India's feasible wind energy potential is estimated at 138GW a figure which will be reached by 2030
Beyond that u are likely to see protests by farmers , and the likes of Arundati Roy and Arwind Khejriwal , coz it will involve forcible land acquisition and environmental degradation
The article states the order value at Rs 6000 Crore
Considering the fact that towed artillery requirement of army is for 1560 Units
So my guess is that we are looking at a price of Around Rs 4 cr each
The problem is that 3rd Generation Jets have an airframe like of 2000 Hrs or 20 Yrs
But we see PAF like IAF flying them well beyond their expected life
[/B]
Have u seen the size of our country
We need jets with Much longer Range to cover the entire country , Hence Su30MKI with 5500 Km range and Ralafe with 4000 Km range are chosen over Gripen with 1600 Km range
Well the 3 Shivalik class Frigates have been inducted in 2010,2011,2012
The Kolkata class Destroyer will start entering service in 2013 , the delay is due to the Indian Navy insisting on the ships having Barak 8 SAMs at time of induction , not the Barak II currently being used on Frigates...
Actually u are a bit wrong in this regard,
While Indian Navy does plan to have a fleet of 150 fighters , and 3 ACs by 2025 , Tejas's position in that list is still doubtful , From what I know , IN has ordered 9 NLCA(6 twin seater,3 single seat) with option to purchase another 37(33 Single , 4...
No the Problem is that the Mig21 Fighter which the Tejas was supposed to replace is being replaced by another fighter , The Su30MKI , infact , by the time tejas Actually enters service , Mig21 would have fallen to 80
With Rafale Replacing the 5 sqds of Mig27 and 2 SQDs of Jaguars , their is no...
Khan's Pakistan 'would shoot US drones'
05 October 2012
Pakistani politician Imran Khan has said that he would be prepared to authorise the shooting down of US drone aircraft in Pakistan should he be made prime minister in next year's election.
In an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today...
The IAF is all set to raise four more squadrons of Su-30 MKI fighter in the near future as it prepares to induct the tenth unit of the aircraft in Punjab along the Pakistan border.
Codenamed 'Flying Lancers', the process to set up the new Number-15 squadron will be initiated in December and...
Why are people discussing the purchase of F-15Ks
For one thing if IAF ever wanted a Good Ground Attack aircraft from USA , then it would have chosen the F/A18 Super Hornet , which in my opinion is even superior to Rafale in Ground Attack , with the exception that US wont allow us to...
Actually u are correct
Mig21 have an airframe life of 20 yrs
But the last Mig21 inducted by India was in yr 1984 ie 28 yrs ago
Hence Retiring them by 2014 is the correct decision , since they are already past their service life
