ISLAMABAD: The US has decided to supply two P3C Orion aircraft to Pakistan to replace the aircraft that were destroyed in the PNS Mehran attack on May 22nd, diplomatic sources told DawnNews.

According to sources, the US will also be supplying F-16 aircraft and its spare parts.

Moreover, it is also expected that the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen will soon be visiting Pakistan to convey US President Barrack Obama’s message, sources added.

Official sources had earlier told Dawn that the destruction of the two four-engine all-weather P3C Orion aircraft would temporarily affect the Pakistan Navy’s counter-terrorism and surface and underwater reconnaissance operations.

The aircraft is designed for surface and underwater reconnaissance and anti-submarine and anti-surface vessel operations. It is rated as the fastest turbo-prop long-range maritime patrol (LRMP) platform used worldwide and is also called the airborne destroyer.

The aircraft is 116 feet long and has a maximum speed of 410 knots. Its distinguishing features are long endurance, multiple role capability, variety of integrated sensors and above all the capacity to carry a wide array of anti-surface and subsurface weapons such as harpoon, torpedoes, depth charges, mines and rockets. It can fly a mission of at least 18 hours.

the P3C is a EDA item - PN will pay for the upgrades thru FMF funds. and depending on the US approval process, it may take upto 12 months before we see them in PN livery.

It is a long process. First the funds and then the approval from Congress etc. We would see a lot whining from congressmen in all this period.

Anyways they are not FREE, we have to pay for their upgrades.

See how shrewd & smartly west played their game. In my opinion, Pakistan should not accept their offers. First they created the problems, obstacles and destroyed our assets and now when Pakistani nation (NOT OUR AGENCIES/ NOT OUR ARMY/NOT OUR GOVT) had shown strong reaction against them, then they came out with these offers. We should carefully analyse the situation and decide that do we really need (CAN WE MANAGE WITH OUR PRESENT RESOURCES/ NOT) OR Do we again want to be enslaved.

May Allah guide & make us sensible.

Thanks
