US curbs loom, but India works to induct Russia S-400 systems

美国制裁在即，印度仍着手引进俄罗斯S-400系统

NEW DELHI: Undeterred by the threat of US sanctions, India is going full steam ahead with its induction plan for the advanced S-400 Triumf surface-to-air missile systems from Russia. Ahead of the deliveries begng in September-October, a large IAF team will be leaving for Russia later this month.

新德里：印度没有被美国制裁的威胁吓倒，正全速推进从俄罗斯引进先进的S-400地对空导弹系统的计划。交付将从9月至10月开始，在此之前印度空军的代表团将于本月晚些时候前往俄罗斯。

All five mobile squadrons of the S-400 air defence systems, under the $5.43 billion (Rs 40,000 crore) contract inked with Russia in October 2018, will be progressively delivered by April 2023.

根据2018年10月与俄罗斯签署的价值54.3亿美元(合4000亿卢比)的合同，5套S-400防空系统将在2023年4月前逐步完成交付。

The highly-automated S-400s, which can detect, track and destroy hostile strategic bombers, jets, spy planes, missiles and drones at a range of 380-km, will be “suitably positioned in the western, northern and eastern sectors” to cater for threats from both and Pakistan, say defence ministry sources.

印度国防部消息人士称，高度自动化的S-400可以探测、追踪和摧毁380公里范围内的敌方战略轰炸机、喷气式战机、间谍机、导弹和无人机，将“适当部署在西部、北部和东部地区”，以应对来自和巴基斯坦的威胁。

An initial team of almost 100 officers and airmen will leave for Russia in the last week of January for training in operations and maintenance of the “massive” S-400 systems. “A second IAF team will follow suit after a few months. With the deliveries begng this September-October, the first S-400 squadron should become operational in India by end-2021 or early-2022,” said a source on Sunday.

由近100名军官组成的首批团队将在1月的最后一周前往俄罗斯，接受S-400系统的操作和维护培训。“印度空军的第二个团队将在几个月后前往。交付将从今年9月至10月开始，首个S-400中队将于2021年底或2022年初在印度投入使用。”

The S-400, which will “revolutionize India’s air defence capabilities”, will have missiles with interception ranges of 120, 200, 250 and 380-km as well as battle-management systems of command posts and launchers, long-range acquisition and engagement radars, and all-terrain transporter-erector vehicles.

S-400将“彻底改变印度的防空能力”，该导弹拦截射程为120公里、200公里、250公里和380公里，还拥有作战管理系统，包括指挥所和发射器、远程探测和作战雷达，以及全地形运输架设车。

The US has imposed financial sanctions on and Turkey for inducting the S-400 systems from Russia. India had earlier mounted a major diplomatic-military campaign to convince the Trump administration, stressing the S-400 acquisition was a “urgent national security requirement” for it.

由于和土耳其从俄罗斯引进S-400系统，美国对两国实施了金融制裁。印度早些时候发起了一场重大的外交军事行动，以说服特朗普政府，强调购买S-400是由于“紧迫的国家安全要求”。

As reported by TOI earlier, India has assured it will “never compromise the operational secrecy” of the weapon systems it has bought or will buy from the US, while pointing to its unblemished record of not passing sensitive military information of a country to a third party.

正如《印度时报》早些时候报道的那样，印度保证“永远不会损害从美国购买的或将从美国购买的武器系统的操作机密性”，同时指出，印度从未将一个国家的敏感军事信息传递给第三方。

Big mistake to induct S-400. What's the point? has it and soon Pakistan and Iran will have it too. So no gain, it total balance. Dump these Russian junk, never battle-tested S-400, nobody has ever seen if these work in real battle situation.

引进S-400是大错特错，有什么意义?

有S-400，很快巴基斯坦和伊朗也会有。所以没有意义。

扔掉这些俄罗斯垃圾，S-400从来没有经过实战测试的，没人见过它们在实战中是否有效。
