[nomi007]

news are coming that PIA is retiring its
ATR 42 from active services
PAF/PN consider them for surveillance and maritime role

 

[Incog_nito]

Though, it was better if PAC took license for Saab-2000 and Saab-340 like aircraft that can be used my all the services for different roles that includes:
AEW&C
Recon & Surveillance
Troops & VIP Transport
Strike Bomber (Laser and Smart Bombs)
Commercial Transport for PIA and other local and foreign airliners.

There is no sign that our ATR are or will be armed. I think they will be used mostly to patroll the coastlines, while the P3C-Orion will take the armed role and patrol deep in the Arabian Sea.

I am not too sure if PN ATR will be armed with torpedos and anti ship missiles. all the news so far have been to deliver MPA enhancements to 3 platforms that PN bought few years ago. so such details yet.

They are not drones but rather remote controlled aero models and they can only fly as long as they are visible. Drones are beyond visual line of sight and are autonomous. Aermodelling is popular in Pakistan.

30,000 combat operational flight hours

US technology is good. Scan Eagle is a good addition for the Pakistan Navy.
