The aim was to commission a specialized carrier-based electronic warfare aircraft to replace the outdated Grumman EA-6B Prowler. The Growler is directly derived from the tandem-seat fighter F\/A-18 F Super Hornet and retains all of its main aerodynamic features and characteristics. Its General Electric engines enable the Growler to attain a maximum speed of mach 1.8 and its flight performance is similar to that of the main carrier-based aircraft. The 2-man crew consists of the pilot and a WSO (Weapon System Officer). In place of the F\/A-18’s 20 mm cannon the Growler has a dedicated electronic warfare system mounted. Additionally, on its hard points, the Growler can carry high and low band jamming pods, additional fuel tanks and AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Italeri \/ 1\/48 \/ Jet","offer_id":53209358303512,"sku":"Ita2824","price":830.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0141\/5256\/4794\/files\/eTPsLnV725P3JvOj0D6DG4GLIV99JSUI6MkuS8GT.jpg?v=1794239451","url":"https:\/\/swordandboard.co.za\/products\/italeri-1-48-ea-18g-growler","provider":"Sword \u0026 Board Games and Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
