The Tata group is to unveil India's first indigenously developed 155 mm howitzer in New Delhi on Monday.
    塔塔集团周一在新德里推出了印度第一个自主研发的155mm榴弹炮.

    The 155/52 mm howitzer is mounted on an eight-wheeled Tata truck for enhanced mobility. The gun was developed by its defence subsidiary Tata Power Strategic Electronics Division (SED) this year. The 'mounted gun system' can fire a six-round salvo on a target 40 km away in less than three minutes.
    155mm52倍口径的榴弹炮被安装在一辆8X8的塔塔卡车上以增强机动性,这个火炮是由塔塔公司的国防子公司塔塔能源战略电子分部在今年研发的.车载火炮系统可以在三分钟之内对40公里以外的目标进行6轮齐射.

    The truck-mounted howitzer will be displayed at an army seminar at the Maneckshaw centre tomorrow. The rollout comes even as the Indian Army and the Ministry of Defence have struggled to import howitzers over the past 25 years.
    车载榴弹炮将会在明天Maneckshaw中心的军队研讨会上进行展示,榴弹炮的推出正值印度军队和国防部在过去的25年中一直进口榴弹炮的时候.

   The Army acquired its last howitzers over 25 years ago, 410 FH-77B howitzers from AB Bofors of Sweden in 1987. Since then, the army's howitzer arsenal has been critically depleted.
   陆军在25年从瑞典的AB博福斯公司获得了最后的410门FH-77B榴弹炮,从那时起军队的榴弹炮库存日益枯竭.

    Tata Power SED, the defence arm of the $ 100 billion Tata group, began work on its 'Mounted Gun Project' over two years ago. The prototype gun was rolled out of the Tata Power SED facility in Bangalore's electronic city this October. It will spearhead the group's bid for the Army's requirement for 814 mounted gun systems for Rs 8500 crore.
    市值1000亿美元的塔塔集团下属负责国防的塔塔SED在两年前开展"车载火炮项目"。塔塔下属SED今年十月在班加罗尔的电子城推出了火炮原型.他将代表塔塔集团竞标军队价值8500亿卢比,814门车载火炮系统的需求.

    The Tata gun is India's first new howitzer since its purchase of Bofors guns. The subsequent bribery scandal torpedoed the acquisition of additional howitzers from Sweden.
    塔塔的火炮是印度其购买博福斯火炮之后的第一种新的榴弹炮，但随后而来的贿赂丑闻毁掉了从瑞典购买额外榴弹炮的计划.

    The Bofors howitzers performed spectacularly in the Kargil conflict of 1999. The Indian Army wants to buy over 2200 such howitzers in five different categories but has been unable to do so because of other bribery scandals involving firms like Rheinmetall, Singapore Technologies Kinetics, Soltam and Denel.
   博福斯榴弹炮在1999年的卡吉尔冲突中表现卓越,印度军队希望购买5个级别超过2200门榴弹炮,但是因为其他公司的贿赂丑闻,例如莱茵金属,新加坡科技动力,索尔丹姆公司和丹尼尔,其一直未能如愿.（译注：索尔丹姆为以色列公司、丹尼尔为南非公司  来源：龙腾网  翻译：盖世太保）
