波兰日报《波兰共和国报》周四报道,俄罗斯对乌克兰西部的袭击正在推高邻国波兰的防空成本,即使没有无人机或导弹进入波兰领空。
Russian attacks on western Ukraine are driving up neighboring Poland's air-defense costs even when no drones or missiles enter its airspace, Polish daily Rzeczpospolita reported Thursday.
报纸称,在俄罗斯袭击乌克兰西部期间,波兰更频繁地部署军用飞机,许多任务属于预防性质,且在未发生任何波兰领空侵犯的情况下结束。
Poland has been deploying military aircraft more frequently during Russian strikes on western Ukraine, with many missions precautionary and ending without any violation of Polish airspace, the newspaper said.
援引国防部数据,报纸指出,驾驶一架F-16战斗机飞行的平均成本为每小时76,859兹罗提(约合19,500美元),含燃料和飞机维护费用。
Citing Defense Ministry data, it put the average cost of flying an F-16 fighter jet at 76,859 zlotys ($19,500) per hour, including fuel and aircraft servicing.
这意味着让一对战斗机在空中巡航一小时的成本超过15万兹罗提(约合3.8万美元),而涉及换防飞机的长时间任务成本可能大幅更高。
That means keeping a pair of fighters in the air for one hour costs more than 150,000 zlotys ($38,000), while longer missions involving replacement aircraft can cost substantially more.
该数字不包括让波兰更广泛的防空系统进入警戒状态的全部成本,其中包含人员、雷达运作、指挥中心和地基防空部队。
That figure excludes the full cost of placing Poland’s wider air-defense system on alert, including personnel, radar operations, command centers and ground-based air-defense units.
据《波兰共和国报》报道,近几周随着俄罗斯反复袭击乌克兰、包括波兰边境附近地区,波兰军用飞机几乎每天都在本国领空执行任务。
Polish military aircraft have been operating over the country almost daily in recent weeks as Russia repeatedly attacks Ukraine, including areas near the Polish border, according to Rzeczpospolita.
报纸将这种反复部署描述为一种不对称的财政负担,认为莫斯科无需向波兰领空发射武器,就能迫使华沙承担巨大成本。
The newspaper described the repeated deployments as an asymmetric financial burden, arguing that Moscow can force Warsaw to incur significant costs without sending weapons into Polish airspace.
报纸报道,波兰正在投资增购雷达、电子战系统、高射炮和拦截无人机,但该网络尚未完全建成。
Poland is investing in additional radars, electronic warfare systems, anti-aircraft artillery and interceptor drones, but the network is not yet fully developed, the newspaper reported.
