俄罗斯专门为印度研制的Su-30MKI战斗机

The Indian Air Force (IAF) is seeking 50 additional Russian Sukhoi Su-30MKI multi-role fighters to counter the burgeoning air combat fleets of close allies but neighbouring nuclear rivals Pakistan and China.

Air Chief Marshal P V Naik recently declared that the IAF was "interested" in acquiring the extra Su-30MKIs, which would form the mainstay of India's fighter fleet for the foreseeable future to further enhance its combat potential.

This was in addition to the 238 twin-seat Su-30 MKIs already procured from Russia for USD8.5 billion in three separate deals since the mid-1990s, of which around 105 have so far been inducted.

Of the 238 Su-30MKIs, 140 are being built locally under licence by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited in Bangalore, southern India, in a programme scheduled for completion by 2015.

"We need to develop certain capabilities which are required, or will be required in the future, in tune with India's aspirations," ACM Naik said in New Delhi earlier this month, ahead of the IAF's 77th birthday on 8 October.

The IAF has long maintained that it seeks to project power and develop strategic reach stretching from the Strait of Hormuz near the Persian Gulf to the Malacca Strait in the South China Sea, which India has deemed to be its primary area of geopolitical interest.

A few days earlier ACM Naik had bemoaned that the IAF's fighter strength was "inadequate" – a mere one third the size of China's. The force is therefore opting for more acquisitions.

印度寻求更多苏霍伊战斗机以跟上邻国

印度空军（IAF）正在寻求增加50架俄罗斯Su- 30MKI多用途战斗机，以对付战斗机机队数量不断增加的接壤的拥有核武器的竞争对手，巴基斯坦和中国。
空军元帅光伏奈克最近宣称，印度空军“有兴趣”获得额外的苏30MKIs，这将成为可预见的将来印度的战斗机的主力机种和进一步提高其作战潜力。
这是除自90年代中期开始的三个单独的，价值为USD8.5亿元的从俄罗斯所采购的238架Su-30MKI交易之外新增的数量，前面的交易有约105架到目前为止已经到货。
238架Su-30MKI中140架由印度南部位于班加罗尔的印度斯坦航空有限公司按许可证生产，这一计划将于2015年完成生产。
“我们需要发展某些能力，这些与印度的期望吻合的需求可能目前需要的也可能是未来必须的”ACM 奈克本月初在新德里表示，当时是在印度空军的77岁生日10月8日的前夕。
印度空军长期以来致力于寻求在从霍尔木兹海峡附近的波斯湾到马六甲海峡在南中国海上的区域突显实力和进行战略发展，印度将这些地区视为它的地缘政治利益的主要领域延伸。
几天前ACM奈克曾哀叹说，印度空军的战机实力“不够”---仅为中国的三分之一大小，因此空军选择了采购。
