As India continues to consider options for the acquisition of a next generation fighter jet from Russia - seeking to provide its Air Force with a new heavyweight high performance combat jet to counter the fast growing capabilities of its neighbours - Russian Trade and Industry Minister Denis Manturov has reiterated that a contract for joint manufacture of such an aircraft incorporating Indian defence technologies remains possible.
隨著印度繼續考慮從俄羅斯購買下一代戰鬥機的選擇-尋求向其空軍提供新的重量級高性能戰鬥機，以對抗其鄰國快速增長的能力-俄羅斯貿易和工業部長丹尼斯·曼圖羅夫(Denis Manturov)重申，與印度國防技術相結合的此類飛機的聯合制造合同仍有可能。
Russia is marketing a number of high end combat jets to India, and alongside continued sales of MiG-29 and Su-30MKI fighters the country is also expected to purchase the Yak-130 fighter-trainer and the MiG-35 next generation medium fighter in the near future.
俄羅斯正在向印度銷售一些高端戰鬥機，除了繼續銷售米格-29和蘇-30MKI戰鬥機外，預計該國還將在不久的將來購買Yak-130戰鬥機教練機和米格-35下一代中型戰鬥機。
An offer to upgrade Indian Su-30 fighters to a ‘4++ generation’ standard is also under consideration - under which the jets would integrate new AL-41 thrust vectoring engines, Irbis-E radars and possibly R-37M hypersonic long range air to air missiles.
印度SU-30戰鬥機升級到“4+一代”標準的提議也在考慮之中-根據這一提議，噴氣式飛機將集成新的AL-41推力矢量引擎，Irbis-E雷達，可能還有R-37M高超音速遠程空對空導彈。

India has shown a strong interest in Russia’s Su-57 next generation heavyweight fighter, although with the aircraft having yet to enter service in the Russian Air Force itself Delhi is likely waiting to assess its performance before committing to a purchase.
印度對俄羅斯的蘇-57下一代重量級戰鬥機表現出了濃厚的興趣，儘管這款飛機尚未在俄羅斯空軍服役，德里很可能在承諾購買之前等待評估其性能。
The possibly remains that India will purchase an initial batch of ‘off the shelf’ Su-57 jets from Russia to evaluate their capabilities - before entering into a contract for joint production.
可能的情況仍然是，印度將從俄羅斯購買第一批“現成”的蘇-57噴氣式飛機，以評估它們的能力-然後再簽訂聯合生產合同。
This would be consistent with its acquisition strategy for the Su-30 - as before joint manufacturing of the Su-30MKI India purchased and evaluated the Su-30K from Russia.
這將與其蘇-30的採購戰略相一致，因為在聯合制造蘇-30MKI之前，印度從俄羅斯購買並評估了蘇-30K。
The capabilities of the jointly manufactured Su-30MKI variant were far superior to the Su-30K, but operating the jet familiarised the Indian Air Force with the airframe and its performance limitations - much as a Su-57 could do to precede a joint next generation program. It is also possible that India intends to purchase more sophisticated future variants of the Su-57, likely to be dubbed 'Su-60' or something similar, once these become available - and possibly in a twin seat configuration which its Air Force has long favoured.
聯合制造的SU-30MKI變型的性能遠遠優於SU-30K，但操作這種噴氣式飛機讓印度空軍熟悉了機身及其性能限制-就像SU-57在聯合下一代計劃之前可以做的那樣。此外，印度還可能打算購買更復雜的SU-57未來變型，一旦這些變型可用，可能被稱為“蘇-60”或類似的東西-而且可能是印度空軍長期以來青睞的雙座配置。
