Induction ceremony of state-of-the-art Maritime Patrol Aircrafts (MPA) and tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in Pakistan Navy Fleet was held at Karachi. Chief of the Naval Staff, Admiral Zafar Mahmood Abbasi graced the occasion as Chief Guest.

Speaking on the occasion, Chief of the Naval Staff, highlighting the role of Pakistan Navy in safeguarding the maritime frontiers and ensuring safety of Sea Lines of Communication, said that induction of marinized ATR aircraft with weapons and sensors will substantially enhance operational capabilities of Pakistan Navy Fleet’s Air Arm. Moreover, induction of another ATR in cargo/ para-drop role will provide added flexibility to the Special Forces’ operations.

The Chief Guest further added that induction of LUNA NG Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in Fleet Air Arm will further augment Pakistan Navy’s Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities in maritime domain especially in Creeks areas and along the Coastal belt. The Admiral urged the crew of newly inducted ATRs & Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to make optimum utilization of these platforms in order to contribute effectively towards combat potential of Pakistan Navy Fleet.

Appreciating the detection of Indian Submarine by Pakistan Navy Aircraft in post Pulwama stand off the Naval Chief said that I am glad that PN Aviation Fleet proved its mastery and made the whole nation proud. He advised the aviators to keep the same spirit and be prepared for any eventuality that may rise anytime. He also highlighted that Pakistan Navy’s developmental plans include acquisition of Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAVs) in support of maritime operations, too.

The ceremony was attended by high ranking officials, serving and retired Aviators of Pakistan Navy and sister services and representatives of concerned government departments.

Serial #78 and 79 upgraded to MPA.

Serial #76 and 77 inducted into service, conversion pending. One of those recently arrived in Pak.
Than why does the banner at induction ceremony say "ATR 76, 78 & LUNA NG" ?
 
Just keep them well protected, not like the P3C were kept :hitwall:

And please please make me happy and get a squadron of air superiority / naval strike combat aircraft to replace the Mirage :wub: something that can both take on the INs Mig29s and and carry a few anti ship missiles :flame:
And either upgrade P3Cs or find thier better replacement soon like P8Is

We purchased the last two ,hopefully we will get at least one from the top three.
Haven't purchased AH 1Zs too

There were talks of j-15s

If thats true i will go nuts with ecstasy.

We will see and wait.
Our Airforce needs 4.5 gen fighters on urgent basis More than Navy needing a strike plateform
To counter IAF 3 Rafales, 250 SU 30s and 111 Mig 29s( both UPGs and Ks) we have only about 76 F 16s
To counter about IAF 41 Mirage 2000s and 18 Tejas we have about 100 JF 17 Thunders.

oh bhai we have no chance to get P8, may be Pakistan will get Chinese version of P3C
Thats why I wrote like P8Is mean have similar or better capabilities than P8Is

USA block these sales because Indian lobby in DC
We also want US to pay thru aid. We dont want to pay them

Does we have $$$ to buy these expensive toys, EF-2000 extremely expensive/RAFALE no Chance/Grippen denied by Sweden, F35 just forget it, this remain only 2 options either we should go to J-10C or Russian Mig-35, and bro this navy thread and don't bring air force topic in this thread

Thats why I wrote like P8Is mean have similar or better capabilities than P8Is
only option we have to get Chinese version of P3C, there is distant possibility that we get MPA from Brazilian regional jets equipped with latest avionics and their is also extremely distant possibility We get kawasaki P-1 from Japan and turboprop have a better loitering capability than turbofan
