Sea Sultan Long-Range MPA | Updates & Discussion

But we're not going to to use those for commercial use. Those spares will be treated as "military components"

PN didn't buy new jets from Embraer, they likely wouldn't be new spares from Embraer. 3rd party, used spares or intermediaries can be used.

And why would Embraer have an issue with PN's military use. Embraer is not Lockheed Martin. They want their jets and spares to sell. This only improves the appeal for their aircraft. PN is not a blacklisted organization.

I have the exact information for the induction delay but would like to reserve my comments for now based on too many prying eyes here. And as far as intuition is concerned, that has never let me down.

And handing over the first PN Lineage 1000 VVIP to the PAF for AF One transport is not a good sign as well. This aircraft was to be used as a trainer for future pilots.

The platform is 2 a penny, and can have no bearing on the success of the platform given the manufacturing times of the conversion into the Sea Sultan itself. Backfilling the VIP will be easy.

Pakistan has purchased a number f platforms from Embraer and has a working relationship with them already.

As for the "trust me bro" information - well.

Maybe the project is indeed delayed but not for the reasons you alluded to.

@Par 5 's information has been correct in the past. He may or may not have 100% correct information and part of it might be intuition as he himself said but I wouldn't dismiss it outright.
