What weapons n sensors its occupied ? or still PN going to use 70's made harpoon missile ?

We need to understand the terminology of inducting a platform. It has to be fully loaded if new built, before handing over to the service.

In this case since bird was in use already, the airframe is evaluated in current form if it can fill the role for which we are acquiring, since we are satisfied, we inducted the platform in current shape and now we will go for upgradation, installing, equipping and updating it to our needs and doctrine in view of future challenges and changing dynamics of modern Warfare.

OK just came in my mind this similar to the 'induction' of Yarmook and Tabuk OPVs .... sensor will be integrated later

@Rashid Mahmood shaib once explain about this ... which I don't remember exactly ..... so If possible Rashid Shaib might you explain it again ....

Yes, the aircraft has been inducted but integration of weapons & sensors will be done later.

As this is not a designed LRMP, it will be handed over to a modification company for installation/integration of sensors on a later date.

All ATRs went through a similar upgrade/mod.

I don't see outboard rails for AAMs installed. Those hardpoints can be used for ECM pods.
Need 2 aft hardpoints for torpedoes. Ideal would be an internal weapons bay. What about a MAD boom?
