I am not convinced it is the right answer.
Really? Why?
For ASW, it does not have enough time on station, to find submarines.
Really?? I wonder how we used to do it in the past? I know submarines are getting quieter, but 12 hours?!?!
Why the US, Indian and Aussie navies think the P8 is OK?
Boeing have superb salesmen.
Or of course, it is a platform (the only platform currently available?) that meets your requirement for a LRMPA.
About my twin prop multirole MPA concept
But also note:
Elta and Bombardier are positioning this platform to meet Medium Range Maritime Patrol and Coastal Surveillance
So not so good if you need/want long range MPA (or Stuffy's 12 hours on station time).
