Japanese Maritime Aircraft in Pakistan for exercise

[Bilal Khan (Quwa)]

Wouldn’t count on it, but I do see the possibility of it being brought up; even though the budget for it is fiction for now.

I'd add that even if the PN looks at lower-cost alternatives (e.g., fitting a business jet), there are some subsystems that aren't easy to come by, even in the West (i.e., MAD). If I'd bring up something with Japan, it'd be that.

So USAF in Jacobabad, Japanese in Mehran.....
I wonder if there's a US Carrier anchored in the vicinity of the Karachi coast.....!!!!

PN is considering buying some Kawasaki P3C's.

Can't Japan gift those aircraft, they are used hardware plus Japan is a developed rich nation.

US approval would not be required for this ....??

 

[Super Falcon]

Japanese p3 is more advanced than our P 3 orion in systems and in sensors specialy offers more range

Nope.

Probably.
It's still in the consideration phase.

A pair of Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) Lockheed P-3 Orion aircraft arrived at PNS Mehran Naval Air Station in Karachi for joint exercise with Pakistan Navy.

Saw them flying low towards Mehran, while listening to khutba on friday , there were 2 of them and Pakistan's Z-9C

I feel Japan is getting back into her old imperial instincts.

@Rashid Mahmood may be replacement for loss at Mehran plus additional? If we get it some they got in good numbers would be nice.

Why is that

 

[HRK]

Why is that

Same as F-16 is required approval before the sales to any third county ....

What about F2 fighter jet? Does Japan need approval from USA to sell it to another country?

Not in production. Forget about buying any weapons from Japan. They are not selling and we can not afford them. The cost of manufacturing in Japan is astronomically higher than any other country. They do it nonetheless to maintain expertise locally but its not viable for anyone else to buy what they manufacture.
Just focus on AZM and JF-17s

That was hypocritical question. Whatever Japan offer (if anything), we can buy it cheaper from China.
