Kawasaki P-1 | the new maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft of Japan

We are investigating the Kawasaki P-1 maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft and whether you can compete with the P-8 Poseidon in the international market. #P1 #jmsdf #patrolaircraft
Due to some copyright issues, we had to remake our Kawasaki P-1 video.
We especially thank the Nigel Woolley (@NigelWoolleyaviation) and 山本一郎 (@ch-xv4jy) channels for allowing us to use its beautiful footage.

Why did the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force demand the development of an indigenous maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft?
What are the general characteristics of the P-1?
What variants of the aircraft does Japan plan to develop?
Does the P-1 have a chance against the P-8 in the international market?

Welcome to our channel. All the weapon systems are like books. They tell us their stories. The Weapon Detective investigates these books, reads between the lines, analyse, and tells the untold. At the dawn of the Second Cold War, the fruits of new projects give us clues about the future. But current weapon systems also have their own stories. You can find in our videos technical information, historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. Let's investigate the weapons together when the Second Cold War is rising.

[@shazzatulanam6680]

what has happened to the kawasaki C-1 and C-2 videos?

[@WeaponDetective]

@@shazzatulanam6680 Thanks for your interest. Due to copyright issues, we had to remove them. We will remake them as soon as possible.

[@Kenny-yl9pc]

The P1 is a great system. Japan can be proud.

[@paulsteaven]

12:38 The Philippines already dared to be the first country to buy Japanese defense equipment when they bought the Mitsubishi Electric J/FPS-3ME air search radars instead of making a repeat order of their existing Israeli radars. They're just radars, I know, but it's a great start for Japanese defense export.

[@ArizonaAstraLLC]

I'm looking forward to seeing the success of the Japanese export defense market, they produce such interesting and underrated items

[@HarshTekie]

The omission of the MAD on the Boeing P-8 gives the Kawaski P-1 the edge.

[@daikucoffee5316]

MAD sucks. It only really works directly overhead. You can achieve better results with sonar drops.

[@mikeknowles8017]

I like it! Looks like they learned a lot from building their own P-3's. 4 Engines to get on station fast then cage 2 of them and loiter like crazy. Nice.

[@mohammedsaysrashid3587]

Another wonderful and informative video about kawasaki P1.. Maritime patrol and antisubmarine warfare aircraft's for Japanese self-defense systems ...video clearly explained all characteristics of this indigenous aircraft....thank you ( weapon detective) channel for sharing...

[@pimpompoom93726]

Very nice looking patrol aircraft, I was completely unaware of this.

[@habahan4257]

Thanks to remake this excellent video. I hope you will continue with others, like Jaguar, C-390, etc.

[@TheMidasMD]

An AWAC purposed Kawasaki P1 would be an excellent addition. The P1 would also make an excellent platform for ELINT/SIGINT purposed missions. The P1 is superior to the P8 in my opinion.

[@poil8351]

the problem it seems with japan is they build excellent equipment but never in very large numbers, iam kind of suprised japan doesn't export any of their designs overseas.

[@n1k2-ja46]

It's a great consideration. The P-2J's successor model "domestic production" plan is mentioned, and the P-1 "derivative model" plan is exactly right. However, it will be difficult to procure the planned number. Procurement plans for the MQ-9B are underway as an alternative. 素晴らしい考察です。P-2Jの後継モデルの”国産化”計画に言及、P-1の”派生型モデル”の計画まさにその通りです。だが計画数の調達は難しいでしょう。その代替案としてMQ-9Bの調達計画が進んでいます。

[@miraphycs7377]

3 man crew? It has flight engineers? Also can be equipped with Type 17 anti-ship missiles it is the one photo you showed with the yellow body. Has much higher range than either Harpoon or Type 91. I personally prefer Japanese indiginous Kawasaki P-1 to the P-8 because it can carry more sonar buoy, ammunition, has a MAD sensor and four engines. I guess the only downsides are that it lacks aerial refueling capability, do not have the ability to command and operate anti-submarine drone (yet) and relatively low MTOW. Higher MTOW will allow it to carry even deadlier weapons possibly ASM-3.

[@aymonfoxc1442]

Great video. Have you covered the Wedgetail?

[@well-blazeredman6187]

Attractive aircraft. Good video.

[@wiktorberski9272]

Less known aircraft, at least in Europe, but really interesting video

[@Senbonzakura776]

Great looking plane.

[@jeffstrong4580]

Having 4 engines causing more disruption with sensors for detection from what UK trial found out thus UK went with more expensive P8. P1 also made an error with claim that S Korean destroyers used targeting radar on them when they were using detection radar to rescue N Korean fisherman.

[@texasranger24]

Could we get a video about the German U212 class (plus export variants, future CD upgrade) next?

[@WeaponDetective]

Thanks for your interest. We plan to make a video for the U212-class submarine by the end of this year.

[@depilot2035]

Video on the hawk light ground atack and trainer

[@SAMX4949]

Video on Embraer C390?

[@WeaponDetective]

It will also be here soon

[@aaronstreeval3910]

Can you do a video on the AMX 30 tank

[@KapiteinKrentebol]

Is this a re-upload? I think I vaguely remember seeing this plane before.

[@WeaponDetective]

Yes. Due to some copyright issues, we had to remake and re-upload our Kawasaki P-1 video.

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

the Kawasaki P-1 maritime multi mission ASW aircraft could do with a more streamlined fuselage & hybrid propulsion assist . . . in the interest of sustaining low operational costs . . . a stretched fuselage variant of the P-1 would be great though . . .

[@oki1966]

Not sure being Boeing based is an advantage anymore. Boeing has its trouble due to getting too focused on military sales and not having an engineer leading the company.

[@jon1801]

Shukriya

[@johninnh4880]

Japan should give one to the Ukraine. That way other countries would see how effective they are. The P1 is an excellent aircraft. However if attainability of spare parts and "customer support" has issues, that's a show stopper. This needs to be rectified before Japan is considered a viable source.

[@sydneystout4003]

to be shot down by a MiG-31's/Su-35's R-37 AAMs? the Japanese r not that stupid!

[@thedocslab]

After the Nimrod MRA4 debacle it would have been great to see this in the UK

[@daviddj1406]

Is this a reupload?

[@WeaponDetective]

Yes. Due to some copyright issues, we had to remake and re-upload our Kawasaki P-1 video.

[@olivierpuyou3621]

Without being any expert on the subject, it seems to me that the Japanese constitution and the successive governments are rather "restrictive" in all that concerns the military field. Which should not help much for export. Why did you choose Kawasaki rather than Boeing? Already to perpetuate a national aviation (in my opinion an important strategic choice). Then Boeing's troubles, quality problems (ranging from planes losing their operating authorization to the setbacks of their starliner space capsule, I believe) Then the scandal of the crazy over-billings of Boeing vis-à-vis Japan. Some might think that's a lot. Anyway thank you for this video it was very interesting.

[@yarmud]

a tailored three engine platform could make it better. it is not late for it.

[@franciscojavierlopezmoyano8999]

Congratulations on the video. I understand that another problem to sell the P-1 to NATO nations would be the certifications, which most probably should be paid by the purchasing country. That means a lot of time and money

[@johnjephcote7636]

Don't mention the expensive debacle of the British Nimrod MR4.

[@TheWizardGamez]

I just like how beafy it looks. 4 engines. we all know its impractical. and statistically unlikely for a catastrophic engine failure to occur. but they still did it. its a beautiful craft

[@shanjida8353]

Its actually more paratical.redundency.

[@stacymcmahon453]

I would argue about the maintainability benefits of the 737-based P-8 platform. Yes there have been 10,000 units of 737 produced over the years, but the latest versions share very little with earlier ones, and the P-8 airframe has little in common with the civilian 737 MAX. P-8 is a more common platform only in comparison to the boutique, very low production P-1 airframe, and this is the real problem with all Japanese-made weapon platforms. A comparison to South Korea is in order, because the ROK should have the same problems but has managed to overcome them and make large foreign sales of MBTs, SP howitzers and MLRS. The ROK is doing something right, perhaps related to policy on weapon technology exports.

[@aymonfoxc1442]

Having a similar civillian airframe that is in use should still help with logistics and maintainability (even if it is just for newer fleets), as both will create demand for ongoing supplies of spare parts and their production. You're quite right, until recently Japan has forbidden arms exports (particularly to warzones), whereas the Republic of Korea has been actively searching for export partners and is also open to technology sharing with few demands. The South Koreans are going to be manufacturing their arms in Poland and Australia and transferring technology to companies in those countries.

[@shazzatulanam6680]

But there is a differance is a differance.South korea maintains a big ground army so they produce a lots of armour even that is derivative.we are talking about aircraft here.besides in arms netwoks you need experiance and networks.south korea has exported weapons before but in this field japan is an infant in comparison .

[@r.b6170]

and now, Japan has decided to retire and replace it with drones. When exactly, it hasn't said.

[@martinbisschoff988]

Two stroke or four stroke???? 😅

[@poppinc8145]

10:42 Thailand actually buys a lot of Chinese weapons nowadays, arguably more than Western weapons. You may actually want to do some research on that.

[@ilovecops5499]

Kawasaki is a motorcycle.

[@kutter_ttl6786]

Kawasaki makes lots of stuff, not just motorcycles.

[@user-dv5gi7hv5f]

P-1은 한국에서 P-8포세이돈의 강력한 경쟁자였습니다, 하지만 서플라이체인에서 해외실적이 없는 일본은 감점을 되었고 이에 따라 엔진이 4개인 점이 더욱 부각되어 재감점 되었습니다. The P-1 was a strong competitor for the P-8 Poseidon in Korea, but Japan, which has no overseas performance in the supply chain, was deducted, which further highlighted the fact that it had four engines.

[@oilguygamer1744]

Japan is not allowed to sell military hardware to anyone.

[@bagongkelabu]

Hogwash. Japan made changes to their laws allowing them to do so.

[@oilguygamer1744]

"So far, Japan has maintained its position that the three principles under its war-renouncing Constitution ban lethal weapons exports, except for items jointly developed or produced with other countries, which can be transferred among them". A Quote from Kyodo news last month.

[@bagongkelabu]

Do you read Thai or Mandarin or Malay or any other major Asian language? The Japanese have identified 12 fellow Asian nations that they'll be willing to sell their defence products to. The Japs will sell IF they deem we neighbours are in need of their weapons. So far they have transferred Navy ships to the Philippines and Coast Guard cutters to Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia. The Japs have ready transfer retired patrol aircraft to the Philippines.

[@user-dv5gi7hv5f]

bagongkelabu의 말이 옳다 , 도쿄는 2014년 무기수출 3원칙을 폐기하고 2015년부터 무기수출을 위해 최선을 다하고 있다. 그러나 레이더및 작은 규모의 성과는 있으나 핵심장비들은 아직 성과가 없다. Bagongkelabu is right, Tokyo abolished the three principles of arms exports in 2014 and has been doing its best to export weapons since 2015.However, while radar and etc. small-scale performance have been achieved, core equipment has yet to be accomplished.

[@TheDboy82]

Wtf! Having 4 engines on such a small plane seems inefficient AF!!!

[@shazzatulanam6680]

four less powerful engines in a lighter body.the idea is same for p3 orion.3 engines are better than 2 engines.these planes go on long operations.on engine loss is a big problem in 2 engine aircraft it is a smaller problem it is has four engines.pretty easy.
