No i’m not.
But if not the Yakhont, then perhaps some newer and smaller sticks.Teoretical, it should be able to carry X3 Brahmos sticks.
Brahmos is really heavy and big though
holy **** seem like it can
Growler is the key enabler which allows the F/A-18 strikers to get close enough to an enemy Surface Action Group to employ JSOWs.
JSOW and other stealth missiles probably have 1000 times less RCS than old missiles such as AGM-84 , so jamming will be incredibly effective
You do know those extra fuel tanks aren’t permanent and they can be switched out with other ordnance?
opps
damm i didnot realize that , so 1 EA-18G can carry 2 HARMs and 2 AGM-84 and use it’s powerful jamming to support them overcome the ship defense ? , seem like a plan .
But i think i have a better one , since JSM is about the same size and weight as JSOW , it also use the same slug size , EA-18G can carry 2 of them per pylon using
Bru-55 ( total of 4 JSM per aircraft + 2 HARMs ) , since it a stealth missiles , jamming will be alot more effective
or you can use F-35 and carry total of 10 JSM per aircraft ( 2 JSM per external pylon using BRU-69/A ) , APG-81 can also do jamming , may be not as good as ALQ-99 though
like this
The EA-18G can carry any weapon the F/A-18F can carry so I don’t understand why the Growler couldn’t carry Harpoons? The US Navy just doesn’t use the Growler in that role because it doesn’t have to worry about anti-shipping missions.
because that outter station are not rated for weapon as heavy as harpoon , only for small , light weapon like HARMs or AAM ( if you notice the pylon there are smaller ) , the inner station are already for ALQ-99
I feel like this thread should have a poll!
EF-18G with jamming equipment and harpoons wins my vote.
yeah , but i dont know how to make a pool though , btw EA-18G can only carry 2 agm-88 as self defense weapon
