Cabinet Committee on Security gives go-ahead to indigenous 5th-gen stealth fighter project

印度内阁安全委员会批准国产第五代隐形战机项目

NEW DELHI: India will now finally develop its own ambitious fifth-generation stealth fighter, the swing-role advanced medium combat aircraft (AMCA) capable of achieving supersonic cruise speeds with relative ease, at an initial cost of over Rs 15,000 crore.

新德里：印度雄心勃勃的第五代隐形战斗机项目终将启动了，这种先进中型战斗机(AMCA)能够相对轻松实现超音速巡航，初始成本超过1500亿卢比。

The cabinet committee on security (CCS) approved the long-pending full-scale engineering development of five prototypes of the indigenous twin-engine AMCA, along with a structural test specimen, extensive flight testing and certification, by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) of DRDO, sources told TOI.

消息人士告诉《印度时报》，内阁安全委员会(CCS)批准了印度国防研究与发展组织(DRDO)航空发展局(ADA)长期悬而未决的5架国产双引擎AMCA原型机的全面工程开发，以及结构测试样本、广泛飞行测试和认证。

The CCS also cleared the procurement of 34 more Dhruv twin-engine advanced light helicopters Mark-III, 25 for the Army and nine for the Coast Guard, from Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) for well over Rs 8,000 crore. They will add to the around 300 such 5.5-tonne class choppers already inducted by the armed forces.

内阁安全委员会还批准从印度斯坦航空公司(HAL)采购34架“北极星”双引擎先进轻型直升机Mark-III，其中25架分配给陆军，9架给海岸警卫队，价格超过800亿卢比。这两架直升机将加入到已服役的约300架5.5吨级直升机的行列中。

The first AMCA prototype, as per projected timelines, will “roll out” in four years, and then make its maiden flight another year after that. “It will take 9-10 years for the actual production of AMCA by HAL to begin after all the development and flight-testing of prototypes. So, IAF will begin inducting them after 2035,” a source said.

根据项目的时间表，第一架AMCA原型机将在四年内“推出”，然后再过一年进行首飞。“在所有原型机的开发和飞行测试之后，HAL将需要9-10年的时间才能开始实际生产AMCA。因此，将在2035年后开始进入印度空军服役。”

Advanced stealth features in the 25-tonne AMCA will range from “serpentine air-intake” and an internal bay for smart weapons to radar absorbing materials and conformal antenna. It will be able to achieve supersonic cruise speeds without the use of afterburners as well as have data fusion and multi-sensor integration with AESA (active electronically scanned array) radars.

25吨的AMCA的先进隐身功能将包括“蛇形进气口”和智能武器的内部舱，以及雷达吸收材料和保形天线。能够在不使用加力燃烧室的情况下实现超音速巡航，并具有数据融合和与有源电子扫描阵列(AESA)雷达的多传感器集成。

An indigenous aircraft engine is very important for both of India's future passenger and fighter planes. The BJP has to be at the centre for at least 15 more years at all costs.All anti-national forces will try to stop India's developed-nation dream.

国产飞机发动机对印度未来的客机和战斗机都非常重要。必须不惜一切代价让人民党至少再执政15年。所有反国家势力都在阻止印度实现发达国家梦。

India can’t afford to lose Modi/BJP for atleast next 10-20 years.

至少在未来10-20年里，印度承担不起失去莫迪和人民党的后果。

AMCA will surely fly over the sky of India if BJP govt. stays for longer, otherwise if CONgress or its allies comes in power then again they will throw all this projects away to loot India in the name of foreign products(similar to bullet train project delay by Udhav and Congress sena, Tejas project, Dam on Ravi river etc). This is 1 more reason to keep giving vote to Modi and BJP.

如果人民党政府继续执政，AMCA肯定能在印度上空飞行，否则，如果国大党或其盟友掌权，他们将再次选择外国产品，抛弃所有国内项目，比如高铁项目延期、光辉战机项目延期、拉维河大坝延期等。

这是继续给莫迪和人民党投票的又一个理由。

In the last 40 years or so the governments have intentionally destroyed our defence capabilities and killed the domestic industry with some imports in order to make money. Now this government has reversed this with intention to make as much in India as possible and make India a credible power to rival China. Well done . Continue this . In 10 years or so we will make ourselves a notable power.

在过去40年，为了赚钱，前政府故意摧毁了我们的国防能力，并通过进口扼杀了国内工业。现任政府已经扭转了这一局面，意图在印度制造尽可能多的东西，使印度成为一个与中国竞争的可信大国。干得好，继续这样做吧。在10年左右的时间里，我们将一跃成为一个举世瞩目的大国。

Government must also push for commercial passenger plane where there is monopoly of Boeing and Airbus. As Brazil can do Embraer, India can do it too.

政府也必须推动波音和空客垄断的商用客机的研发。巴西可以发展巴西航空工业公司，印度也可以。

Give indigenous jet engine project to many universities in india , somebody will succeed , when you give it just one place to make it can't happen ,why it's like that ? That's universal Maya. Give jet engine project to some 50 universities and give serious funding and allow all of them get inducted as scientists also . Later this same universities can be given another project funding etc . Just funding drdo alone can't give any result always .

把国产喷气发动机项目交给印度的大学，总有一所会成功的。交给一个公司做，可能没结果。把喷气发动机项目交给大约50所大学，给大笔资金，让他们去研发。仅仅资助DRDO并不一定会产生结果。

Let us first establish that we can produce a better version of Kalashnikov or AK.

先确定我们能否生产更先进的卡拉什尼科夫冲锋枪或AK47吧。

Indigenization of the defence requirements is long overdue. It is time for Indian leadership to sink internal differences, reduce unnecessary and extravagant expenses on elections and freebies and to spare money for Research and Development not only in defence but also in aviation and electronics and smartphone industries.

国防需求的本土化早就应该实现了。印度领导层是时候消除内部分歧了，减少不必要的、奢侈的选举开支和免费品，把钱花在国防、航空、电子和智能手机行业的研发上。

Great begng though it is far far down the line for India to have its own indigenous engines for which otherwise it is still dependent on import.

好的开始，尽管印度研发成功国产发动机还有很长的路要走，如果不行动只能一直依赖进口。

If all defence equipments are manufactured in India there shall be no work for kickbacks family.

如果所有国防装备都在印度制造，那就没“回扣党”的事了。

We should invest more to make our own jet engines to be truly independent

我们应该加大投资，独立自主研发国产喷气发动机

See the effect of Turkey's fifth generation fighter plane.

看看土耳其第五代战斗机的效果。

It may be too late as even Pakistan is getting two different models of 5th Gen Fighters J-31 and J-20 from China. At present, our country may procure at least 180 fighters of F-35 or SU-57 which may prove to be stop gap programme till our own fighter is developed. Moreover, it is beyond comprehension as to why our country is not develo HIGH TECH DRONES which may be better than predater B drone of US as we are IT Super Power and are capable of producing lethal drones. In Ukrain Russia War also, Drones have played better role than fighters.

可能太迟了，就连巴基斯坦也从中国购买了两种不同型号的第五代战斗机歼-31和歼-20。

目前，我们国家可能会采购至少180架F-35或苏-57战斗机，这可能是一个权宜之计，直到国产战斗机开发出来。

此外，我们是IT超级大国，有能力生产强大的无人机，为什么我们国家不开发比美国捕食者-B无人机更好的高科技无人机，这是不可理解的。

在俄乌战争中，无人机也比战斗机发挥了更好的作用。

M Saxena

We are IT super power ? Tell me one thing made in India used by rest of the world ? Silent ? We have the largest IT coolies in the world. US is IT superpower - because they make every chip and software being used by everybody else.

我们是IT超级大国？列举一个其他国家在用的印度软件吧？我们有世界上最庞大的IT苦力。美国是IT超级大国，因为所有人使用的芯片和软件都是他们制造的。

Don't compare buying/ borrowing a third class technology with what is being developed by Indian Engineers..

不要拿购买或借来的三流技术与印度工程师正在开发的技术进行比较。

Mithilesh Kumar

After 75 years of Independence we are planning to go for 5th Generation Stealth, though late but it is most welcome news for the military strength of the country, for making the Airforce and the country more strong and lethal..

独立75年后，我们计划研发第五代隐形战机，虽然有点迟，但这对提升国家的军事实力来说是好消息，能使空军更加致命，国家更加强大。

Indian Abroad

If the engine is not indigenous, the plane is not indigenous.

如果发动机不是国产的，那飞机就不算国产的。

Making more and more announcements before elections costs nothing..after election ‘ woh toh jumla tha’

在选举前发表再多声明都可以，但在选举后“会兑现吗?”
