俄罗斯寻找中东新买家
Russia's International Aviation and Space Show,an impressive display of military and civilian 1 aviation hardware.
在往年的俄罗斯国际航空航天展上,军用和民用航空技术双双绽放异彩。
But this year, it was the military sector 2 of the industry that stole the spotlight 3, as the air show was used to showcase the country's military might.
不过今年,军用行业抢尽风头,飞行表演展示了俄罗斯强大的军力。
"We are to enhance Russia’s unique advantages in the aviation field and consolidate 4 our leading role in manufacturing military aviation equipment. Therefore, we should carry out modernization 5 and upgrading in aviation and space rocket manufacturing, bring in state-of-the-art facilities and ameliorate every link in order to improve our products’ quality and characters,"
我们要加强俄罗斯在航空领域的独特优势,巩固我们在军事航空装备制造业中的领先地位。因此,我们要实现航空和太空火箭制造业现代化和升级,通过纳入先进设施和改善每个环节,来改善我们产品的质量和特性。”
Although western companies were present, Russia's defense 6 industry is squeezed by sanctions over Ukraine and the loss of Ukrainian suppliers.
尽管有西方公司参展,可是莫斯科因为乌克兰问题受到制裁,同时失去了乌克兰供应商。
“Something like 300 enterprises in Russia received components 7 from Ukraine. When all of this disappeared, you can imagine the level of losses,”
大约300家俄罗斯企业曾经靠乌克兰提供零件,现在这些全部消失了,可以想象损失的程度。
While a controversial deal to sell advanced missile defense systems to Iran was delayed, Moscow courted other Middle East customers and allies.
虽然向伊朗出售先进导弹防御系统的争议性交易被推迟,可是莫斯科寻找其它中东顾客和盟友。
“Now that its friendly regime of Bashar [al]-Assad is literally 8 under fire in Syria; and, of course, Russia managed to restore ties and even military cooperation with Egypt. But, still probably it needs more allies, and especially now that the oil prices are diving,”
毫不夸张的说,如今,俄罗斯盟友叙利亚阿萨德政权仍处在战火当中;俄罗斯和埃及恢复了关系,甚至军事合作,可是俄罗斯可能还是需要更多盟友,尤其是现在石油价格大跌的时候。”
While Russia's aviation companies are having their ups and downs, deals expected later this year could help to steady the industry.
