The Sri Lankan government is preparing to issue a request for information (RFI) in support of a programme to procure multirole combat aircraft, IHS Jane's understands.
简氏防务周刊获悉，斯里兰卡政府准备发布一项采购多用途战斗机的信息。

The programme, featuring the acquisition of between 8-12 aircraft, will be pursued through an inter-government agreement after Cabinet approval for the purchase was given on 11 August.
这一采购需求数目大概在8-12架。采购项目预计将在得到内阁8月11日批准后以政府间协议的方式开展。

An official involved in the Sri Lankan defence procurement system said the government has yet to make any decision on the make of aircraft. IHS Jane's understands that it is likely that the RFI will be followed by a tender to procure the platform from an international supplier, although a timeframe is not confirmed.
一位斯里兰卡国防采购系统的官员说政府目前对于采购哪一种飞机尚未做出任何决定。简氏防务认为采购需求信息似乎将紧跟招标活动提供给国际供应商，尽管目前时间表还没有确认。

State news in Sri Lanka had earlier cited Cabinet spokesman Gayantha Karunathilaka as saying that the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) required new combat aircraft to boost ageing inventories, maintain maritime security, and face any unexpected threat.
斯里兰卡官方新闻早些时候引述内阁发言人Gayantha Karunathilaka的说法，他说斯里兰卡空军需要新的战斗机以便支援旧的装备，维护海上安全，应对任何不确定的威胁。

He said that at present only one of seven Israel Aircraft Industries Kfir C2/C7 fighter aircraft acquired from the 1990s was operational. He added that none of the SLAF's remaining fighter aircraft fleets, comprised of a few Russian MiG-27 fighter aircraft and around seven Chinese J-7s, were operational.
他说当前，20世纪90年代从以色列采购的7架“幼师” C2/C7战斗机中的一架还可以飞行。他补充说，目前斯里兰卡空军剩余的，由少量俄制米格-27战斗机和大约7架中国制的J-7战斗机组成的飞行编队，没有一个可以正常运转。

"The government will consider all offers and will select a suitable [aircraft]," he said of the combat aircraft procurement programme.
“政府将会考虑所有的供应商，然后选择一个最合适的型号，”谈论到飞机采购项目他说道。

In January IHS Jane's reported that Sri Lanka had agreed a USD400 million deal with Pakistan to purchase up to 12 JF-17 Thunder fighter aircraft, which was developed by the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) and China's Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC).
在一月份，简氏防务周刊报道说，斯里兰卡已经跟巴基斯坦签署了一项协议，花费4亿美金采购12架由巴基斯坦航空联合体和中国成都飞机公司联合开发的JF-17“雷电”战斗机。

However, diplomatic and political pressure by India is believed to have stalled the programme. IHS Jane's reported at the time that India, which considers Sri Lanka a security partner, was anxious to prevent Pakistan and China from jointly expanding defence links with Colombo.
然而，普遍相信来自印度的外交和政治压力导致这一交易流产。当时简氏防务周刊报道说，视斯里兰卡为安全伙伴的印度，急于组织巴基斯坦和中国一同扩大与科伦坡的国防关系。http://www.janes.com/article/62956/sri-lanka-prepares-to-launch-combat-aircraft-procurement-programme
