Importance Of Military Modernisation Recognised By India | 印度认可的军事现代化的重要性
近年来,为印度军方部队购买武器装备的工作受到延期和缺乏资金的困扰,这种情况不会因预算限制放松而有所好转。
The procurement of defense equipment for the Indian armed forces has suffered from delays and lack of investment over recent years, a situation which will not be helped by budgetary limitations.
尽管如此,在修订的2020年预算和2021年预算中仍然有一些指标表明,印度的军事现代化已被视为对日益复杂的安全环境的一种回应。
Nevertheless there are indicators within the revised 2020 budget and 2021 budget that the importance of modernization is being recognized in response to an increasingly complex security environment.
印度的防务预算紧张,采购优先事项不乏资金短缺的问题,其中包括采购俄罗斯S-400防空导弹和法国“阵风”战斗机之类的承诺项目。印度还计划购买新的潜艇、海军和空军的战斗机、扫雷艇、海军和陆军直升机以及航空母舰等。在短期内,这些项目中只有极少数可能会发放出合同。
There are no shortage of procurement priorities for India’s under pressure defence budget, including committed projects like the Russian-built S-400 missile defense system and Dassault Rafale fighters. The country also has plans in place to acquire new submarines, combat aircraft for the navy and air force, minesweepers, naval and army helicopters and an aircraft carrier. Very few of these projects are likely to be placed under contract in the short term.
目前,印度空军有1900多架在役飞机。
Currently, there are more than 1,900 in-service aircraft in the Indian air force.
