PAF did not install bomb bay doors on its C-130 during the 1965 war, they just pushed bomb's mounted on pallets through the aft cargo hatch.

Embraer is excellent choice. ITAR free guaranteed. They are on par with Boeing/Airbus. But I dont get it where the rest of the electronics/systems will come from. Is it via Brazil or Turkey?

I am not aware of this company and the jet. what is the origin of this jet? its engines and other systems?
I wonder how many of its commercial examples are produced and in service and since when?

converting the airliner into military grade will require the reinforcement of fuselage and rest of the frame and a lot of system redundancies to account for different war time scenarios. obviously air frame modification, installation of equipment and payload and creating Bombay will affect the center of gravity and engine performance and stability of the aircraft and will definitely require the assistance of original manufacturer and someone with relevant experience in conversion.

I have no clue where Brazil stands in the tier list of performance and reliability among Western, Russian and Chinese manufacturers.

So which Anti Ship Missile will be integrated with this jet ?

I have seen some PAF paintings depicting the C-130 bombing runs.
much like the way American MOAB is deployed through a rail system out of the back of the C-130 cargo hatch.

Or we stick to cities, provinces, rivers, etc, and maybe expand to synonyms for bravery (e.g., shuja, bahadur, etc) and other concepts.

PN has named Ships and subs on Sahaba AS, great battles, cities and war hero. So it is not difficult to name the MPA's as well.

They are pretty good and meet international standards, they also have multiple international customers so suffice to say they make some good aircraft.

Embraer is one of the largest aircraft producers in the world.
There are over 1500 E190/E175 in service around the world on which Lineage 1000 is based on.

Embraer option may be ITAR free however it is still under Export Administration Regulations so it is still controllable.

One of the P3 we lost was classified as CFIT due to operator fatigue. It was their 3rd continous sortie during war games.

Crew rest area, is critical for not only performance, but safety. Something, not taken seriously.

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

Pakistan has a small coastline, anyway:

its:
4-5 ATR-72MPA
10 Sea Sultan


give it 2-3 years.

Hmm. Hopefully conversion process starts much sooner. Having even 2-3 such new Sea Sultans (fully converted) will start making the differences.

Its not reeeeeally a pressing need, P3s are STILL very capable and reliable aircraft, allows for Pakistan to work on some more comfortable timelines instead of rushing everything out

 

[Bossman]

The first generation P8s had almost the same electronics suite as the upgraded P3s.

 

[Blacklight]

no no, its 1 engine off, 3 on.

Given, the number of ASW sorties you have carried out, I will cede to your superior knowledge & experince.
