#2 smn,
I don't think so. The P-3C is light years beyond the old Bears they were flying. I think this is just a bargaining tool.

#3 Bears were modernised with Israeli electronics and arent in same class with P-3, being bigger. Il-38 Mays in another hand are and they have been modernised by Russians. Same sets that Russians proposed for Bear but Indians said that was inferior to Israeli proposal.

I doubt that P-3´s without being updated can reach the levels of both.
