NEW DELHI: Further consolidating synergy and interoperability in the Indian Ocean Region with an eye firmly on , an Indian frontline warship, fighters, helicopters and maritime patrol aircraft kicked off an exercise with a US aircraft carrier strike group in the Bay of Bengal on Sunday.

新德里：为了进一步巩固印度洋地区的协同和互操作性，印度前线军舰、战斗机、直升机和海上巡逻机周日在孟加拉湾与美国航母战斗群开始了一场演习。

The two-day bilateral exercise, as well as the forthcoming Quad-plus-France naval wargames in the same region, underline the way “like-minded de ocracies” are fast banding together to ensure “a free, open and inclusive” Indo-Pacific in the face of an “aggressive” , said a senior official.

一名高级官 员表示，为期两天的双边演习，以及即将在同一地区举行的“四方+法国”海军演习，突显出“志趣相投的国家”正在迅速联合起来，以确保“自由、开放和包容”的印太，以应对。

With the Quad, namely India, the US, Japan and Australia, declaring their firm intent to deter any “coercion” in the Indo-Pacific during a summit of their leaders on March 12, a multi-tier cooperation and coordination mechanism is now taking shape to advance security as well as counter threats in the region.

在3月12日举行的四方领导人峰会上，印度、美国、日本和澳大利亚宣布了他们在印度-太平洋地区遏制任何“胁迫”的坚定意图，一个多层次的合作与协调机制正在形成，以促进该地区的安全并应对威胁。

On Sunday, the Navy deployed stealth frigate INS Shivalik, P-8I maritime patrol aircraft and helicopters for the exercise with the mammoth nuclear-powered USS Theodore Roosevelt and its accompanying warships like the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Bunker Hill and the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers USS Russell and USS John Finn.

周日，印度海军部署了隐形护卫舰“什瓦利克号”，P-8I海上巡逻机和直升机，前往与庞大核动力航母“罗斯福号”及其随行军舰，如提康德罗加级导弹巡洋舰“邦克山号”、 伯克级导弹驱逐舰“罗素号”和“芬恩号”一起参加军演。

In a first, the IAF also deployed Sukhoi-30MKI fighters armed with BrahMossupersonic cruise missiles, which are based at the Thanjavur airbase, to “enhance jointmanship” in the exercise. “It gave IAF an opportunity to practice maritime strike and air defence with the US Navy,” said an officer.

印度空军还首次派出了苏霍伊- 30mki战机，配备布拉莫斯超音速巡航导弹，部署在坦雅武尔空军基地，以“增强联合作战能力”。一名军官表示:“这给了印度空军与美国海军演练海上打击和防空的机会。”

Good, with such Collaboration (Economically - Trade mainly, Military & security, Intel Sharing, Cyber Security, etc.) is very much needed. But we must not bog down too much - US as they look for their own gains. We need to ensure balanced ties with both Russia, US.

很好，经济贸易、军事安全、网络共享、网络安全等方面的合作是非常需要的。

不过，美国只谋求自身利益，我们不能陷入太深的困境。

我们应当努力平衡好我们与俄罗斯和美国的关系。

与其举行军演，不如把钱省下来，用来救济那些失业、减薪、面临物价上涨的印度中产阶级。印度不该参加这样的演习。

There was 7th fleet deployed during Indo-Pak war of 1971 in support of Pakistanis but Nixon was too involved with Watergate and the USA threatened India from attacking the West Pakistan. Never trust the USA as it is two timer ally.

1971年印巴战争期间，为了支持巴基斯坦，美国派出了第七舰队。尼克松当时卷入了水门事件，美国威胁印度不要进攻西巴基斯坦。永远不要相信美国，它是两面派。
