Historical description:

The Boeing EA-18G Growler was developed as the successor to the Grumman EA-6B Prowler. Based on the F/A-18F Super Hornet carrier fighter, the Growler retains excellent aerodynamic properties and outstanding performance—powered by two General Electric engines, it can reach speeds of Mach 1.8. Its main role is to conduct electronic warfare missions, jamming enemy radars and protecting friendly and allied aircraft. The Growler made its debut in 2009 during the conflicts in Iraq and Syria, proving to be an effective tool for electronic dominance on the modern battlefield.
