Pakistan Navy P-3C Orion Thread

[Penguin]

These P3Cs are fully upgraded up to the latest standard and carry a very lethal punch and will add a new dimension to Pakistan Naval Aviation. Until the arrival of P8, India has no counter to it. Funding was provided from US FMS program

No counter? ANY jetfighter can take out a maritime patrol aircraft (wchich in most cases doesn't carry any AAMs and can't really do a2a combat).

No counterpart? Well, lets not pretend modernized Tu-95 Bear and IL-35 MAY MPAs don't exist.

Pakistan to get two P-3C Orion surveillance aircraft

WASHINGTON: The United States will hand over two upgraded P-3C Orion reconnaissance aircraft to Pakistan on Friday to help boost maritime security capability of the key member of the multinational task force.

Pakistan will receive the surveillance maritime aircraft in Jacksonville, Florida, at a ceremony, to be attended by Vice Admiral Shahid Iqbal HI (M), chief of staff of the Pakistan Navy, Islamabad’s Ambassador to the United States Husain Haqqani and senior US naval officers. Being a critical anti-terrorism partner of the international community, Pakistan is currently commanding the Combined Task Force (CTF) 150, having already fulfilled the responsibility three times. The area of responsibility of the CTF-150, which operates under the Coalition Maritime Campaign Plan, stretches from Strait of Hormuz to the Red Sea, covering 2.4 million sq miles and bordering 14 nations along the Gulf of Oman, Arabian Sea, Horn of Africa and Red Sea. Pakistan is due to get in phases a total of 7 P-3 C Orion aircraft that are being upgraded by global security company Lockheed Martin.

According to a spokesman of the Pakistani embassy in Washington, the acquisition of the aircraft reflects growing cooperation between the US and Pakistani navies, that have been cooperating closely in stemming illegal activities at sea. Recently, Pakistan’s Naval Chief Admiral Noman Bashir also visited Washington and was decorated with the prestigious US Legion of the Merit award. As a major non-NATO ally of the United States, Pakistan will also acquire frigate USS McInerney later this summer under foreign military funding.

Yup latest avionics and most importantly Hawkeye 2000 AEW system
and armed with missiles.

You're mixing up AEW and MPA versions of the P-3 Orion. Unlike the MPA version, the AEW version has no armaments whatsoever. The MPA version has and can do ASW and ASuW task but it has no rotodome mounted air surveillance radar and associated command and control system to detect air targets and vector friendly forces onto them. Two different aeroplanes alltogether.
