  1. Best electronic attack aircraft. Can't wait till it gets it's sensor upgrades as it still uses the ALQ218 and ALQ99 which were used on the Prowler which is still the best to date. When it gets the AN/ALQ-249 Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band upgrade it will be even better then it is now and that is saying something since it's already the best.

  2. ​ @philipcoffman4372  The S300 sucks, it sucks so bad they had to rename it the S400, as the S400 was literally called the S300 originally. It's been beaten many times sources below "The S-400 Triumf NATO reporting name: SA-21 Growler), previously known as the S-300 PMU-3" "Against S400 ? It has 600km radar , i dont think it can do anything agaist that" It's radar can track large objects(10+ square meters), and objects up to 4 square meter up to around 400km. "The anti-Stealth targeting range for the 91N6E panoramic radar has been declared to be 150 km. Maximum detection ranges (as determined by the radar's characteristics) are: 230 kilometers for ballistic targets 390 km for a target with an RCS of 4 square meters 570 km for a target of strategic bomber size" The EA18 growler RCS is classified but the F/A18 has a 1m2 RCS so it's less then that. "Remember donald cook and su24 with jamming system "khibini" turned donald cook off with aegis and every screen got black .....as soon as they came to romani an port several of sailors didnt want to serve anymore and signed the discharge papers." Please troll someone else i block blatant trolls. The Su24 doesn't have khibiny... You can't just disable an entire ship they run off different systems... To openly attack a ship at sea would star a war. Lay off the Russian propaganda. I mean even the manufacture came out and said it was fake lol. "According to no less than the manufacturer of the Russian EW system, known as the Concern of Radio-Electronic Technology, which is part of state enterprise Rostech, the system is only installed on Su-30, Su-34 and Su-35 aircraft." S400 failing sources: Youtube "Tomahawk Missile Remains, at Syrian Air Base - Close Up and Personal" to see Russias own ANNA news show off a tomahawk defeating the S300/400 and them showing off the damage. Can't link do to youtube censorship. "Modern methods of warfare are different from those of the 90s. Unmanned aircraft is an important factor in our combat capability, especially in such fortified areas…. Both Turkish Israeli drones helped us a lot. We have destroyed at least 6 S-300 air defense systems using them,” Aliyev said during an interview with the General Director of the Interfax-Azerbaijan agency Anar Azizov." "Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) commander Brigadier General Farzad Ismaili, who had been in office since 2010, has been fired by Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after he kept secret that Israeli Air Force (IAF) F-35 stealth fighters had violated Iran’s airspace, the Kuwaiti daily Al Jarida reported on Saturday." "Russia’s advanced air defense systems, the S-300s and S-400s, were ineffectual in detecting Israeli F-35 stealth fighters flying over Syrian capital Damascus, Israeli media reported. Israeli media published the flight route of its planes, reportedly F-35 Adir jets, that showed the jets entering Syrian airspace and crossing over its capital city, evading hundreds of kilometres of area shielded by Russian-made air defense systems."

  3. US is picky on who these get sold to as only Australia has them other then the US. As another poster said they are expensive at over 100 million each, you could buy a 5th gen f35a for about 40 million less. So it's a trade off. 5th gen fighter or get the navy some nice toys.

  4. They use the same EW sensors the ALQ99 and ALQ218. The growlers still hasn't gotten the AN/ALQ-249 Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band upgrade.

  5. Agreed but the US is picky on who they sell them too as only Australia has them other then the US. Also at over 100 million each, they are rather expensive when a F35a costs around 40 million less(granted its EW isn't as good), but is a 5th generation fighter. So many nations outright can't afford them and those that can have to choose between the F35a or Growler which both have their pros and cons. "The US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) has notified Congress of a potential $125m foreign military sale (FMS) of EA-18G Growler electronic attack aircraft to Australia. The aircraft will replace an in-service RAAF EA-18G jet that was lost in an accident in January 2018."

  6. As another poster said Australia has them. You are right though the US is picky about who gets them but the cost is also enormous as they cost over 100 million each which is around 40 million more expensive then a F35a putting a lot of nations out of the question on price alone. "The US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) has notified Congress of a potential $125m foreign military sale (FMS) of EA-18G Growler electronic attack aircraft to Australia. The aircraft will replace an in-service RAAF EA-18G jet that was lost in an accident in January 2018."

  7. What isn't good against it lol. It's just a renamed s300, like how Russia renamed the T72 to T90 since it did so bad. It's been beaten many times. "The S-400 Triumf NATO reporting name: SA-21 Growler, previously known as the S-300 PMU-3" Some sources of it failing: I can't link the first one youtube keeps deleting my comment with a link, so look up on youtube "Tomahawk Missile Remains, at Syrian Air Base - Close Up and Personal" to see Tomahawks beat the s300/400 and Russias own news talk about it. "Modern methods of warfare are different from those of the 90s. Unmanned aircraft is an important factor in our combat capability, especially in such fortified areas….

  8. I remember in 2018 in the Battle of Khasham that Putler tried to hide, 40 US soldiers took out 200-300 Russians... Audio is on youtube... Source below as well. Then to hear Russia say any missile strike on them they would consider nuclear since they were scared little school girls. "MOSCOW — Russia will perceive any ballistic missile launched at its territory as a nuclear attack that warrants a nuclear retaliation, the military warned in an article published Friday. The harsh warning in the official military newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda (Red Star) is directed at the United States, which has worked to develop long-range non-nuclear weapons." "According to the U.S. military's official statement, around 10 p.m. local time on the night of 7 February 2018, a force of 500 pro-government fighters consisting of local militiamen, government soldiers, Iranian-trained Afghan Shia fighters, and reportedly Russian contractors launched an assault on a Syrian Democratic Forces headquarters near the town of Khasham, located on the Euphrates River in Syria. Supported by T-72 and T-55 tanks, the pro-government troops first shelled the SDF base with artillery, mortars, and rockets in what U.S. military officials described as a "coordinated attack." Around 20–30 shells landed within 500 meters of the headquarters. According to the U.S. military, the presence of U.S. special operations personnel in the targeted base elicited a response by U.S.-led coalition aircraft, including AC-130 gunships, F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets, unmanned aerial vehicles (MQ-9), AH-64 Apache attack helicopters, B-52s, and F-22s"

  9.  @The.Drunk-Koala  The US has over 100 EA18 Growlers. There are around 150 of them total with 12 being Australian. The first lot purchase was for 57. "The EA-18G Growler aircraft entered service with the US Navy in 2009 and as of July 2015, a total of 115 Growlers have been built for the Navy." "The U.S Navy has ordered a total of 57 aircraft to replace its existing EA-6B Prowlers in service, all of which will be based at NAS Whidbey Island save for Reserve Squadron VAQ-209 based at NAF Washington, MD. The US DoD gave approval for the EA-18G program to begin low-rate initial production in 2007"

  10.  @The.Drunk-Koala  No problem, we all are human. Australia has 12 again(unless you lost another) as the US sold one to make up for the loss :) source below. Thank you for not flipping out and doubling down, a lot of people on here tend to do that. Have a good day/night. "The US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) has notified Congress of a potential $125m foreign military sale (FMS) of EA-18G Growler electronic attack aircraft to Australia.

  11. Carter was the most hated/worst president by polls. Biden is coming in though to seemingly take that lead from Carter. It's not surprising as Bidens admin is pro-woke, pro-green new deal, anti-oil, pro open borders, anti-gun, overspending, lifting sanctions on Russia/Germany pipeline originally while stopping our own, got Americans killed in the terrible withdrawal, bombed that innocent family, can't speak without the White house staff needing to clarify everything, and overall just anti-American and against American values. I don't know what good honestly the 30-40 percent(depending on poll) think he has done to make the 30-40 percent still saying they approve of him. He has been downright horrible unless you are a socialist, they tend to be the ones still supporting him.

  12. Pretty much the same thing EW suite wise as they use the exact same sensors, the ALQ 99 and 218.
