路透新德里5月27日 - 印度国防部周二表示,印度国防部长已经批准了建造该国最先进隐形战斗机的框架。在与邻国巴基斯坦发生军事冲突数周后,印度与巴基斯坦展开了新一轮军备竞赛。
印度国防部表示,印度航空发展局$(ADA.AU)$正在执行该计划,不久将邀请国防公司就开发该战机原型机提交初步意向书,并预想该战机为一款双引擎第五代战斗机。
该项目对印度空军至关重要,因为印度空军中主要由俄罗斯和前苏联飞机组成的中队已从核定的42架减至31架,而竞争对手中国正在迅速扩充空军。巴基斯坦则拥有中国最先进的战机之一--歼-10。
印度国防部在一份声明中说,印度将与一家国内公司合作开展隐形战斗机项目,各公司可以独立竞标,也可以合资竞标。国防部并补充说,民营和国有企业都可以来参与投标。(完)
