Default U.S. offers naval reconnaissance planes to India

India had five Il-38s. Two were lost in a mid-air collision. This
leaves three Il-38s and eight Tu-142s to patrol a long coast line. In
addition, the Tu-142 are not very well equipped for maritime patrol.

Despite what the article says, production switched from the P-3B to P-3C
in 1969. Hence, the airframes are more like 35 years old.
