I guess you are wrong with the CN-235. We already ordered three CN-295 as our medium lift fixed wing aircraft. We will most likely be using the CN-295, as our long range maritime patrol aircraft like the CN-295 MPA, for commonality in order to streamline logistics and support. The CN-295 is 3 meters longer than the CN-235. The CN-295 MPA from Airbus and the customized CN-295 by Elbit Systems are considered to be the strong contenders to meet the requirements specified by the DND. We will be ordering 2 aircrafts that will serve as long range maritime patrol aircrafts.
