EA-18G "Growler"
wrote...
Does the Navy have any better options than the Growler? Probably not... However, that is solely because of the politics and economics of the Navy's failure to open the bid for the airplane to fair competition. That trend started with the F/A-18E/F, and continues. We continue to be saddled with a marginally aerodynamically suitable airframe for air-to-ground weapons delivery, a marginally fuel-[in]efficient fighter/fleet defense aircraft, and a potentially marginally effective EW platform because of it. Yep! It's fun to fly! Nope! It never met the specs!
