Eye on China, India & US plan sea patrols and intel sharing

针对中国，印度和美国计划开展海上巡逻并共享情报

NEW DELHI: India and the US now plan to undertake ‘sea patrols’ and share intelligence in real-time to further expand their bilateral maritime cooperation in the Indo-Pacific as well as partner in new domains of space, cyber and artificial intelligence, with an eye firmly on China, a senior defence ministry official said on Wednesday.

新德里：印度国防部一名高级官员周三表示，印度和美国现在计划开展“海上巡逻”并实时共享情报，进一步扩大两国在印太地区的双边海上合作，以及在空间、网络和人工智能等新领域的合作，密切关注中国。

“Both countries expressed willingness and there was a broad understanding on the sea patrols as well as information-sharing, through satellites and other means, during the ‘two-plus-two’ dialogue in Washington last week,” the official said.

这位官员表示：“上周在华盛顿举行的‘2 + 2’对话期间，两国表达了意愿，并就海上巡逻以及通过卫星和其他方式共享信息达成了共识。”

India and the US regularly conduct the top-notch Malabar naval exercise, along with the other two ‘Quad’ countries of Australia and Japan, as well as provide refuelling

and operational turnaround facilities to each other’s warships under a reciprocal military logistics pact.

印度和美国定期与澳大利亚和日本这两个“四方”国家一起进行马拉巴尔海军演习，并根据互惠军事后勤协议为彼此的军舰提供燃料补给和操作周转设施。

The plan to undertake sea patrols, whether in a joint or coordinated manner, will be a significant step forward in the backdrop of the increasing forays by China — which already has the world’s largest navy with 355 warships and submarines — into the Indian Ocean Region (IOR).

中国拥有世界上规模最庞大的海军，拥有355艘军舰和潜艇。在此背景下，计划以联合或协调的方式进行海上巡逻，将是向前迈出的重要一步。

With defence minister Rajnath Singh also separately meeting his US counterpart Lloyd Austin and senior Boeing and Raytheon executives as well as visiting the Indo-Pacific Command at Hawaii, there was “forward movement” on several fronts, which included “business opportunities”, the official said.

这位官员表示，随着印度国防部长拉杰纳特·辛格还分别会见了美国国防部长奥斯汀、波音公司和雷神公司的高管，并访问了位于夏威夷的印太司令部”，几个方面都有“前进的动向”，其中包括“商机”。

The US, for instance, will be sending a team to visit Indian shipyards in line with India’s offer to “maintain and repair” American warships in the region. “India told the US it can provide customized facilities in a cost-effective manner,” the official said.

例如，美国将派遣一个团队访问印度造船厂，这符合印度提出的在该地区“维护和修理”美国军舰的提议。这位官员表示：“印度告诉美国，印度可以以一种具有成本效益的方式提供设施。”

Similarly, Raytheon offered to invest $100 million for research in Bengaluru, while Boeing was “receptive” to setting up a MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) facility in India for P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft and its variants in the region.

类似地，雷神公司提出在班加罗尔投资1亿美元进行研发，而波音公司则“愿意”在印度为P-8海神海上巡逻机及其不同型号建立MRO(维护、维修和检修)设施。

Honestly we are our own to take care of Chinese self created boundary issue although moral support is good from US and some other countries. India is doing fine to continue talk with China to peacefully resolve matter.

老实说，我们要靠自己解决中印边界问题，尽管有美国和其他一些国家的道义支持是好的。印度在继续与中国对话，争取和平解决争端，做得很好。

India and US are doing their best to push Russia into China camp. China just fired a hypersonic anti carrier missile from its 10,000 ton 055 destroyer. The missile hit a mock up US carrier target 1200 km away in the Pacific. Neither US nor India has any hypersonic missiles, only RED EYES on China

印度和美国正竭尽全力将俄罗斯推入中国阵营。中国刚刚从其一万吨级055驱逐舰上发射了一枚高超音速反航母导弹。导弹击中了1200公里外太平洋上的一艘模拟美国航母目标。美国和印度都没有高超音速导弹，只会盯着中国

Fourth super power must buy submarines, Rafales from France, missiles from Israel, K9 from S. Korea. What a super power!

第四大超级大国还得从法国购买潜艇、阵风战机、从以色列购买导弹，从韩国购买K9榴弹炮。多么强大的国家啊

Information sharing, that's all. USA never supported India in its hours of need. Instead of de ocratic India, USA helped  China to grow by sharing technology and production contracts.

信息共享，仅此而已。美国从来没有在印度需要的时候支持过印度，却通过分享技术和生产合同帮助中国发展，而不是帮助印度发展。
