Looks the same as their old steam powered fighters. My assumption is the author is not knowledgeable enough to say "Electronic Warfare aircraft". |

Virtual, The aircraft is similar to an EA-18G Growler, which incidentally looks just like an F/A-18E/F, itself a development of the F/A-18A-D which in itself is derived from the 1970s YF-17. |
