Comments: Roosvooruzhenie, Russia's chief arms trading firm, is set to refit five Tu-142 and IL-38 maritime patrol aircraft with the Morskoy Zmei (Sea Dragon) anti-ship warfare system. These aircraft are expected to be flown from India to St. Petersburg, Russia where the refits are expected to take place. Eventually all the Tu-142s and IL-38s, in service with the IN, are expected to be upgraded.

The Sea Dragon mission avionics suite is designed to detect & intercept surface vessels and submarines within a range of 150 km, as well as detect mines and carry out surveillance. The suite can also detect airborne targets and can be linked to the Russian Glonass satellite navigation system.
