well they surely don't have coz Uncle sam will not offer F 22 till 2030 approx and chinees purchaseable tech will also demand a little bit time to mature itself....
and i dont think russians will offer such plane or even if they offer i dont think PAF will consider them...
well till 2025 no such chance...
as PAF is also bzy inducing JF 17 and making it a mature fighter jet and they will just got J10 in near future....
soo if someone even offered it will take no less than 2022 atleast to just finalize the agreement...
soo still a long way to go..

India receives first P-8I Neptune aircraft

Interesting that they changed the name from Poseidon (Greek god of Ocean) for P-8A to Neptune (Roman god of Ocean) for P-8I.

I think the Neptune would become their standard export model.

Hmmm interesting thought.
Poseidon was the sea God of the Greeks and if we look into it that way then Poseidon is actually more badass than Neptune, and also kind of an @@shole.
Apart from being the god of seas, he also tamed horses, and caused earthquakes and Neptune was also related to horses but he did no earth shaking, after all the Latins had little to do with the sea.

But forgoing the rant, who really cares.
Americans have no relation to any of that stuff it is only for the sake of conceptual symmetry that the P-8I is Neptune.
It is equally badass as the Poseidon.
