Hi all,

According to:
UN-Register

US has transferred 5 P-3B Orion to Pakistan. Has anyone got any information about this? Will Pakistan upgrade these to C standard if this information is correct?

Quoting wiki:

On 22 May 2011, two out of the four Pakistani P-3Cs were destroyed in an attack on PNS Mehran, a Pakistani Naval station in Karachi.[26] The Pakistani fleet had been readily used in overland, counter-insurgency operations. In June 2011, the U.S. agreed to replace the destroyed aircraft with two new ones, with delivery to follow later.[27] In February 2012, the U.S. delivered two, additional P-3C Orion aircraft to the Pakistan Navy.[28]

So with 5 more, does this take the final number to 11 (4 + 2 +5)?

P-3B AEW models (equipped with Hawkeye 2000 AEW system) ordered in 2006?

See Is Pakistan Navy getting 10 P-3C Orion aircraft by 2012? specifically Is Pakistan Navy getting 10 P-3C Orion aircraft by 2012?

See PN buying 3 P-3 Orion based Hawkeye2000 AEW&C systems,

no FMS funds available. the 5 P-3B(H) were allocated to PK (and still are) but the US$900m is not available for the Hawkeye-2000 system. and therefore the ZDK-03 wea purchased as an alternate
