Does one need to be jerk to be a PDF Think Tank?

If you can't answer a question then please don't respond. I asked with humility and if you don't have any lets not have a conversation.

Consider yourself lucky that i didnt report your stupid post. Be advised, i am not always in a good mood.

FYI, this is technically a look inside a Pakistani P-3 since the upgrades bring it exactly on par with the current USN standard.

Last picture, are these chaffs and flares? Since P3 doesn't carry internal ammo.

So, what is that bomb bay for? And notice those round apertures in the rear belly, for launching sonobuoys?

Hardpoints: 10 wing stations in total (3x on each wing and 2x on each wing root) and eight internal bomb bay stations with a capacity of 20,000 lb (9,100 kg).

The P-3 has an internal bomb bay under the front fuselage which can house conventional Mark 50 torpedoes or Mark 46 torpedoes and/or special (nuclear) weapons. Additional underwing stations, or pylons, can carry other armament configurations including the AGM-84 Harpoon, AGM-84E SLAM, AGM-84H/K SLAM-ER, the AGM-65 Maverick, 127 millimetres (5.0 in) Zuni rockets, and various other sea mines, missiles, and gravity bombs. The aircraft also had the capability to carry the AGM-12 Bullpup guided missile until that weapon was withdrawn from U.S./NATO/Allied service.

Provisions to carry combinations of:

• Missiles:
  • Air-to-surface missile: AGM-65 Maverick, AGM-84 Harpoon, AGM-84 Standoff Land Attack Missile (SLAM-ER)
• Bombs:
  • Depth charges, Mk 101 Lulu nuclear depth bomb, MK20 Rockeye, MK80 Series (MK82, MK83, MK84) general purpose bombs, B57 nuclear bomb (US service only, retired 1993)
• Other:
  • Mk 44 (mostly retired from service), Mk 46,[1] Mk 50, Mk 54 or MU90 Impact torpedoes
  • Mk 25, Mk 39, Mk 55, Mk 56, Mk 60 CAPTOR or Mk 65 Quickstrike naval mines[80]
  • Stonefish naval mine (in Australian service)
  • Active and passive Sonobuoys

I thought it was for front wheel but was corrected by seniors just few posts back.

Just curious did the can launch air to air missile also just for protection?

They can, but aren't typically fitted for such. A P-3 firing an AIM-9 Sidewinder:

During operations in Taiwan, P-3s were routinely armed with at least 4 Sidewinders for defense against Chinese aircraft. These aircraft belonged to the Black Bat Squadron:

I just wish would they fitted with AIM-120 (AMRAAM) so that any BVR incoming aerial threat could be neutralized without any assistance.
