Isn’t a Growler an EA6-B type aircraft? Pictures here are showing it as an F-15.
The Growler is based on a stretched F-18 air frame. So, basically a fighter made into an electronic warfare aircraft.
The EA6-B was based on the A-6 Intruder attack aircraft. Both of these have been retired.
Also, the EA-6B was a two seater in the attack aircraft, stretched into a four seater. The newer EA-18G went from one seat in the fighter to two. This is a benefit from improved electronics requiring less people to operate.
Nope. Wiki —> The Boeing EA-18G Growler is an American carrier-based electronic warfare aircraft, a specialized version of the two-seat Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet. The EA-18G replaced the Northrop Grumman EA-6B Prowlers in service with the United States Navy.
I doubt that the wokesters at the ST could tell the difference between an F18 and a Stuka.
What do you expect from Fake News.
Just like every handgun is a Glock.
The A-6 EW variant is long gone.
