Ea 18g News Today

The EA-18G Growler version of the F/A-18 was built as a replacement for the Navy’s previous carrier-borne EW aircraft, the EA-6B Prowler, which was retired in 2019 after 48 years of faithful service.

The U.S. government should consider offering Ukraine the EA-18G Growler, a variant of the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, to help the F-16s that the Ukrainians have on order punch holes through Russia’s front lines.

The RAAF has returned its Growler fleet to full strength, plus replacements are also needed for two 737 BBJ aircraft used for VVIP transportation.
