Boeing P-8 Poseidon: America's Most Advanced Submarine Hunter

[@Hangry_Hungarian]

I don’t know why but I think it’s so cool having an airliner with missiles and other weapons. Makes them look awesome!

[@bdub1934]

check out rapid dragon

[@Hangry_Hungarian]

@bdub1934 I never knew such a thing existed, just like a large box carrying a bunch of missiles. Pretty interesting

[@novemberalpha6023]

India has been using it in the Himalayan region too. It seems to be a potent surveillance aircraft to survey the high altitude ground based targets.

[@LemonHead-sq5ws]

Omg it probably smells in that plane

[@PraneethP-qf1yt]

​@@LemonHead-sq5ws yes, it smells like McDonald's

[@Shrike200]

That cockpit is virtually identical to the standard NG. It was entertaining spotting the differences.

[@bukktoof]

My first really duty station in the Navy was with VP-11 out of Brunswick, ME. Back then we flew P-3 Orion, love seeing the new stuff

[@trvman1]

Live near Myrtle Beach, these are flying around here all the time between Charleston and Wilmington, NC. They fly over my house a few thousand feet up.

[@user-wg3wj6ur9z]

Went to an AWESOME airshow at that base 25-30 years ago, they had an f117!!!!!!

VP-1, Barbers pt Hawaii. P3 super B

[@SumanDas-xx5nc]

Thanks America from india for selling us these beautiful and super powerful bird❤️

[@beyond_the_infinite2098]

P-8 is more advanced but my heart is with the P3C Orion it replaced. 10 years as an avionics tech on P3C at Navy Depot Alameda I repaired many a black box and circuit card. Love the sound of the Allison turboprops The gold old days.

[@NoName-ds5uq]

Yeah, my days in the Royal Australian Navy we often spent time operating with RAAF P-3Cs. They’d fly low and throw those things around almost pretending to be fighter pilots! I got to go onboard one once, not in flight, in Malaysia at RMAF Butterworth and they showed a handful of us footage they’d recorded just prior of a Soviet destroyer in the area. Now I’m showing my age! 🤣 And you’re right about the sound of those four engines, it was amazing! 737s are just normal jet noise…

[@Iden_in_the_Rain]

I’ve never heard of the P3C before so I just looked it up and man does it look cool. It’s like the DC-3 had an edgy older brother (I know the DC-3 is from a different company, the P3C just reminded me of it)

[@fooman2108]

Navy brat. Stationed at NAS Alameda (dad had San Jose there). Later dad was COMSeaBear out of NAS Jax.

[@mrsocal09]

They could shutdown 1 or more engines to stay on station longer. Not needed w' the P8.

[@fooman2108]

@Iden_in_the_Rain the P-3 Orion was based on the Lockheed Electra airliner. I always thought it was hilarious that five decades after the Electra is no longer used as an air liner, the Orion is STILL in service around the world. P.S. 'Based on' is an extreme exaggeration (most thf the airframe is modified by now) engines, sensors, weapons suite, electronic warfare suite(s), are all generations from the Ekectra, and her modified ancestors.

[@ivanrivas9094]

Nice. I love it. I was a Bravo IFT then one of the first P-3C Baseline IFTs. Loved every moment. VP-40, VP-17, and VP-10.

[@xcofcd]

You can find them often operating at the black sea at the moment. They're a little hard to find as they don't display a callsign. Today they have one at the border of Romania , Moldova and Ukraine by the black sea operating with one of the British RC-135W for example...

[@cfrasier1419]

[@scottnolan2833]

I served on P-3s in VP-45 out of Jacksonville. Love seeing this new stuff! So cool.

[@Fester_]

[@Plasmaburn-n4y]

Ive worked on this plane for 4 years and i love it

[@johnnytyler5685]

What a great vid. For some reason, I had always pictured the internal weapons bay of the P-8 opening to the INSIDE of the fuselage of the aircraft. Like the torpedoes were on some kind of launcher that was up inside the fuselage, and maybe there were spare torpedoes off to the sides that were loaded onto the launcher similarly to how they are loaded into the torpedo tubes on a submarine...something of that nature. I don't know why that was an assumption I made, but I've never actually seen what the inside of the weapons bay on a P-8 looked like! Seeing that it is more like the internal weapons bay of an F-22 or F-35 was a revelation to me.

[@NipunCDG]

Indian Navy have these, latest ones....WoW!!! Wonderful Chinese Submarine Killer.

[@NorthForkFisherman]

The Chinese sailors do that on their own. Didn't they just kill a crew by driving them into an obstacle they placed on the seafloor themselves?

[@PraneethP-qf1yt]

​@@NorthForkFisherman no they kill by sinking their new nuclear submarine 😂

Way back in the day, the RCAF had a maritime patrol aircraft built by Canadair called the CP-107 Argus. Piston engine, crew of 15 , long endurance. How long? One record flight was 31 hours. Now we all know that in Greek mythology, Argus was a giant creature with a hundred eyes. Additionally, Armourers will inform you of the fact that Argus also had 15 azzholes.

I wonder why the buoys are kept in the crew compartment with manual loading and deployment instead of configured like underbelly hardpoints

[@michaelscarn7375]

not an expert but I suspect it may have something to do with a fact that there are nearly 150 of them and placing that much stuff outside will create untold amount of drag. Not to mention it will needlessly subject them to elements for prolong time

[@scottjackson5173]

Yes, it all looks so very impressive. Finding submarines is very difficult from 35,000 feet. Flying at mach 0.8. Even with all the advanced systems. A lower and slower airplane like Japan's four turboprop amphibious aircraft is needed to find a truly modern submarine. It can have all the same advanced systems including a nice MAD boom.

[@rifamycin]

You know they don’t have to fly that high or that fast when conducting a search for subs, right?!? Plus even those slower planes relied on advance systems, since subs usually don’t just sit on the surface of the water.

[@scottjackson5173]

@@rifamycin Loiter time for a 737, isn't great. Of course they can go lower and slower. Really bad for fuel economy. It may seem counterintuitive, but it actually uses more fuel to do that. So it depends on range, onboard fuel capacity and the availability of midair refueling. Assuming of course that the capability is included with the P-8 package modifications to the 737 airframe. Which makes the P-8 great for area three dimensional ASW coordination. Yet, you still need low level sono buoys as well as platforms like a P-2 or P-3, or S-3 for more direct detection and prosecution of submarine contacts.

[@rifamycin]

@@scottjackson5173 True. The P-8 does have the ability to mid-air refuel. I would think that if the navy wanted a turbo prop plane for this roll they would have just converted a C-130 for the job. The only other advantage I see with the P-8 is the availability of parts due to its relationship with 737s.

[@scottjackson5173]

@@rifamycin I would have been shocked if the P-8 was NOT capable of aerial refueling. As for the rest? Perhaps there is a new top secret feature to the P-8, that makes all the difference. Trouble is, I just don't believe that. There is a rapidly growing body of evidence that the DOD is dominated by cronyism, corruption, and incompetence. As part, and parcel to politically motivated removal of highly qualified people. Look at the decks of USN carriers. Where are the long range bombers? The long range fleet interceptors, or the long range ASW aircraft? Anyone who thinks that we can win a war against a true blue water navy? One that enjoys greater numbers rapid loss replacement, as well as, stolen US military technology? Without the very BEST we can build? Nations that assume that they can't lose a war? Usually lose that war. We are headed not only on course to WW-III, but towards our ultimate defeat! After all? If the United States is not a great country? Why would anyone be willing to die, in a war to defend it?

[@scottjackson5173]

@@rifamycin Unfortunately I think that the PRIMARY purpose of picking the 737 airframe, is the 737 parts commonly available. To make the program a CHEAP, as possible. After all, it's peace time, then there is more money for sexier projects like the F-35.
