Do it can carry any torpedos too

The P-3 can carry several light weight torpedoes in its internal weapons bay:


The commonly used MK46 light weight, aerial capable torpedo is in service with the Pakistan Navy as well.

Torpedoes are carried internally, but externally mines or missile may be carried, such as this Harpoon:

And MK62 Quick strike Mine:

The internal bay can also accommodate non-munition equipment, such as this air-launched rescue kit - Note: this aircraft is a P-3 derivative called ARIES:

The P-3 was designed as a sub-hunter and they are very well equipped to deal with a submarine threat, and surface ships for good measure, some even for land attack when armed with SLAM-ER:

Still unbelievable.

I don't think pakistan has air to sea version of harpoon?

Pakistan requested the sale of AGM-84L back in 2006:

The Government of Pakistan has requested a possible sale of;

- 50 UGM-84L (submarine-launched),
- 50 RGM-84L (surface-launched),
- 30 AGM-84L (air-launched) Block II HARPOON missiles;
- 5 Encapsulated HARPOON Command Launch Systems;
- 115 containers;
- missile modifications;
- training devices;
- spare and repair parts;
- technical support;
- support equipment;
- personnel training and training equipment;
- technical data and publications;
- U.S. Government and contractor engineering and logistics

The sale, as noted in the picture below, went through.

And you would know all about it. Bravo, now stop speculating on other people´s behalf.

This is why I hate indians, they try to be all knowing and arrogant. The speculate about things that they know nothing about and above that they don´t even care to do some research about anything they say.
Saying some thing like"I don´t think so" make it so that Pakistan does not have that capability. That´s what indians live by these days.
