The P-8A Poseidon has proven to be an attractive proposition for many countries, with Germany the latest to sign on the dotted line
The German Navy (Deutsche Marine) will acquire five P-8As from 2024 to replace its P-3C Orion fleet, which has been in service since 2005. Germany acquired eight second-hand Orions from the Dutch Navy and a proposed capability upgrade programme has now been cancelled

The five German P-8As will officially serve in an interim capacity, bridging a gap between retirement of the P-3C Orion and introduction of the French-German Maritime Airborne Warfare System (MAWS) programme in the mid-2030s
