UK buying P-8 Poseidon

Post by Mike OTDP »

The UK Ministry of Defence has announced that the RAF will be getting nine P-8 Poseidon ASW aircraft. Which is a much-needed rebuilding of their maritime patrol capabilities.

The only question is whether or not they will buy the MQ-4C Triton to go along with it.

Well, it's not like there's really any other new long-range naval patrol aircraft on the market.
