They are survillance platform which can be modified to carry light torpedos,deapth charges and antiship missiles……:coffee:
 
.
they will have a dual purpose - transport and MPA. the MPA suite will either be the re-fit of equipment from F-27MPA's or a new avionics package eg from MILGEM.

and can be maintained by PIA Engineers
 
.
I hope that after sometime; PN will going to order the new series of ATR-72 and ATR-42 of 600 series and sell these two to any operator like Turkey.

Turkey already operates the ATR-72/600 ASW with TMUA and MPA roles :). 2 in service and 8 to be recieved.

ATRs cannot be compared with the P-3Cs in any way.
The ATRs will be upgraded to a maritime package as were the F-27s.
The maritime package has not yet been finalized.

A second hand ATR 72-500 is being sought by the Navy that has both passenger and cargo carrying facility.

What Pakistan needs to do, is to setup a JV with majority Chinese investment in building the Y-8 and Y-9 generations of aircraft in Pakistan. The same aircraft and chassis can be used to build medium sized commercial planes inside Pakistan for regular commercial travel (non-propeller of course), outside of her growing need for similar planes for her military use. That way, Pakistan can establish her own aviation industry all the way and manufacture these planes for much cheaper. And help the Chinese with exports through her own contacts (like it has been the case with the JFT). Never hurts to make more $$$$
