Lockheed gets $7.3M contract add for P-3C work

The question is:

Three P3C's were supplied back in the 90s'. One was lost near Gawader. Therefore, two remaining of the lot.

Two more were supplied out of a lot of six (In some web sites -- the number is quoted as eight). Those were lost to terrorists.

Two more were supplied this month.

However, a late 2010 Gogle Earth footage shows five Orions parked at Mehran!

Now the question is:

Are there four or five Orions in the current inventroy of PN?
How many more will be supplied two or four more (The differential in the programm count of a total of six ships or eight ships)?
Apparently, the upgrade work was still being done on the ones destroyed at Mehran. What about the contract value? Has it been reduced? Or funds being kept for further two "Replacements?"

If the count of five is correct than we can safely look for another two to be added (Min.) That brings the total to seven. I wonder how many of these have been upgraded? Atleast four would be fully upgraded. we do not know of the rest. I am puzzlled by the missing seventh aircraft -- it does not belong to the original group nor does it form part of the later program of six ships.
