India third-largest military spender in the world after US & China

印度是世界第三大军费支出国，仅次于美国和中国

NEW DELHI: India remains ahead of Russia and the United Kingdom as the third largest military spender in the world, but far behind China that spends four times and the United States, which spends 10 times its defence budget.

新德里：印度仍然领先于俄罗斯和英国，为世界第三大军费支出国，但远远落后于中国和美国，中国的军费支出是印度的4倍，美国是印度的10倍。

The total global military expenditure rose to $2,113 billion in 2021, surpassing the two-trillion-USD mark for the first time despite the economic shocks of the Covid-19 pandemic, as per the latest data released by global think-tank Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) on Monday.

全球智库斯德哥尔摩国际和平研究所(SIPRI) 24日发布的最新数据显示，尽管受到新冠肺炎疫情的经济冲击，但2021年全球军费总额增至21130万亿美元，首次超过2万亿美元。

The five largest spenders were the US ($801 billion), which accounted for 38% of the world military spending, China (estimated $293 billion), India ($77 billion), the UK ($68 billion) and Russia ($66 billion). Pakistan was placed at the 23 spot with $11 billion.

军费开支最大的五个国家是美国(8010亿美元)，占世界军费开支的38%，中国(估计2930亿美元)，印度(770亿美元)，英国(680亿美元)和俄罗斯(660亿美元)。巴基斯坦以110亿美元排在第23位。

While China’s actual military expenditure remains shrouded in secrecy, SIPRI noted it has steadily grown for 27 consecutive years, the longest uninterrupted sequence of hikes by any country in its database.

尽管中国的实际军费支出仍处于保密状态，但斯德哥尔摩国际和平研究所指出，中国的军费支出已连续27年稳步增长，是其数据库中所有国家中持续增长时间最长的。

“India’s spending was up by 0.9% from 2020 and by 33% from 2012. Amid ongoing tensions and border disputes with China and Pakistan that occasionally spill over into armed clashes, India has prioritised the modernisation of its armed forces and self-reliance in arms production,” said SIPRI.

“印度的军费支出较2020年增长0.9%，较2012年增长33%。与中国和巴基斯坦持续的紧张局势和边界争端偶尔会演变成武装冲突，印度已经优先考虑武装部队的现代化和武器生产的自力更生。”

While SIPRI does not go into details, India certainly does not get the requisite bang for its buck. The country’s military modernisation continues to be hampered by a ballooning revenue expenditure for day-to-day running costs and salaries for the 15-lakh strong armed forces as well as a massive pension bill.

虽然SIPRI没有详细说明，但印度肯定没有得到所需的回报。该国的军事现代化继续受到日益膨胀的支出的阻碍，这些支出用于日常运营成本和150万人强大武装部队的工资，以及发放巨额的养老金。

HINDUSTAN HAS UPGRADED ITS ARMED FORCES WITH SOME OF THE LATEST ARMS AMMUNITION TECHNOLOGIES TO COUNTER AGAINST THE INVASION FROM ANY FOREIGN NATION. PEOPLE WOULD SAY THAT HINDUSTAN HAS SPENT ON JUNK ARMS BUT IT IS NOT TRUE. RATHER ONLY A FOOL WOULD SAY WHY SPEND SO MUCH ON DEFENCE OF THE NATION?

印度斯坦已经用一些最新的武器升级了武装力量，以对抗任何外国的入侵。人们会说政府把钱花在了垃圾武器上，但这不是真的。只有傻瓜才会问为什么要在国防上花这么多钱?

Zero Inch Modi

Make weapons in India? But how? My bhakts can't even make a bicycle. Only Nehruji can do atom bombs.

在印度本土制造武器？怎么造？

印度连自行车都造不出来。

只有尼赫鲁会造原子弹。

SEE HINDUSTAN SPENDS 60% OF DEFENSE BUDGET OF ON STAFF AND PENSION; WHEREAS CHINA LIMITS IT TO 30%. ONE LAKH SOLDERS ARE DEPLOYED ON CHINA BORDER FOR THE PAST ONE YEAR & MANY THOUSANDS IN KASHMIR ON LAW & ORDER. NOW, NEED IS TO UPGRADE THE DEFENSE WITH TECH TRANSFER, ETC.

看，印度斯坦把60%的国防预算用来给军人发放养老金，而中国这个比例是30%。过去一年，10万名士兵被部署在印中边境，数千名士兵被部署在克什米尔维护治安。现在需要的是通过技术转让来提升国防实力。

Imagine india goes into misery if it can defence itself from foreign aggression. India need to build its military much more to face any scenarios.

如果印度要抵御外国侵略，就需要加强军事建设，以应对任何情况。

WHAT IS THE USE OF SPENDING SO MANY BUDGETS IF YOU CAN’T PULL THE OCCUPIED LAND BY CH A & TAKING BACK LAND BY PAKI??

如果不能把被占领的土地收回来，花这么多预算有什么用?

Defense equipment is such that IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, YOU WILL NEED IT.

国防装备是这样的，没有就得买。

AND MAKE IN HINDUSTAN IS ONLY A SLOGAN .... TO MAKE IN HINDUSTAN THE MINDSET OF HINDUSTAN NEEDS TO CHANGE.

“印度制造”只是个口号....为了“印度制造”，印度人的心态需要改变。

INDIA's defence spending is for DEFENDING its EASTERN&Western BORDERS against CHINA&its partners whereas CHINA is doing to equate itself with USA to be GLOBAL.

印度国防开支大是为了保卫东西边境，抵御中国及其伙伴的攻击，而中国觉得自己和美国一样牛。

在国大党傀儡辛格的10年统治下，印度在国防领域损失惨重。莫迪是印度的救世主。尽管有新冠疫情，还能连任两届。印度必胜……

Let any country spend any amount but finally it is going into drain. Because no country is fighting wars worth what is spending for a hypothetical scenario. Each country has huge pile of nuclear assets which are sufficient to burn planet more than once. But still they keep adding. So also ammunition becomes obsolete for want of spares and aging yet wars are yet to happen.

花多少都行，但最终都是打水漂。不值得为一个假设的战争场景花费那么多。每个国家都有大量的核武器，足以摧毁地球不止一次。但是他们仍然在增加。装备因为缺少备件和老化而过时，战争还没有发生。

INDEED HINDUSTAN THE SELF-PROCLAIMED WORLD 3RD SUPER POWER MUST BUY BIG GUNS FROM SOUTH KOREA, MISSILES FROM ISRAEL, YET ALL HINDUSTANIS ARE PROUD OF IT. VERY INTERESTING, ISN’T IT.

事实上，自称世界第三超级大国的印度不得不从韩国购买大炮，从以色列购买导弹，但所有印度人都为此感到自豪。很有趣，不是吗?

我们无法在一夜之间停止进口。看看在过去的10年里，我们在本土生产了多少东西，印度正逐步从进口国变成出口国。印度导弹发展得不错。

国大党傀儡辛格的10年暴政让国家付出了沉重的代价。莫迪是印度的救世主，尽管有新冠疫情、中印对抗，还有代理人战争，他还是通过“印度自力更生”计划恢复了印度的骄傲。如果印度人民再给他一个任期，莫迪有能力让印度赶上中国和美国，印度必胜！

We need to keep improving our economy and focus on domestic production of arms and ammunition. In long term Indian defence budget will have to match the Chinese.,Unfortunately we lost like a decade because of UPA Govt lack of initiatives and another decade prior because of coalition politics at the center.

我们需要继续改善我们的经济，加大武器和弹药的本土生产。从长远来看，印度的国防预算必须赶上中国。

still no where near of US and China

仍然和中美差得远

Post-war US has been heavy spender on Defence but it does so to keep its GDP high. During WW II many peace-time Industries turned to production of Defence Materials. When the War ended , World’s need to recoup losses suffered in the War and the need for newer and improved equipment to fight the Cold War, kept the newly created War Industry in US busy. Lockheed Martin could be a prime example of this.

战后美国在国防上投入巨大，但这样做是为了保持GDP的高水平。二战期间，许多工厂转向了军工生产。战争结束后，世界各国需要弥补在战争中遭受的损失，同时需要更新和改进装备来应对美苏冷战，这使得美国新成立的战争工业忙得不可开交。洛克希德·马丁公司就是一个很好的例子。

Who will pay this huge amount of money?

这笔巨额款项由谁买单?

India is spending money on arms because,then conspiracy of England not to resolve boundary issues with China when it ruled more than hundred of years in India and put the cobra snake with the venom to bite us. England also adopted boogie of muslim Pakistan to scare us on Kashmir issue all the time. The result India has to spend that much money on defense,

印度把钱用来购买武器，是因为英国制造了中印边界问题，而英国在印度统治了几百年，让毒蛇来咬我们。

英国也一直在克什米尔问题上利用巴基斯坦来恐吓我们。结果，印度不得不在国防上花那么多钱

Sanjoy Pandey

With neighbors like Pakistan and China, defense expenditure will be high.

有巴基斯坦和中国这样的邻国，国防开支会很高。
