from which country PN going to buy this bird???
A310's were only sold to Turkey and PIA by Airbus. it was not one of their more successful models. now converting to a tanker would cost an-arm-and-a-leg. would be better to upgrade the IL-78's with glass cockpit, avionics and quieter engines, and ofcourse buy a couple more.

only one ? why not 3
A deal for two MPA varient of the ATR had been signed. crew training is complete and PN is awaiting delivery in a month or two.
A naval officer did tell me that the Fokkers of PN are in very good condition. But then the newer the better.

IMO the ATR-72 will be a replacement for the Atlantiques, no?
Only if we can find out about the possible upgrades which ATRs will go through. Atlantiques were martime patrol props and a standard ATR cannot serve that purpose. The Fokkers however maybe replaced. Fingers Crossed.
It would certainly be interesting to see what happens to the FLIR Fokkers, whether they will be kept on stored and ATR perhaps be equipped with FLIR?
