It's hard to read the tail number on this P-8 and if it is a P-8I, where are the IN's markings?

That is possibly an IN P-8I. It has the MAD "stinger" on the tail and the aft radar. These are not there on the P-8As.

God dammit, these clowns in the MoD- delay, delay, delay and when the vendor informs them that they cannot validate a price they entered for a contest 3+ years ago, these idiots lose their minds and before you know it start shouting re-tender!

It is all too predictable, this has killed how many vital defence deals now?


That's it MoD, build $1BN USD destroyers and fly 40+ year old Sea King ASW helos off them, that's really going to make those PLA(N) subs who are probing the IOR think twice!

Also after looking at these photos, there are 2 bumps on the American ones. Check this photo. Just near the edges of the umbrella. Had clicked it in Paris.

Here is a side view.

Just above the buoy dispenser. Clearer photo.

This is a different thing. The photograph that I referred to has the MAD Boom "Stinger" sticking straight out behind the tail; that is not present in the P-8A..... since the USN did not want the MAD on their aircraft just as they did not want the Telephonics rear-facing Aft Radar, which the P-8I has.

Yup. Understood the mad thing. Was trying to say, this also seems to be a difference.

Of course this is. It is related to some specific eqpt installed by the USN in their aircraft. Same platforms but different fit-outs by the two respective operators.

The Navy's P-8 Poseidon Spotted Packing Mysterious New Pod

Its clearly the P-8I.

If you look at the Huge number of Antenna's on that pod as well as slot for air cooling, it looks like a pod for EW and intelligence gathering.
