Naval MiG-29K fighters & P-8I aircraft deployed amid border tensions with

边境局势紧张之际，印度海军部署米格- 29k战机和P-8I巡逻机

NEW DELHI: Naval MiG-29K supersonic fighters and Poseidon-8I long-range patrol aircraft may primarily have a maritime role but they are also being used over land amid the ongoing military confrontation with in eastern Ladakh.

新德里：海军“米格- 29k”超音速战机和P- 8I（海神）远程巡逻机主要在海上使用，但在拉达克东部与的军事对峙持续之际，它们也被部署在陆地。

Sources said the US-origin P-8I aircraft, which are packed with radars and electro-optic sensors to hunt enemy warships and submarines, are being regularly deployed to keep track of movements and build-ups of the People’s Liberation Army along the Line of Actual Control. “Satellites and drones, of course, are also being used for surveillance,” said a source.

消息人士称，配备雷达和光电传感器的美国P-8I巡逻机将定期部署，以追踪实际控制线沿线解放军的行动和集结情况。“当然，也有用卫星和无人机监视，”一位消息人士说道。

The Russian-origin MiG-29Ks, in turn, have replaced IAF fighters at an airbase in north-western India. IAF has forward deployed a lot of its fighters like Sukhoi-30MKIs, Mirage-2000s and MiG-29s as well as Apache attack and Chinook heavy-lift helicopters along the LAC, especially in eastern Ladakh.

俄罗斯产米格- 29ks取代了印度空军在西北部一空军基地的战机。印度空军已经在实控线沿线部署了大量战机，比如苏霍伊- 30MKI、幻影-2000和米格-29，以及阿帕奇攻击型直升机和切努克重型直升机，特别是在拉达克东部地区。

IAF has also positioned around 10 Jaguar maritime strike fighters, armed with anti-ship Harpoon missiles, at the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago, which dominates ’s critical sea trade lanes passing through the Malacca Strait, as was first reported by TOI on Tuesday.

印度空军还在安达曼和尼科巴群岛部署了大约10架配备“鱼叉”反舰导弹的“美洲虎”海上打击战斗机，安达曼和尼科巴群岛控制着通过马六甲海峡的重要海上贸易航道。

Incidentally, India had deployed the P-8I aircraft, which are also armed with missiles and other weapons, to keep tabs on troops even during the 73-day troop face-off at Doklam near the Sikkim-Bhutan-Tib tri-junction in 2017.

印度部署的P-8I巡逻机也装备了导弹和其他武器，以监视军队，在2017年为期73天的洞朗军事对峙期间也部署过。

Chief of defence staff General Bipin Rawat, who was then the Army chief, had earlier said he was surprised to find out about the naval aircraft’s robust reconnaissance capabilities during the Doklam crisis.

时任陆军参谋长的国防参谋长比平·拉瓦特早些时候曾表示，他对海军巡逻机在洞朗危机期间强大的侦察能力感到惊讶。

The Navy currently has eight P-8Is, acquired under a $2.1 billion deal of January 2009, while another four are slated for delivery next year under another $1.1 billion contract inked in July 2016.

印度海军目前拥有8架P-8Is。2009年1月，印度签署了价值21亿美元的合同，购买8架P-8I。2016年7月签署了另一份价值11亿美元的合同，购买4架P-8I，将在明年交付。

The force, in turn, had procured 45 MiG-29Ks from Russia for $2 billion to operate from the 44,570-tonne aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya, which usually carries 18-20 of the fighters and some helicopters at a time.

印度空军已从俄罗斯购买了45架米格- 29k战斗机，总价20亿美元，用于部署在排水量44570吨的“维克拉玛蒂亚号”航母上执行任务。“维克拉玛蒂亚号”一次通常携带18-20架米格- 29k战机和一些直升机。

The Navy, of course, has also deployed several warships and submarines on the eastern seaboard to maintain high operational readiness. On Monday, in a strong strategic signal to , four frontline Indian warships had conducted a “cooperative exercise” with the US carrier strike group led by aircraft carrier USS Nimitz in the southern Bay of Bengal, as was reported by TOI.

当然，印度海军也在东海岸部署了几艘军舰和潜艇，以保持高度战备状态。周一，四艘印度前线战舰在南孟加拉湾与“尼米兹号”航母率领的美国航母战斗群进行了一次“合作演习”，对发出了一个强烈的战略信号。

感谢曼莫汉·辛格订购了45架米格29K和维克拉玛蒂亚号航母。在其任期内购买的6架P-81和核潜艇提升了印度海军的能力。真希望当时也订购了118架“阵风”，这样就能完全堵住我们的防御漏洞。

PLA is a peasant army, the poor people join only to survive poverty and some money is given to their families. They are not the fighting type. air force has 3rd generation technology, so goes for navy. has quantity, but, no quality.

的军队是一支农民军，这些穷人参军只是为了脱贫，政府会给他们的家人发一些钱，他们不擅长作战。空军拥有的武器都是第三代的，海军也是。军队只是数量多而已
