Australia ahead of time received a batch of American aircraft electronic warfare EA-18G Growler Australia ahead of time received a batch of American aircraft electronic warfare. July 7, defenseworld.net reported that Boeing Corporation supplied the Australian Air Force with the latest pair of EA-18G Growler aircraft.
The contract for the supply of electronic warfare aircraft EA-18G Growler was signed between the Australian Ministry of Defense and Boeing Corporation in 2014. According to the contract, the delivery was to be completed no later than 2020, but yesterday it became known that the last two "Grumblers" from the twelve ordered arrived in Australia.
Australia became the first country after the US, whose army was armed with aircraft fighters EA-18G Growler. The first "Grumbling" was delivered to Australia in February this year and demonstrated at the international air show AVALON.
The EA-18G Growler is based on the F / A-18F Super Hornet deck fighter - externally they are almost identical (the difference is only in the modified shape of the wing and the presence of external pylons with radio electronic equipment). However, internally this is fundamentally different in terms of capabilities and designation of aircraft, although the "Grumbling" has retained the ability to carry and apply various types of missile and bomb weapons. The E / A-18G aircraft are equipped with AN / APG-79 radars, as well as electronic intelligence and suppression equipment from the American company Northrop Grumman.
