Con dinero y voluntad se pueden hacer muchas cosas, pero instalarle sensores y un C2 a un avion de aerolinea es diferente a un MPA propiamente tal derivado del mismo tipo. La propia ARA probo eso convirtiendo a MPAs a sus Electras, pero igualmente pidio despues P3B
Con un Ilyushin puedes sacar un aparato que, si no le pides maniobras bvruscas a baja cota ( AKA pegas ASW) , puede perfectamente actuar como explorador. Otra cosa es querer emplearlo con armamento, ya que ahi empiezan los dramas de puntos reforzados, cableados varios, etc, etc.
Bueno, segun la poca informacion disponible del MP propuesto, seria capaz de portar armamento y otras cosas.
IL-114MP Multi-Purpose Patrol Aircraft
The IL-114MP multi-purpose patrol aircraft is designed for aerial patrolling in littoral and blue water zones, and provides detection, identification, tracking and destruction of underwater and surface targets. The IL-114MP gathers electronic reconnaissance data on underwater and surface vessels. It can also be employed in SAR operations in emergency cases. The crew locates missing persons with the help of the onboard detection systems, and airdrops survival equipment. The IL-114MP is capable of engaging enemy surface vessels from a standoff range.
Its ASW capabilities include submarine detection, tracking and engagement, as well as planting of linear mine barriers. The avionics suite includes radar, sonobuoys, magnetic anomaly detection equipment, managing computer system, IR and television imaging system and electronic reconnaissance system. Modular design of the ASW system enables further build-up of additional equipment, including installation of any equipment or subsystems meeting the MIL-STD-1553B standard.
Pero ver para creer, honestamente.
