罗马 —— 新发布的支出文件显示，意大利今年增加了对 GCAP 战机项目的投入，同时削减了新型陆军坦克和战斗车辆的资金。
ROME — Italy has hiked its spending on the GCAP fighter this year while reducing funding for new army tanks and fighting vehicles, newly released spending documents have revealed.
文件显示，罗马在 2026 年对 GCAP 的支出为 8.75 亿欧元（约 9.7 亿美元）—— 该项目旨在研制第六代战机，由意大利、英国和日本合作。
Rome has spent €875 million ($970 million) in 2026 on GCAP – the program for a sixth-generation fighter which teams Italy with the United Kingdom and Japan.
这一数字高于去年的 6.25 亿欧元，也远超去年预算文件中规划者预测的 2026 年支出 2.75 亿欧元。
That is up on last year’s €625 million and far higher than the €275 million that planners writing in last year’s budget document predicted would be spent in 2026.
新数据载于严重延迟的 2026 年意大利国防预算中，该预算本周由国防部提交议会审批。
The new numbers are contained in the much delayed Italian defense budget for 2026, which was sent by the defense ministry to parliament this week for approval.
《防务新闻》已查阅该文件中按项目列出的成本明细部分，但未看到列出总支出的章节。
Defense News has seen the part of the document containing the breakdown on costs per program, but not the section listing total spending.
GCAP 参与国于 7 月将一份价值 46 亿英镑（约 61 亿美元）的开发合同授予建造该战机的各国主力企业，此前英国释放了被推迟的资金。
The GCAP nations in July handed a £4.6 billion ($6.1 billion) development contract to their national champions building the jet after the U.K. freed up delayed cash.
这份为期 18 个月的合同授予了 Edgewing —— 由建造战机的企业组成的工业联合体。据报道，德国在其与法国合作研制 FCAS 战机的计划破裂后，正考虑加入 GCAP。
The 18-month contract went to Edgewing, the industrial consortium grouping the firms building the fighter. Germany is reportedly now mullingg up after the collapse of its plan to build the FCAS jet with France.
包含支出预测的 2026 年预算文件显示，意大利预计将在 2027 年对 GCAP 项目支出 6.96 亿欧元。
The 2026 budget document, which contains spending forecasts, predicts Italy will spend €696 million on the GCAP program in 2027.
与此同时，尽管意大利正与莱茵金属公司合作研制新型主战坦克和战斗车辆，2026 年重型陆军车辆的支出仍低于预测。
Meanwhile spending on heavy army vehicles in 2026 was lower than forecast, despite Italy working on a new main battle tank and fighting vehicle with Rheinmetall.
该计划设想交付 1050 辆“猞猁”装甲车和 272 辆“黑豹”坦克，总价值 230 亿欧元。但意大利国防部长圭多·克罗塞托在 7 月表示，意大利将把该项目成本削减 18%。
The program envisages the delivery of 1,050 Lynx vehicles and 272 Panther tanks as part of a €23 billion euro deal. But in July, Italian defense minister Guido Crosetto said Italy would cut 18% in costs from the program.
新文件显示，2026 年两个新项目以及对意大利老旧“公羊”坦克的升级支出为 1.77 亿欧元，低于去年的 2.81 亿欧元，也远低于去年文件预测的 2026 年支出 4.25 亿欧元。
The new document puts spending on the two new programs, as well as upgrades to Italy’s ageing Ariete tanks, at €177 million in 2026, lower than last year’s €281 million and far lower than the €425 million that last year’s document predicted would be spent in 2026.
作为补偿，今年的预算预测，在三个项目上的支出将大幅增加，到2027年达到8.72亿欧元。
By way of compensation, this year’s budget predicts a major hike in spending on the three programs to €872 million in 2027.
尽管《防务新闻》未见预算中给出总支出的章节，但将今年各个项目支出成本加总，总额达128亿欧元，比将2025年预算中所有项目加总得出的125亿欧元增加了3.07亿欧元。
Although Defense News has not seen the section of the budget giving total expenditures, a tally of the costs of the individual program outlays this year amounts to €12.8 billion, up by €307 million from the €12.5 billion given by totaling all the programs in the 2025 budget.
意大利的F-35项目涉及最终采购115架飞机，2026年耗资7.82亿欧元，低于规划者去年预测的将获得的9.61亿欧元。
Italy’s F-35 program, which involves the eventual purchase of 115 aircraft, cost Italy €782 million in 2026, less than the the €961 million planners last year forecast it would receive.
今年的预算文件一直是激烈政治辩论的焦点，因为在明年意大利大选前夕，国防开支受到关注，现任右翼总理梅洛尼将寻求连任。
This year’s budget document has been the focus of heated political debate as defense spending comes under the spotlight ahead of Italian national elections next year, which will see incumbent right wing prime minister Giorgia Meloni seeking reelection.
梅洛尼支持国防开支的论点遭到其盟友和对手的共同抨击，其中包括组成梅洛尼联盟一部分的联盟党领袖萨尔维尼，以及领导一个位于梅洛尼右侧的新党的前陆军将军万纳奇。
Meloni’s arguments in favor of defense spending have come under fire from both her allies and foes, including Matteo Salvini, the head of League party which forms part of Meloni’s coalition, and Robert Vannacci, a former army general running a new party to the right of Meloni.
在反对党中，五星运动也批评国防开支，声称这挤占了稀缺的医疗卫生资金。
Among opposition parties, the Five Star party has also criticized defense spending, claiming they are diverting scarce funds from health spending.
最近作为欧洲范围街头抗议浪潮一部分走上意大利街头的学生们，将削减军费列为其主要诉求之一。
Students who have recently taken to the streets in Italy as part of a Europe-wide wave of street protests have listed a cut to arms spending as one of their main aims.
对军费开支的反对，与反对向乌克兰提供武器的声音日益高涨不谋而合，梅洛尼自2022年当选以来一直为向乌克兰提供武器的政策而奋斗。
The opposition to arms spending has coincided with growing opposition to supplying arms to Ukraine, a policy Meloni has fought for since her election in 2022.
