Eye on AMCA fighter project & IAF’s Rafale, French engine maker’s MRO facility in India soon

针对AMCA战斗机项目和印度空军的“阵风”，法国发动机制造商很快将在印度建厂

Giving a further boost to the Narendra Modi government's ambitious 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' campaign, French engine-maker Safran will set up a Maintenance Repair and Overhaul facility for leading-edge aviation propulsion (LEAP) commercial aircraft engines. The MRO facility will be set up by the company as part of its offset commitments. As per reports, Safran will invest $150 million in setting up the facility. Sources told HT that the MRO facility, said to be based either in Hyderabad or Bengaluru, will apparently be announced tomorrow when Safran CEO Olivier Andres meets Indian Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia. It also aims to further its proposal to co-develop with DRDO's Gas Turbine Research Establishment a 110kn thrust engine for the fifth-generation advanced medium combat aircraft twin-engine (AMCA) fighter project.

法国发动机制造商赛峰集团将为前沿航空推进(LEAP)商用飞机发动机建立维修厂（MRO），这进一步推动了莫迪政府雄心勃勃的“印度自力更生”计划。

MRO厂将由该公司建立，作为其承诺的一部分。

据报道，赛峰集团将投资1.5亿美元建立该设施。

消息人士告诉《印度斯坦时报》，MRO厂据说将位于海德拉巴或班加罗尔，显然会在明天赛峰集团首席执行官Olivier Andres会见印度民航部长Jyotiraditya Scindia时宣布。

设立该厂还旨在进一步与DRDO的燃气轮机研究机构合作开发110kn推力发动机，用于第五代先进中型双引擎(AMCA)战斗机项目。

以下是印度网民的评论：

We need some big establishments like this in the East and North-East as well...

But looking forward to seeing SAFRAN set up their MRO facility in India.

印度东部和东北部也需要一些这样的大厂…期待看到赛峰集团在印度建立MRO厂。

I hope India select France as the partner for AMCA engine development. Never select US, it comes with a lot of strings attached.

希望印度选择法国作为AMCA发动机研发的合作伙伴。不要选择美国，美国会提很多附加条件。

US and France competing heavily... First US sabotaged France's deal with Australia and now US offers India for development of Engine which they earlier denied

美国和法国激烈竞争…美国先是破坏了法国和澳大利亚的协议，现在美国提议为印度研发发动机，之前拒绝了

India greatly needed an engine MRO(maintenance, repair and operations) facility...we have to take our prototype engines to Russia by air for testing and operations.

印度非常需要发动机维修厂…目前我们不得不把原型机空运到俄罗斯进行测试和操作。

I am amazed  at what PM Modi and his Cabinet has done in 7 years. I am at loss to see what India could have achieved in 70 years only if Nehru and his family has not used India as a personal property.

It would be better if we perfect our indigenous Kaveri engines. As such only recently the engine core has been proven stable. Let's persevere more.

如果我们能完善国产 Kaveri引擎就更好了。最近该发动机核心已经被证明是稳定的，再接再厉。

through private sector equity participation in future defense procurement programs the Indian Air Force should acquire a small fleet of 28 - 33 brand new F-35A Lightning II (Block 40) stealth multi role fighter that will serve as a learning tool as the twin-engined AMCA is being developed . . .

让私营部门参与未来国防采购项目，印度空军应该采购28 - 33架全新的F-35A闪电II (Block 40)隐形多用途战机，双引擎AMCA的研发可以借鉴…

This is the same french company that had promised to do technology transfer of the Rafale and yet hasn't helped us with any kind of blueprints nor has contributed to help in the development of Kaveri engine, we shouldn't be dependent on these outsiders for our defence needs and should really push the idea of self reliance

同样是这家法国公司，他们承诺要进行阵风的技术转让，却没有在蓝图上给予我们任何帮助，也没有在Kaveri引擎的开发上做出贡献。

我们不应该依赖这些外人来满足我们的国防需求，应该真正推动自己更生的理念
