India’s first indigenous bomber UAV unveiled in Bengaluru

印度首架国产轰炸机无人机在班加罗尔亮相

BENGALURU: Flying Wedge Defence and Aerospace Technologies, an Indian defence and aerospace company, Friday marked a milestone in Bengaluru by unveiling the FWD-200B, pegged to be the country’s first indigenous bomber unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

The FWD-200B is a medium-altitude, long-endurance (MALE) unmanned combat aerial vehicle designed and manufactured entirely in India.

周五，印度国防和航空航天公司飞楔防务和航空航天技术公司在班加罗尔发布了FWD-200B，是印度国产无人机历史上的一个重要里程碑，FWD-200B被视为印度第一款国产轰炸无人机。

FWD-200B是一种中空长航时无人战斗机，是印度完全自主设计和制造的。

With a payload capacity of 100 kgs, it can carry optical surveillance payloads as well as precision air-strike weapons, the firm said.

Addressing the unveiling ceremony in Bengaluru, Suhas Tejaskanda, founder, Flying Wedge Defence, said the FWD-200B fulfils India’s long-awaited dream of producing a combat UAV indigenously after years of failed attempts by agencies like the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

该公司说，该无人机的有效载荷为100公斤，可以携带光学监视有效载荷和精确空袭武器。

飞楔防务公司创始人Suhas Tejaskanda在班加罗尔举行的揭幕仪式上表示，FWD-200B实现了印度盼望已久的自主生产作战无人机的梦想，此前印度国防研究与发展组织等机构多年来一直在尝试自主生产作战无人机。

真是好消息，希望能进一步测试和完善。印度的成功表明了，在印度国防研究与发展组织和政府的积极支持下，印度应该鼓励私人企业参与国防工业

Doesn't look sleek or aerodynamic. My honest rating is 4 out of 10. Should be opening up for foreign labs to bid on this. Probably carrying a lot more weight than necessary.

看起来线条不够流畅，也不符合空气动力学。老实说，我只会打4分(满分10分)。应该让外国实验室都来竞标。可能搭载了太多不必要的重量。

This is a bomber UAV not a regular UAV. Need to carry heavy pay load 100 kg bombs and deliver in precision.,sleek design is secondary for bomber.

这是轰炸无人机，可不是普通的无人机。需要携带100公斤的重型炸弹，并精确击打目标。对于轰炸机，线条流畅的设计倒没那么重要。

很高兴看到印度竟然有人对印度制造有着如此深刻的理解，你可以用自己的建议申请到大笔贷款。

Good timing do declare such news, but bit too late for BJP as it's still going to lose the election. Congratulations to the engineers and all the people involved in develo this bomber. Very proud moment for our country. However it is insane to politicise such achievements and especially giving credit to Modi.

在这个时间点宣布这一消息，真的很棒，但对人民党来说还是有点晚了，因为人民党还是会输掉选举的。祝贺工程师和所有参与研发这款轰炸机的人。这是我们国家的骄傲时刻。但如果把这些成就政治化就太蠢了，特别是把功劳都归功于莫迪。

Great job by Indian company! The US and EU arms industry dictate monopolistic prices and can deny India critical spares or weapons in the event of a war! Remember that during the Kargil war the US denied GPS access to India to fire GPS based locked-in and homing in missiles on Pakis on the mountain tops which resulted in manual assault by Indian soldiers climbing up from a position of disadvantage!!

印度公司真是好样的！美国和欧盟军工行业垄断了定价，一旦发生战争，他们就可以拒绝为印度提供关键备件或武器！别忘了，在卡吉尔战争期间，美国就不让印度使用GPS向山顶上的巴基斯坦发射基于GPS的锁定和制导导弹，印度士兵不得不从劣势位置攀爬，发动手动攻击！！

As usual, India announces, Indians cheer and praise their scientists,BJP and Modi. Then, crash and nothing

就跟往常一样，印度宣布新闻，印度人欢呼颂扬他们的科学家、人民党和莫迪。然后，坠机了，什么都不剩。

Super power India first UAV bomber. What achievement! Both Ukraine and Russia should buy Indian drones now, rather than from China, Turkey and Iran.

超级大国印度的第一架无人机轰炸机。多么伟大的成就！乌克兰和俄罗斯现在都应该购买印度无人机，不要再向中国、土耳其和伊朗购买了。

Engines. Unitil India designs and builds its own super powerful defence and commercial aircraft, drone and helicopter engines, India can't be called self reliant.

还有发动机问题。在印度设计和打造自己的超强国防和商用飞机、无人机和直升机的发动机之前，印度还不能算是真正实现了自力更生。

welcome news, but comparison with Reaper is unfair.. Reaper is far advanced in all aspects.. this drone can best be compared with Predator which was a predecessor of Reaper!!

这真是令人振奋的消息，但拿它跟死神对比不公平。死神在各方面都很先进。这种无人机比较适合跟死神的前身捕食者作对比！

The real bombers carry air to,ground missiles which are heavier than this UAV's dry weight. MQ-9 carries smaller air to ground missiles meant for littoral waters security as well as eliminating smaller targets like the drone strikes in Pakistan.

真正的轰炸机携带的空对地导弹比无人机的自重还要重。MQ-9可以携带较小的空地导弹，可以维护沿海水域安全并消灭较小的目标，比如在巴基斯坦的无人机袭击。
