I think if we upgrade Tu142 with Israel's avionics, we can use it further.Mind it, TU142 still has the longest range and power...

The abundance of B707 supplies (first and second hand from numerous domestic airframes produced) allowed the USAF to maintain its E-8 force in top condition over the years. And it's still going strong. The P8 Poseidon also taps into the same pool of readily available first hand and second hand parts owing to the abundance of B737 in service and retirement.

It means our P-8is are made up of recycled material???:shocked::shocked::shocked:

This is a good strategy overall. Adapting civilian aircrafts for military roles and modifying them accordingly. Due to large number of 737 in service, we can be assured that there will be a remote chance of a shortfall in basic and essential spares. This makes maintenance easier and less troublesome.

Not to mention that EVERY little detail and potential problems of the basic B737 is well known, researched and has been perfected by Boeing.

but we can request the radar to be placed in a B-767 just like the Japs did with their AWACS

I don't think the aircraft will have a radar like an AWACS. It is a maritime surveillance aircraft & not an AWACS.
