The P2012s will be another valuable addition to the PN's growing MPA/ISR fleet, complementing the Sea Sultan, Sea Eagle & P-3C Orion. There is already speculation that, if the aircraft perform as expected, the Navy may expand the fleet with additional 4-6 airframes.

With their low operating costs & excellent suitability for maritime surveillance, the P2012s are ideally suited for routine day-to-day patrols along Pakistan's coastline & within its maritime boundaries. By taking on these missions, they would free up the more capable Sea Eagles, P-3C Orions & up-coming Sea Sultans to undertake longer-range MPA/ISR missions & extended patrols farther out at sea.

Although the P2012 is an unarmed platform, this is unlikely to be a significant limitation. Any strike or armed interdiction mission could instead be undertaken by the Akıncı, CH4/5 or the upgraded Shahpar-III, allowing the P2012 to remain focused on its primary MPA/ISR role.

PNs MPA/ISR Fleet (current & upcoming) ...

~ 6-8 Sea Eagles (ATR/RAS-72)
~ 6-8 P3C Orions
~ 10-12 Sea Sultans (Embraer E-195s)
~ 2-8 (P2012s)

Pakistan Successfully Tests Indigenous TIPU 155 mm Precision-Guided Artillery Shell

The Pakistan Army has successfully tested the indigenous TIPU 155 mm precision-guided artillery shell, achieving a direct hit on its designated target during the trial.

The TIPU employs laser or GPS guidance to engage both stationary and moving targets with high accuracy at ranges of up to 20 km. Compatible with 155 mm howitzers, including the SH-15, it provides a cost-effective precision-strike capability while enhancing the Army's long-range firepower.
