波音公司声称,为美国海军研制的P-8A“多任务海上巡逻机”将在今年第三季度开始飞行试验,而且P-8A将会比海军预计的时间提前一年形成初始作战能力。今年年初,印度国防部决定斥资20亿美元向美国采购波音公司的P-8(P-81),以提升印度海军的海上巡逻监视能力。日前,美国政府已经批准了波音公司的这项军售计划,这将使印度成为P-8飞机的第一个国外用户。
The Boeing Co. claims that the P-8A “multi-mission maritime patrol aircraft” developed for the United States Navy will begin its flight test in the third quarter of this year and that the P-8A will be capable of initial warfare one year earlier than the Navy expected. Earlier this year, the Indian Defense Ministry decided to spend $ 2 billion on purchasing the Boeing P-8 (P-81) from the United States to enhance Indian naval patrolling capabilities at sea. The U.S. government has recently approved Boeing’s plans to sell the aircraft, making India the first overseas user of the P-8 aircraft.
