印度现在可从美国购买远程武装无人机，但费用是个问题

NEW DELHI: The combination of two foundational pacts inked with the US, COMCASA in 2018 and BECA on Tuesday, has paved the way for India to acquire armed drones like Reapers or Predators for long-range precision strikes against hostile targets on land and sea.

新德里：印度与美国签署的两项基础协议——2018年的《通信兼容与安全协议》（COMCASA）和周二的BECA协议——为印度购买“收割者”或“捕食者”等武装无人机，对陆地和海上的敌方目标进行远程精确打击铺平了道路。

The Indian armed forces have been pushing for the acquisition of 30 ‘hunter-killer’ weaponized Sea Guardian or MQ-9 Reaper drones, which would cost around $3 billion, with fast-track procurement of six of them amidst the ongoing military confrontation with , as was first reported by TOI.

据《印度时报》首先报道，印度军队一直在推动购买30架“海上卫士”或MQ-9“收割者”无人机，预计耗资约30亿美元。在印中军事对峙之际中，印度将快速采购其中6架。

“With the legal technology enabling pacts in place with the US, procedural hurdles for acquisition of these high-altitude, long endurance armed drones have been cleared. The question now is of money, which is being examined,” said an official.

一位官员表示：“随着与美国的法律技术授权协议到位，购买这些高空、长航时武装无人机的程序障碍已经清除。现在的问题是钱，这也是正在研究的。”

The Communications, Compatibility and Security Arrangement (COMCASA) allows India access to advanced military platforms with encrypted and secure communications and data links like the armed drones.

《通信兼容与安全协议》（COMCASA）允许印度使用加密和安全通信和数据链接的先进军事平台，比如武装无人机。

The Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement (BECA), in turn, provides for real-time exchange of geospatial intelligence through advanced satellite imagery, topographical and aeronautical digital data for long-range navigation and pinpointed strikes against enemy targets.

基础交流与合作协议(BECA)提供了通过先进的卫星图像、地形和航空数字数据实时交换地理空间情报，用于远程导航和对敌人目标的精确打击。

Defence minister Rajnath Singh, on his part, described the signing of BECA, after the military logistics pact LEMOA in 2016 and COMCASA in 2018, as “a significant achievement” on Tuesday.

印度国防部长拉杰纳特•辛格周二称，在2016年的LEMOA协议和2018年的COMCASA军事后勤协议之后，BECA的签署是“一项重大成就”。

Apart from the proposed acquisition of unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs), which are controlled by satellite links to bomb targets far away, India is also set to work with the US in develo small-sized “drone swarms” that can overwhelm and destroy an enemy’s air defence systems.

除了拟议采购无人机(UCAVs)之外，印度还将与美国合作开发小型“无人机群”，能够击垮并摧毁敌人的防空系统。无人机由卫星控制，可轰炸遥远的目标。
