印度时报：忘却1962，印度已不再是1962年战争时期不堪一击的印度

Forget 1962, India now better poised to deter the Dragon

忘却1962，印度现在已做好准备应对中国巨龙

NEW DELHI: The swift dragon can be held to a stalemate, even though it may be able to inflict some damage by breathing fire.

新德里：腾飞的巨龙可能被逼入困局，只能通过喷火搞一些小破坏。

India is militarily no longer the pushover it was during the 1962 war despite persisting critical operational and infrastructure gaps as well as the ever-expanding military asymmetry with China.

在军事方面，印度已不再是1962年中印战争时期不堪一击的印度了，尽管在关键操作、基础设施缺口及持续扩大的对华军事不对等问题依然存在。

This is the assessment of top Indian military commanders, who contend they are being realistic, even as PM Narendra Modi heads to China later this week to reset ties and cool down tempers with the neighbour.

正当总理纳伦德拉·莫迪将于本周晚些时候前往中国，与邻国恢复关系、缓和局势的时候，印度最高军事指挥官发表以上评论，他们认为自己是实事求是的。

“India does not want war. But if the push comes to shove, we are prepared. China has been forced to grudgingly accept that India is no pushover after repeatedly testing our resolve over the last few years, especially during the Doklam troop face-off,” a senior official said.

一名高级官员说：“印度不想打仗。但如果事态严重，我们已做好应对准备。在过去几年中，尤其是在洞朗对峙期间，中国一再试探我们的决心，这让中国不得不勉强接受印度已经不再是不堪一击的国家了。”

Some may dub this gungho approach foolhardy, given the People’s Liberation Army’s overwhelming superiority in terms of sheer military power.

一些人可能会认为这是有勇无谋的行为，因为中国人民解放军在军事力量方面的优势是压倒性的。

Apart from a huge nuclear missile arsenal that dwarfs India’s, China is also leagues ahead in conventional military power, be it submarines and fighters or tanks and artillery. China also adroitly combines this “hard power” with “smart power” in terms of cyber warfare and other disruptive capabilities.

除了庞大的核导弹武器库使印度相形见绌，中国在潜艇、战斗机、坦克和大炮等常规军事力量方面也遥遥领先于印度。中国在网络战争和其他破坏性能力方面还巧妙地将“硬实力”与“巧实力”结合起来。

But a walkover like 1962, it will not be. With Chinese military capabilities mainly geared toward preventing interventions by the US and others in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea, it all comes down to what the PLA can “actually throw” at India along the 4,057-km Line of Actual Control stretching from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh.

但1962年那样溃不成军的败退将不复存在。由于中国的军事实力主要是为了防止美国和其他国家对台湾海峡和南中国海的干预，因此实际上就看中国人民解放军能在从拉达克到阿鲁纳恰尔邦长达4,057公里的实际控制线上“实际上向印度发射”什么。

“The terrain does not give the PLA adequate space for manoeuverability. And we have the capability to counterattack,” a senior Army officer said. India has 15 infantry divisions (each with over 12,000 soldiers) tasked for its borders with China, apart from several artillery, missile, tank and air defence regiments.

“那里的地形无法为中国人民解放军提供足够的空间来进行军事演习。而我们有实力进行反击，”一名高级军官说。印度有15个步兵师(每个师都有超过12000名士兵)，以及若干炮兵、导弹、坦克和防空部队负责边防。

Moreover, the new 17 Mountain Strike Corps, with a total of 90,274 soldiers for “swift ground offensive capabilities,” will be fully raised by 2021-2022. “PLA would require a combat ratio of at least 6:1 for mountain warfare along the LAC,” he added.

此外，新成立的17个山地突击部队，具备“快速地面进攻能力”的士兵共计有90274名，这一数字还将在2021-2022年全面提高。他补充说：“中国人民解放军将需要至少6:1的战斗比才能适应实际控制线一带的山地作战。”

In the maritime domain, Indian warships can easily choke China’s sea lanes for its energy imports. “The PLA Navy may be much larger but in terms of operational expertise and experience in the Indian Ocean, they are behind,” a senior naval officer said.

在海军方面，印度军舰可以很容易地扼住中国的海上通道以获取能源。一名海军高级官员说：“中国海军的规模可能要大得多，但就其在印度洋的作战专长和经验而言，他们是落伍的。”

Though China has 14 major airfields, advanced landing grounds and helipads on the Tibet Plateau, IAF can conceivably outgun its adversary.

虽然中国在青藏高原有14个重要机场，先进的降落场和直升机停机坪，但印度空军可以让它的对手输得心服口服。

For one, the weapon and fuel-carrying capacity of Chinese fighters is limited by the 9,000- to 10,000-feet altitude of their airbases.

举例来说，中国战斗机的武器和燃料运送能力受其位于9000 - 10000英尺海拔高度的空军基地的限制。

The overall aim is to build credible strategic deterrence to dissuade China from embarking on misadventures. India is slowly but steadily getting there.

印度的总体目标是建立可靠的战略威慑，阻止中国开始冒险。印度正在缓慢而稳步地实现这一目标。

China warned India in 1959 that it would take Aksai Chin Indian territory. Dalai Lama wanted Tibet to merge with India. Nepal wanted to merge with India. UN security council seat was offered to India but Nehru denied. Finally, China attacked India in 1962 and defeated us mercilessly. Modi and we all nationalists will take back Aksai Chin and Tib*t if Modi remain PM for another 2 terms.

中国在1959年警告印度，它将占领阿克赛钦印度领土。达赖喇嘛希望西藏与印度合并。尼泊尔想与印度合并。联合国安理会为印度提供了一个席位，但尼赫鲁拒绝了。最终，中国在1962年进攻印度并无情地击败了我们。如果莫迪总理再连任两届，莫迪和我们所有的民族主义者将夺回阿克赛钦和西藏。

So... my opinion is India is ready for China..? No we need more modernisation of our armed forces either in conventional or non- conventional. We can take China likely coz China is far ahead of us.

那么，我应该认为印度已做好准备应对中国了？不，我们需要把军队在常规和非常规方面建设得更加现代化。这样我们才有可能打败中国，因为中国实在遥遥领先于我们。

Whole World recognizes any country strength on economy, military power, agriculture, and the patriotism towards their country. If these four are there no country dare any other country to misadventure.

That is a New India under Modi, trying to dissuade dragon from any misadventure at LAC by building military and infrastructure capacity at par. we are not in Nehruvian hypocrisy of Hindi-Chini bhai-bhai and get betrayed

那是在莫迪的领导下的新印度，努力通过建立军事和基础设施实力来阻止中国巨龙带来的灾难。我们已经不再处于伪善的尼赫鲁时期，高呼印度中国亲如兄弟，却遭到背叛的印度了。
