India to finally induct desi Bofors next week to upgrade long-range, high-volume firepower

印度将于下周引入“本土博福斯”榴弹炮以升级远程高容量火力

NEW DELHI: In election season, the Bofors howitzers are all set to boom once again. But these artillery guns are not the original Swedish ones that brought down the Rajiv Gandhi government in 1989. Instead, they are the electronically upgraded desi Bofors versions called “Dhanush”.

新德里：在选举季，“博福斯”榴弹炮将再次成为热点。但这些火炮并不是1989年颠覆拉吉夫·甘地政府的最初要买的瑞典火炮。相反，它们是经过电子升级的“本土博福斯”版本，称为“丹努什”。

Defence officials on Friday said the formal induction ceremony for the first five of the 155mm/45-calibre Dhanush howitzers, after initial barrel bursts and protracted trials spread over six years, will finally take place at the Gun Carriage Factory in Jabalpur on March 26.

周五，国防官员表示，经过最初的炮管爆炸和6年多旷日持久的试验，首批5门155毫米/45倍口径“丹努什”榴弹炮的正式入役仪式将于3月26日在贾巴尔普尔的炮架厂举行。

Recurring scandals in India’s artillery procurement projects, from the Swedish Bofors in the mid-1980s to the South African Denel in 2005 and Singapore Technology Kinetics in 2009, stymied induction of long-range, high volume firepower in the over 13-lakh strong Army for over three decades.

从上世纪80年代中期的瑞典“博福斯”到2005年的南非“Denel”，再到2009年的新加坡“Technology Kinetics”，印度火炮采购项目不断爆出丑闻。在过去30多年里，这些丑闻阻碍了逾130万印度陆军获得远程、高容量火力。

Faced with this major critical operational gap, the combine of Army, DRDO and Ordnance Factory Board almost a decade ago kicked off work on the long-forgotten original designs obtained under transfer of technology provisions in the infamous Rs 1,437-crore Bofors contract of 1986 inked by the Rajiv Gandhi government.

面对这一重大的缺口，印度陆军、国防研究与发展组织(DRDO)和兵工厂委员会近10年前联合起来，开始研究一项早已被遗忘的原始设计，这些设计是根据拉吉夫•甘地政府1986年签署的臭名昭著的147.7亿卢比博福尔斯合同中的技术转让条款获得的。

This has finally led to the electronically upgraded Dhanush howitzer, with the 39-calibre of the original Bofors gun being upgraded to 45-calibre to increase its maxmum strike range to 27-36 km (depending on the type of ammunition used) from the earlier 24-30 km.

最终研发了电子升级的“丹努什”榴弹炮，将原博福斯火炮的39倍口径升级到45倍口径，将其最大攻击距离从早期的24-30公里增加到27-36公里(取决于使用的弹药类型)。

“There were several problems with the Dhanush guns during the trials…but most have been resolved now. The Army had earlier placed an order for 114 of these guns for Rs 1,260 crore. The first 18 guns will be delivered by March 2020. The OFB will gradually step up its production rate. Overall, the Army requires 414 such guns,” said an officer.

一位官员表示：“在试验期间，“丹努什”出现过几个问题，现在大部分问题已经解决。早些时候，印度军队订购了114门“丹努什”，价值126亿卢比。首批18门火炮将于2020年3月交付。兵工厂委员会将逐步提高其生产速度。印度陆军总共需要414门“丹努什”火炮”。

The Army last year had finally exorcised the Bofors ghost by begng to induct the M-777 ultra-light howitzers (155m/39-calibre) from the US and the K-9 Vajra tracked self-propelled guns (155mm/52-calibre) from South Korea.

印度陆军于去年开始引进美国的M-777超轻型榴弹炮(155毫米/39倍口径)和韩国的K-9 “金刚”履带式自行火炮(155毫米/52倍口径)，最终驱除了博福斯的阴影。

But though the bulk of the 145 M-777 howitzers for Rs 5,000 crore and the 100 K-9 guns for Rs 4,366 crore will “largely be assembled” in India after initial direct deliveries from the foreign manufacturers, the Dhanush is the first-ever 155mm artillery gun to be developed and produced in India.

145门M-777榴弹炮耗资500亿卢比,100门K- 9火炮耗资436.6亿卢比，在外国制造商首次直接交付后，其中大部分将“主要在印度组装”。“丹努什”是首款在印度研制的155毫米火炮。

The Dhanush is about 80% indigenous now, with only its auxliary power unit, electronic dial sights and a few other small items being imported. Officials claim the desi howitzer is better than the original Bofors in terms of range, accuracy, angle of fire and shoot-and-scoot capabilities. The Bofors howitzers, incidentally, had also proved their mettle during the 1999 Kargil conflict despite all the controversy engulfing them.

目前“丹努什”大约80%的部件是本土生产的，只有辅助动力装置、电子拨盘瞄准器和一些其他小部件是进口的。官员声称，“丹努什”榴弹炮在射程、精度、射击角度和快速射击能力方面优于原博福斯火炮。博福斯榴弹炮在1999年卡吉尔冲突中也证明了其实力，尽管所有的争议都笼罩着它们。
