢比的合同，印度已要求法国加快36架“阵风”战机的交付进度。目前，印度与在拉达克东部的部队对峙仍在持续。

Sources said the first four to six Rafales flown by IAF pilots, who have been trained in France, are likely to touch down at the Ambala air base on July 27 after a stopover at the Al Dhafra air base near Abu Dhabi. The omni-role fighters are likely to undergo mid-air refueling through IL-78 tanker aircraft of IAF during their flight from UAE to India.

消息称，首批4-6架阵风战机将由在法国接受训练的印度空军飞行员驾驶，在阿布扎比附近的达弗拉空军基地停留后，可能于7月27日在安巴拉空军基地降落。在从阿联酋飞往印度的途中，这些全能战斗机可能会通过印度空军的IL-78加油机进行空中加油。

The deliveries of the Meteor missiles, which with a strike range of 120 to 150-km can outgun any missile unleashed by Pakistani or jets, and the over 300-km range Scalp air-to-ground cruise missiles have already begun, said sources.

配备的“流星”导弹的射程为120至150公里，胜过巴基斯坦和战机搭载的任何导弹，"斯卡尔普"空对地巡航导弹的射程超过300公里。

As per the original delivery schedule, the first four Rafales were to reach Ambala by May this year, with all the 36 jets arriving by April 2022. Though the delivery of the first four Rafales got delayed a little by the Covid-19 pandemic, India has now asked France to compress the entire delivery schedule, given the heightened tensions with .

按照最初的交付时间表，首批4架“阵风”战机将于今年5月抵达安巴拉，全部36架战机将于2022年4月抵达。尽管首批4架“阵风”战机的交付因新冠疫情而略有延迟，但鉴于与的紧张关系加剧，印度现已要求法国加快整个交付进度。

The Rafales will significantly add to the qualitative and quantitative edge the IAF already has over the People’s Liberation Army-Air Force (PLAAF) along the 3,488-km Line of Actual Control.

印度空军在长达3488公里的实控线部署的战机本就在质量和数量上超过空军，“阵风”战机将大大增强这一优势。

IAF has already inducted Sukhoi-30MKI, MiG-29 and Jaguar fighters into forward air bases along the LAC to deter from any misadventure, as was earlier reported by TOI.

《印度时报》早些时候曾报道，印度空军已经将苏霍伊- 30mki、米格-29和美洲虎战机部署到沿实控线的前沿空军基地，以震慑。

An IAF induction team of pilots, engineers and technicians has been undergoing training since last year in France,

自去年以来，一支由飞行员、工程师和技术人员组成的印度空军团队一直在法国接受训练。

That's a great news.

Finally it's coming to India. Deal was signed the the leadership of PM and getting delivered on time, if it was Congress you cannot expect delivery in another 10 years as they need their commission per aircraft.

好消息啊。“阵风”终于要到印度了。阵风协议是莫迪拍板签署的，并且将会按时交付，如果是国大党执政，10年后都不可能交付，每架战机他们都要拿回扣机。

Prasad Panigrahy

We are proud of you Mr. PM. Entire India is with you and our Army. Teach a lesson to . Entire World will follow India. The time is perfect.

我们为你感到骄傲，总理先生。全印度人民会和印度军队都支持你。给一个教训，整个世界都将追随印度，时机到了。

原本可以买128架的，现在才36架，哈哈。

Jaihind

印度必胜！

Vishal Sheth

Good but 36 is not much. Future of our air force should be comprising of only Rafales (medium weight) , Su-30s (heavyweight) , Tejas (lightweight) fighters. At least another 100 Rafales needed, that along with 270 Su-30s we already have will scare the balls out Pakis and .

不错，但36架不够。印度空军未来只需配备“阵风”(中型)，苏-30(重量级)，“光辉”(轻型)战斗机。我们至少还需要卖100架“阵风”，再加上现有的270架苏-30，巴基斯坦人和会吓死的。

Shankarnarayan Sarma

We are so happy that our present Government is strengthening the hands of our Armed Forces. Doubtlessly India is combat ready in all counts against land grabber .

太高兴了，印度这届政府正在加强我们的武装力量。毫无疑问，印度已经做好了对抗的一切准备。

10 years of UPA government has did nothing. Not a single major defance procurement. neither any road development in critical border area.

国大党政府10年执政期间无所作为，没有达成一项重大的国防采购，也没有在重要的边境地区修建公路。

Alhind

the nation already knows why Sonia Maino and Raul vinci wanted the deal to be cancelled or ateleast delay the delivery.

印度人都知道为什么索尼娅和拉胡尔想要取消“阵风”交易或者推迟交付。

Hindustani

has no match for Rafale. It will be shot in the arm for IAF

战机不是“阵风”战机的对手。交付后将给印度空军打上一针强心针

Ajithlal Gangadharan

If feku govt had not cancelled the UPA contract 128 rafales would have reached india by now and through tranfer of technology we could have manufactured as many as we needed. Feku worked for thats why he scrapped the contract.

如果莫迪政府没有取消国大党政府签署的阵风合同，128架阵风战机现在已经到达印度了，通过技术转让，我们想造多少阵风战机都行。莫迪为工作，所以他取消了合同。

PDev

Excellent, this is going to be the game changer.

太好了，“阵风”战机的到来将会改变游戏规则。
