Featured Pakistani Navy confirms Brazilian jetliner will replace Orion patrol aircraft

[The Eagle]

Two more aircraft of the series have also been contracted by Pakistan Navy. These aircraft will be equipped with latest weapons and sensors to undertake Maritime Air Operations.

Yeah reading that post and upon further inspection the aircraft is obviously not modified yet, I suppose this ceremony was supposed to be held a while back when the aircraft arrived but covid or some other issues delayed it. This means they likely won’t do another ceremony when the modified aircraft is handed over, which makes sense I suppose. So nothing interesting to see so far.

OK just came in my mind this similar to the 'induction' of Yarmook and Tabuk OPVs .... sensor will be integrated later

@Rashid Mahmood shaib once explain about this ... which I don't remember exactly ..... so If possible Rashid Shaib might you explain it again ....

Most likely conversion now will take place quickly. Every prerequisite things have been cleared/arranged/decided hence the formality for a ceremony.

They have only inducted the jet officially. Conversion is yet to take place

A quick update, who has been finalised for the conversion?

 

[Trailer23]

So I read somewhere that there are a total of 10 on order. Is there a timeline as to when the delivery will be complete?

2025 or 2030?

Yep, the PN wants 10. They didn't release the delivery timeline, but it could take around 10-12 years.

Yep, Leonardo with support from Paramount group of SA.

WRT induction, I’m not too sure, but yeah, the aircraft is completely unmodified.

@Akh1112 @Tipu7 @HRK @SQ8 ^
is it just me or it looks unmodified still, wonder Why the ceremony and LRMPA title then, maybe just to induct the plane? But that doesn’t make much sense.

It's yet to receive it's requisite package ... It's induction of airframe.
