印媒怂恿政府采购F21战机 称可配合LCA制衡俄制苏30

印媒怂恿政府采购F21战机 称可配合LCA制衡俄制苏30

为了争夺印度空军最新一桩价值约180亿美元的114架新型战机的大单子,美国洛克希德·马丁公司长时间以来向这位潜在客户送去了不少秋波。不仅表示将向对付全面转让技术,而且还承诺要把战机生产线转移至印度。为了讨这位土豪的欢心,洛马还特意此次竭力推销的F-16 block70型战机改名为F-21,并为其设计了一句让人看了直起鸡皮疙瘩的肉麻标语——为了印度,来自印度。

鹰隼图南天外意:印度是否会青睐“私人定制”的F-21战机1/16

2月20日,印度班加罗尔航展开幕,美国洛克希德·马丁公司在航展上展出了一款全新“F-21”战机的模型,并播放了相关宣传视频。洛马公司在声明中表示,此次打造的F-21方案系为印度空军“量身定制”,且从内到外都应用了全新设计,战机将参与争夺印度空军114架新战机的庞大订单。那么洛马此时抛出所谓F-21方案有何意图,是否只是看上了印度军火市场这块巨大的蛋糕,而印度是否又会选购这款尚处在概念阶段的新型战机,本期《出鞘》为您解读。

最近,洛马战略与业务发展部门副总裁维韦克·拉尔又站出来放了个大招,称只要印度选择了F-21,那么今后它将成为印度的专属,洛马保证不会再向第三方(尤其是巴基斯坦)提供这种战机。

尽管目前印度空军对于洛马这一波求爱攻势尚未有明确表态,但一部分印度媒体对此却早已是心潮澎湃。最新一位有意劝诫印度空军购买F-21的印媒是《新印度快报》,当地时间5月17日,该报甚至还专门刊载了一篇题为《我们不能拖延战机交易》的评论文章来探讨此事。
文章中提到,购买F-21对于现阶段的印度空军而言未必就不是一个好选项。印度空军现役战斗机中队的规模已经减小到了31个,而且在进一步萎缩之中。保卫印度的空域至少需要42个战斗机中队,想要快速填补如此巨大的空缺并非易事,而成熟可靠且性能不俗的F-21无疑是满足这一需求的上佳之选。

虽然印度空军此前就已经从法国购买了一批阵风战机,但区区36架的采购总数仅能喂饱3个战斗机中队。如果能够引进F-21与阵风搭配使用,这对于印度空军而言定是锦上添花。二者同属西方战机,F-21的到来能够兼容阵风所使用的许多装备,这对于拓展印度空军军武库的多样性也是大有好处的。

文章还认为,洛马所提出的“只要印度购买了F-21,那么就可以考虑分享一部分F-22和F-35所使用的5代机技术”的建议也颇具吸引力。印度正致力于研发LCA的后续改进型号——LCA MK2,目前除了F-414型发动机之外,印度所能够获得的、并计划应用在LCA MK2身上的美国技术,都称不上有多关键。如果能借购买F-21机会引进一些美制5代机的技术,那么这对于促进LCA的生长发育也是极好的。

此外,文章中还特意提到了俄制战机统治印度空军半壁江山的现状,认为购买F-21可以平衡以苏-30MKI为代表的俄制战机在印度空军中一家独大的局面。选择了F-21就意味着印度将在政治上同美国走得更近,这对于正和中国打得火热的俄罗斯而言也算是一种警醒。尽管印度或许要为此而承受一些来自美国的政治压力,但就全局而言未必就不是一桩划算的买卖。

不过说一千道一万,所有这些假设都得以印度空军采购F-21为前提。如果印度还在引进新型战机一事上犹豫不决,那么最后造成的后果将是无法承担的。可是否做出了引进F-21的选择后就一定能为印度带来积极反馈呢?这恐怕也只有时间才作答了。(作者署名:军械喵)

In order to compete for the Indian Air Force's latest big list of 114 new fighters worth about 18 billion US dollars, Lockheed Martin has sent a lot of autumn waves to this potential customer. Not only said that it will deal with the full transfer of technology, but also promised to transfer the aircraft production line to India. In order to please the local tyrant, Loma also deliberately promoted the F-16 block70 fighter to be renamed F-21, and designed a slogan for people to see the goose bumps - for India, From India.
Eagle 隼图南天外意: Whether India will favor the "private customized" F-21 fighter 1/16

On February 20th, India's Bangalore Airways opened, and Lockheed Martin of the United States exhibited a model of a new "F-21" fighter at the air show and broadcasted relevant promotional videos. Loma said in the statement that the F-21 program was “tailor-made” for the Indian Air Force, and a new design was applied from the inside out, and the aircraft will participate in the huge order for the 114 new fighters of the Indian Air Force. . So what is the intention of Loma to throw out the so-called F-21 plan at this time, is it just to look at the huge cake of the Indian arms market, and whether India will buy this new type of fighter aircraft still in the concept stage, this issue "Out of the sheath" for your interpretation.

Recently, Vivek Lal, vice president of strategy and business development at Loma, stood up and put up a big move, saying that as long as India chooses F-21, it will become India's exclusive in the future, and Loma promises no more. This type of fighter is available to third parties, especially Pakistan.

Although the Indian Air Force has not yet made a clear statement on Loma’s wave of courtship, some Indian media have long been a whim. The latest Indian media that intends to persuade the Indian Air Force to purchase the F-21 is the New India Express. On May 17, local time, the newspaper even published a special article entitled "We Cannot Delay the Trading of Aircraft". Explore this matter.

The article mentioned that the purchase of the F-21 is not necessarily a good option for the current Indian Air Force. The size of the Indian Air Force active fighter squadron has been reduced to 31, and is further shrinking. Defending India's airspace requires at least 42 fighter squadrons. It is not easy to quickly fill such a huge vacancy, and the mature and reliable F-21 is undoubtedly the best choice to meet this demand.

Although the Indian Air Force had previously purchased a number of gusts from France, the total number of 36 purchases could only be fed to three fighter squadrons. If the F-21 can be used in conjunction with the gust, this will be a icing on the cake for the Indian Air Force. Both are Western fighters. The arrival of the F-21 is compatible with many of the equipment used in the gust, which is also beneficial for expanding the diversity of the Indian Air Force arsenal.

The article also believes that Loma's proposal that "as long as India purchases the F-21, then you can consider sharing part of the F- and F-35's 5th-generation technology" is also very attractive. India is working on the development of LCA's next-generation model, the LCA MK2. Currently, in addition to the F-414 engine, the US technology that India can obtain and plan to apply to the LCA MK2 is not critical. If you can use the F-21 opportunity to introduce some American 5th generation technology, then this is also very good for promoting the growth and development of LCA.

In addition, the article also specifically mentions the status quo of Russian warplanes ruling half of the Indian Air Force, and believes that the purchase of F-21 can balance the Russian-made fighters represented by Su-30MKI in the Indian Air Force. Choosing the F-21 means that India will be closer to the United States politically, which is a wake-up call for Russia, which is playing hot with China. Although India may have to bear some political pressure from the United States for this purpose, it is not necessarily a cost-effective deal on the whole.

However, a thousand and ten thousand, all of these assumptions are premised on the purchase of the F-21 by the Indian Air Force. If India is still hesitant to introduce new fighters, then the final consequences will be unaffordable. Can you make positive feedback for India after making the choice of introducing F-21? I am afraid that only time will be answered. (Author's signature: Military Equipment)
