    Mercurius,

    The Jane’s info comes from this link:

    http://www.janes.com/extracts/extract/jav/jav_1189.html

    I have purchased a copy of Jane’s Avionics, but I have not received it yet. I will let you know what I can find.

    167: yes, a ‘typo’. The company is Rodale and I have the PDFs. Interesting info and gives a good idea about the capabilities.

    188: no idea if the pod is manufactured by Northrop Grumman or another company. Thanks for the info on the jamming modes.

    cheers,

    Mercurius,

    Thanks for your kind reply. If I understand it correctly, both are ECM pods for training purposes, and not tactical use, though some sources (Jane’s) tell that the 167 can be tactically used. In the few pictures I have seen both pods look similar. I know the 167 is manufactured by Rodane, and I wonder if the 188 is manufactured by the same company, if it is an evolution of the 167 or something.

    I have read some more info about the jamming modes, but all my knowledge about these comes from readings (History of US Electronic Warfare, and so on) and it sounds gibberish to me.

    Merry Christmas,
