Re: Renewable Sources of Energy

Solar power has a place. It is to provide the peak demand when nuclear and coal provide the base load. That is the only way it becomes a cost competitive solution. Wind power is okay, but it ruins undisturbed landscapes and adversely affects wild life including birds. Unlike North America, the India...

Re: Understanding the US - Again

I like Chicago and the suburbs are nice where I have family. I've spent a fair amount of time in the last 10 years in the south side of Chicago on Cicero Ave. and it's always been unsafe. Earlier this month an Indian student was violently attacked in Chicago and he's lucky to be alive. Chicago viole...

Re: Russian-Ukrainian War: Combat Tactics & Strategy

Average age of Russian conscript in Ukraine is 34. Regular Russian soldier is 18-27.
Average age of Ukrainian soldier is 43.

Without direct US & European involvement, regardless of billions of dollars, Ukraine will be divided.

No. Neither the MQ-9s or P-8Is have been approved by the CCS. However, US DoD has put on notice the sale of 6 P-8Is back in April 2021.

The MQ-9 was approved by India MoD last May. US DoD would notify like it has with the 6 additional P-8Is (also awaiting CCS clearance) as seen on their website.

The Modi govt. will likely wait to see which admin comes to power in the US before making any large purchases.
