Kawasaki P-1

[Flaggy]

Mi pare noi ci sia una discussione ufficiale sul nuovo pattugliatore marittimo giapponese, ma solo quella ormai vecchia nella sezione prototipi e aerei sperimentali (in caso chiedo ai moderatori di spostare).

Come per il C-2, anche per il P-1 si punta al mercato delle esportazioni, in competizione col P-8 americano e per la sostituzione del rilevante numero di P-3 in giro per il mondo..

Indecisione nipponica ...

 

Japan has yet to reach a firm decision on the future size of its Kawasaki Heavy Industries P-1 maritime patrol aircraft fleet, or determine whether the surveillance asset could be exported to international buyers.

Developed as an indigenous replacement for the Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force's Lockheed Martin P-3C Orions, the four-engined type was first flown in 2007, and entered operational use in 2016.
