印度陆军是全球兵力最多的陆军之一,也是占印度国防投入最多的军种。仅以2015~2016年印度国防预算为例,约53%拨给了陆军,23%拨给了空军,16%给了海军,国防研究与发展组织占6%,而军需品生产商管理委员会只得到1%。如此高的预算比例,不仅意味着印度陆军是印度政府的宠儿,更意味着其在装备建设方面资源充沛。也正因为如此,很好地解释了作为一个“有声有色”的南亚大国,为什 The Indian Army is one of the most heavily armed forces in the world and the largest contributor to India’s national defense. Only India’s defense budget for 2015-2016, for example, allocated about 53% to the Army, 23% to the Air Force, 16% to the Navy, and 6% to the Defense Research and Development Organization. The munitions manufacturer’s board only Get 1%. Such a high proportion of the budget not only means that the Indian Army is the darling of the Indian government, but also means that it has abundant resources in terms of equipment construction. Precisely because of this, it is a good explanation for what it is like as a “great and powerful” South Asian nation.
