Navy to induct 24 P-8I maritime reconnaissance aircraft

I have few questions on this a/c
How many torpedoes can it carry?
How low it has to fly in order to release torpedo?
How far and how deeper subs can it detect using MAD?
The sonobuoy that it drops , is it recoverable?

Thanks
 
Should have ordered some BAMS with these..

24 P-8I + 8 Tu-142 - Not bad for LRMR...
 
won't it be 3 carriers and 2 nuke subs ( akula included)????

Actually I was talking about new additions in next four years. Two new carriers as we know and apart from Akula and Ahrihant I think Aridaman will be available by 2015, so three nuke subs.
 
I would hate to see P-8I replacing Tu-142. Both should be there in the inventory.
If we can acquire some 15-20 Blackjacks to replace the Tu-142 , then our force projection capability will be much more.
