印度“笑柄”空军参谋长7月要下课了，要没段子听了

奈克同学最近不断讴歌印度空军在其任内获得的优势，比如印度空军相对中国的“质量优势”，LCA的丰硕成果，新任印度空军参谋长压力大啊，若这些“优势”没了，LCA不成正果，要背好大一口黑锅了。

环球网记者李宗泽报道 印度《印度斯坦时报》6月14日报道称，印度空军参谋长、空军上将奈克日前在接受该报采访时警告说，如果印度空军无法完成其军事现代化的目标，会将竞争优势拱手让给包括中国在内的邻国。

　　印度《每日新闻与分析报》报道称，印度空军参谋长、空军上将PV•奈克(印度军队陆海空三军的最高领导人为军种参谋长，相当于空军司令)对中国第五代战机不感冒，他日前不点名地就此批评中国“不道德”。他说：“逆向工程是合乎道德的进程吗？因为我们知道，某个国家最近研发出了第五代隐形战机，但这个过程中并不包含研究与开发。这是合乎道德的吗？”

新德里媒体：中国正瞪大眼看着印度空军新司令

Norman Browne将在7月接奈克的班：

奈克: 年轻人，我把一支世界领先，素质过硬的队伍交给你了。
Norman Browne：我一定不辜负您的期望，虽然（在您任内）巴基斯坦空军与印度空军在数量上的差距在缩小（前所未有的小），但我们的数量优势不会消失，他们追不上的，您放心；虽然（在您任内）巴基斯坦空军对地精确攻击能力和BVR战力都成了气候（您和前任们领导的时候，对地攻击的MMRCA拖了10年，猴版R-77充门面，自产中程导弹屡屡挫折，但在俺任内，MMRCA不会再唱10年），但印巴两国空军实力差距不会缩短（像您当家时那样）。（这哥们儿精着呢）

China Looms Large For New Indian AF Chief

    The Indian air force (IAF) has long had big ambitions, and the pending arrival of a new leader with a broad agenda indicates there will be no easing up in efforts to strengthen the service’s capabilities.

    The first major revamp of the IAF’s order of battle—revival of border air bases to counter Chinese air force deployments, along with quick acquisitions of new weapons and systems—will be operational priorities for Air Marshal Norman Browne, who takes over as IAF chief at the end of July when Air Chief Marshal P. V. Naik retires.

    The foreign hardware inflow into India will be substantial during Browne’s time in office. His tenure as IAF chief will also likely see the signing of contracts worth tens of billions of dollars.

    One key program that Browne will have to oversee is the $12-billion Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA). This is a befitting turn of events, since Browne played a central role in navigating the MMRCA teams through the competitive process during his 2007-09 tenure as deputy chief of the IAF.

    During his time in office, the government will likely sign deals for 10 or more Boeing C-17 heavy transports, six new-generation tanker transports (the Airbus Military A330 and Ilyushin Il-78 are in the running), 22 attack helicopters, 12 heavy-lift helicopters and nearly 200 basic trainer aircraft. Browne will also be under pressure to ensure the smooth introduction of several large network-centric systems.

    The IAF also should mark several milestones under Browne’s leadership, including the entry of the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) into full operational service and the certification of India’s indigenous airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) system.

    An IAF officer who has worked closely with Browne says “his other key commitments will include giving shape to how the Indian [fifth-generation fighter aircraft] and AMCA [unmanned combat aircraft] will turn out, and getting the Tejas LCA to full operational status in the shortest possible time.” What’s more, he warns local industry that “HAL [Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd.] is going to find it has an unusually tough customer in [Browne].”

    With 3,100 hr. on aircraft that include the Russian MiG-21 and Su-30 and Anglo-French Jaguar, Browne says he believes strongly that the IAF must diversify its equipment sources and ramp up self-reliance. Israel—which has emerged as one of India’s biggest suppliers of weapons and equipment in the last seven years—is a country that Browne knows well. He established India’s defense wing in Tel Aviv in April 1997 and served as military attache there until July 2000.

    Moreover, Browne will oversee substantial changes in asset deployments aimed at giving the IAF greater reach and faster response to external threats. For nstance, the government is considering a proposal developed by Browne during his time as leader of the IAF’s most operationally sensitive theater, the Western Air Command. His plan calls for India’s Nyoma airfield, close to the Chinese border, to be developed into a full-fledged air force station with operational fighter squadrons.

    Last October, Browne indicated that the IAF would consider basing detachments of new-generation fighters, such as Su-30MKIs, at its high-altitude border bases.

    Force parity with Pakistan—and to a much larger extent, China—will be a major preoccupation for the new chief in the face of dwindling aircraft numbers. While a recent report by India’s tri-service Integrated Defense Staff sounded a note of warning about how Indian-Pakistani force parities were at an all time low, Browne is more sanguine. He was previously quoted as saying that “the asymmetry between the capabilities of both air forces was a certain amount in the past, but this [is now] somewhat reduced. The Pakistani air force is going in for a fast-track induction of beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles and precision-guided munitions. These are things that actually tend to reduce the gap. But they won’t catch up.”
