Self reliance: 1-in-2 Tejas fighters to have desi radar

自力更生：一半“光辉”战机将搭载国产雷达

BENGALURU: In a major boost to indigenous defence technologies, at least 51% of the 123 LCA Tejas fighters that will be inducted into the Indian Air Force (IAF) will have the desi Uttam radar, replacing Israeli radars that the first batch of aircraft will be equipped with.

班加罗尔：印度空军将投入使用的123架LCA“光辉”战机中，至少51%会用国产Uttam雷达，取代以色列雷达（第一批将搭载以色列雷达），极大推动了自主国防技术。

In all, IAF will get 123 Tejas fighters: 40 in initial and final operational clearance (IOC and FOC) configurations and 83 Tejas Mark-1A, orders for which were placed in the first week of February. While the first 40 will have mechanical radars (all Israeli), 83 Mk-1A planes will have Active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars.

印度空军总共将列装123架“光辉”战机：40架有初始和最终操作许可(IOC和FOC)， 83架光辉Mark-1A订单是在2月的第一周下的。首批40架将配机械雷达(全部是以色列的)，83架Mk-1A将配备有源电子扫描阵列(AESA)雷达。

“We will have the Uttam radar from the 21st Tejas Mk-1A to be produced. Uttam has performed better than anticipated in the trials so far. We’ve already signed an MoU with HAL,” DRDO chairman Sateesh Reddy told TOI.

印度国防研究与发展组织(DRDO)主席Sateesh Reddy告诉《印度时报》：“到目前为止，Uttam雷达在试验中的表现比预期的要好。我们已经和印度斯坦航空公司签订了合作备忘录。””

This means 63 of the 83 will be indigenous Uttam radars developed by LRDE (Electronics and Radar Development Establishment), a DRDO lab in Bengaluru. The TOI had reported in 2019 that Uttam radars were likely to replace the AESA radars — the EL/M 2052 — from Israeli firm ELTA.

这意味着83架中有63架将搭载印度国产Uttam雷达，由印度国防研究与发展组织(DRDO)设在班加罗尔的实验室LRDE(电子和雷达发展机构)开发。《印度时报》在2019年报道称，Uttam雷达或取代以色列ELTA公司的EL/M 2052 AESA雷达。

This is in line with the Centre’s push for increasing indigenous content in defence equipment and will enable HAL to increase the same on Tejas from the present 52%.

这与印度政府推动提升武器装备国产化的努力相一致，印度斯航空公司的“光辉”战机的零件国产化率会从目前的52%提高到更高水平。

Cant believe we are making fighter jets within 6 years of NDA in power

人民党执政6年。我们就能造战机了，简直不敢相信

Govt should try to produce all military hardware and ammunitions with production facilities distributed over different states instead of locating them mostly in the south. This is of paramount importance for national security, integrity and unity.

印度的军事装备和弹药都应该努力实现自主生产，生产设施应分布在不同的邦，而不是主要集中在南部。这对国家的安全、完整和统一至关重要。

The only people who laughed at mr. Modi are the trechouress congress. They are nothing but a bunch of thugs and looters who have now resorted to create trouble for the nation. Mr. Modi needs to take serious steps to clip the wings of rahul gandhi.

唯一嘲笑莫迪的人是国大党。他们只是一群暴徒和抢劫者，忙着给国家制造麻烦。莫迪先生应当采取严厉措施来压制拉胡尔。

Well done and hats off for Indian Scientists..! Next challenge is to develop a fully functional indegenous Jet Engine which when developed will open the doors for manufacturing of several other types of aircrafts and passenger aircrafts which will ultimately save billions of dollars for India..!

干得好，向印度科学家致敬!

下一个挑战是研发一款全功能的国产喷气发动机，一旦研发成功，将为印度制造其他几种型号的战机和客机打开大门，最终为印度节省数十亿美元!

Indian engineers and scientists are great. They develop great products such as the LCA. Therefore credit goes to the engineers and scientists of India. STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) is important so India stays ahead of the curve be it in computers, aeronautical sciences, space, vaccines, textiles, nuclear energy or anything else.

印度工程师和科学家很棒。他们开发了诸如“光辉”战机这样的伟大产品。

功劳归于印度的工程师和科学家。

STEM(科学技术工程数学)很重要，印度应当在计算机、航空科学、太空、疫苗、纺织、核能等领域保持领先。
