To safeguard commercial shipping in the Middle East, the U.S.Navy has deployed a sophisticated electronic warfare weapon in the Red Sea.
The EA-18G Growler is an airborne electronic attack version of the F/A-18 Hornet developed to support high-risk missions.
With the recent uptick in attacks on American and allied ships in the region, the Growler serves an important role in denying surface-to-air missiles and providing countermeasures to the Houthis’ relatively advanced technological capabilities.
With the latest jamming systems and anti-radar missiles, the Growler will continue to be a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.
