‘Indigenously built aircraft carrier will make India formidable force in Indo-Pacific region’

The aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, which is being built in the Cochin Shipyard, may be inducted into the Indian Navy some time in 2022-23, said the Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Eastern Naval Command, Atul Kumar Jain.

“國產航母將使印度成為印太地區的強大力量”

印度東部海軍司令部司令Atul Kumar Jain説，正在科欽造船廠建造的維克蘭特號航空母艦可能會在2022-23年的某個時候進入印度海軍服役。

The Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC) will be based in ENC and form a formidable force in the Indo-Pacific region with other assets such as the SSN (sub surface nuclear) submarines that are being proposed under Project 75 Alpha, said Vice-Admiral Jain, here on Thursday.

Jain中將在週四表示，這艘國產航空母艦將以東部海軍司令部為基地，與其他資產如75A項目提議的SSN(水下核)潛艇一道，在印度-太平洋地區形成強大力量。

Addressing the press at the annual meet, he said the Indian Navy was on the verge of becoming a formidable blue water force by tuning well with the ‘make in India’ or ‘Atma Nirbhar Bharat’.

他在年度會議上對媒體發表講話時表示，通過與“印度製造”完美結合，印度海軍即將成為一支強大的藍水部隊。

“Today, the IAC is being built in India, which will be followed by Shivalik-class multi-role frigates and Kamorta-class anti-submarine warfare corvettes. Five to 10 years down the line, we visualise a dominant naval force with indigenous capabilities. And for that to happen we need all including PSUs, Navy, MSME and startups to work together as a team,” he said.

“今天，印度正在建造IAC，隨後將是shivalik級多用途護衞艦和kamorta級反潛戰護衞艦。5到10年後，我們將看到一支具有本土能力的主導海軍力量。為了實現這一點，我們需要包括PSU、海軍、MSME和初創公司在內的所有人作為一個團隊一起工作。”

He said that bilateral and multilateral naval exercises had been yielding good results and the exercise with Japan, Russia and the USA, had been useful in checking China.

他説，雙邊和多邊的海軍演習取得了良好的效果，印度與日本、俄羅斯和美國的演習，對遏制中國是有用的。

According to him, Australia joining the Malabar exercise this year was a game changer, as now the Indian Navy drones, ships and P8I aircraft could patrol without any hindrance till Sunda Strait.

他説，澳大利亞今年參加馬拉巴爾演習改變了遊戲規則，因為現在印度海軍的無人機、軍艦和P8I飛機可以在巽他海峽之前不受任何阻礙地巡邏。

Expanding economy

The Vice-Admiral said that for the government to achieve the vision of a five trillion economy, the naval might and maritime security needed to be strengthened.

經濟擴張

這位中將説，政府要想實現5萬億美元的經濟願景，就需要加強海軍力量和海上安全。

“About 70% of the trade in value and 80% in volume happens through the sea and we have a number of threats including from China and piracy. The role of the Indian Navy is to see that trade is free of any disturbances. We have been providing security 24/7 to our merchant ships in sensitive zones such as the Gulf of Aden, but with the mounting challenge we need more assets and ‘Atma Nirbhar Bharat’ will help achieve that,” he said.

“大約70%的貿易價值和80%的交易量是通過海上實現的，但我們面臨許多威脅，包括來自中國和海盜的威脅。印度海軍的作用是確保貿易不受任何干擾。我們一直在亞丁灣等敏感地區為我們的商船提供全天候的安全保障，但隨着挑戰的加劇，我們需要更多的資產，而‘印度製造’將有助於實現這一點。”他説。

Coastal security

The chief of ENC said coastal security after 26/11 had become a priority and the ENC had been playing its role in eastern seaboard by not only maintaining a tight vigil along the long coastline but also stepping up surveillance at all entry and exit routes.

海岸安全

東部海軍司令部的負責人説，26/11之後的海岸安全已經成為首要任務，東部海軍司令部已經在東海岸發揮了它的作用，不僅對漫長的海岸線保持嚴密的警戒，而且還加強了對所有進出路線的監視。

Agreeing that China had greater numbers both in terms of manpower and naval assets, Mr. Jain pointed out that India was way ahead of Pakistan in naval might. “We have recently successfully test fired anti-ship missiles such as Uran and Brahmos. During the 1971 war, our missile corvettes had to go close to Karachi to fire the missiles, now we can fire them from beyond visual range both from ships and underwater platforms,” he said.

賈恩同意中國在人力和海軍資產方面都擁有更大的數量，但他指出，印度的海軍實力遙遙領先於巴基斯坦。“我們最近成功試射了烏蘭導彈和布拉莫斯導彈等反艦導彈。在1971年的戰爭中，我們的導彈巡洋艦必須靠近卡拉奇才能發射導彈，現在我們可以在船隻和水下平台的可視範圍之外發射導彈。”

Women were slowly being inducted into ships and combat duty. “We already have two women in INS Vikramaditya in the Western Fleet and two in INS Shakti in ENC. Very soon women will also fly naval helicopters,” he said.

女性逐漸被徵召到艦船和戰鬥崗位。他説:“我們在西部艦隊的維克拉瑪蒂亞號和南太平洋艦隊的沙克蒂號已經有兩名女性。很快，女性還將駕駛海軍直升機。”
