EA-18G "Growler" procurment leaves USAF out of the picture


Ares, a defense technology website, reports that the U.S. navy is moving ahead with its production of 85 of the specialized F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, known as "Growlers". The agreement between the USAF and the Navy, who provides thier current electronic warfare airplanes, the EA-6B Prowler, (as seen above) to the USAF for support operations is set to end in 2012, and the Navy is buying only enough for its own use. So what will the USAF do?
