Shivangi Singh to be first Rafale woman fighter pilot

希万吉·辛格将成为首位“阵风”战机女飞行员

NEW DELHI: From the country’s oldest fighter jets to the newest, Flight Lieutenant Shivangi Singh is getting set to graduate to flying the omni-role Rafale after becoming fully-operational on the ageing MiG-21 ‘Bison’.

新德里消息：印度空军上尉希万吉·辛格即将开始驾驶全功能“阵风”战机，此前她已经可全面操作米格-21“野牛”战机，她驾驶的战机将从印度最老的战机跨到最新的战机。

Flt Lt Singh, who hails from Varanasi, will formally join the 17 ‘Golden Arrows’ Squadron of the 4.5-generation Rafales at the Ambala airbase after she finishes her “conversion training”, which is required when a combat pilot switches from one fighter to another.

来自瓦拉纳西的空军上尉辛格在完成“改装训练”后，将正式加入安巴拉空军基地的第17“金箭”中队，该战斗机中队配备4.5代阵风战机。“改装训练”是战斗飞行员在更换战机时所必需的。

But it should be a breeze for Flt Lt Singh after flying the highly-demanding and ageing MiG-21s, which have virtually the highest landing and take-off speed in the world at 340 kmph.

但是，对驾驶过高要求老旧米格的辛格上尉来说，这应该是一件轻而易举的事。米格-21的起降速度为340公里/小时，几乎是世界上最高的。

Flt Lt Singh, who studied at the Banaras Hindu University, was among the second batch of women fighter pilots who were commissioned in 2017. IAF currently has 10 women fighter pilots, who have undergone the arduous training to fly supersonic jets. It takes around Rs 15 crore to train a single fighter pilot.

曾就读于贝拿勒斯印度大学的空军上尉辛格是2017年服役的第二批女战斗机飞行员之一。印度空军目前有10名女战斗机飞行员，她们经历了驾驶超音速飞机的艰苦训练。训练一名战斗机飞行员大约需要花费1.5亿卢比。

Flt Lt Singh was previously deployed at a forward fighter base in Rajasthan, where she has flown along with Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, who was taken captive for a few days last year after his MiG-21 was shot down during an aerial skirmish with Pakistani fighters after the Balakot air strikes.

空军上尉辛格之前在拉贾斯坦邦的前沿战斗机基地服役，和去年在巴拉科特空军空袭中驾驶米格-21战机的飞行员阿比纳丹共事，阿比纳丹在与巴基斯坦武装分子的一次空战中被击落，后被俘。

Flt Lts Avani Chaturvedi, Bhawana Kanth and Mohana Singh were the first women to be commissioned as flying officers into the IAF fighter stream after basic training in June 2016. They broke the glass ceiling of the long-standing combat-exclusion policy for women in the Indian armed forces.

2016年6月，空军上尉Avani Chaturvedi、Bhawana Kanth和Mohana Singh经过基本训练后，成为印度空军首批女飞行军官。她们打破了印度军队长期排斥女性参战的政策。

when we say no gender bias then why this becomes a news at all. be it men or women all same right ?

既然我们没有性别歧视，为什么这会成为新闻？不管是男人还是女人都一样，对吧?

Ajhay U Waghmare

she's a fighter pilot like her other colleagues

why does her gender matter?

its an asexual job that doesn't require gender specific traits

她是一名战斗机飞行员，和她的其他同事一样，

为什么要提性别?

这是一份无关性别的工作，不需要特定的性别。
