Just in case the plane is not recognized immediatly, it’s the PW-MK.I from Project Wingman, cool video game, I recommend it for the planes, the music and the memes.

    Problem is that makes the growler a huge target. It can’t really hide when it’s emitting so much. It can be somewhat further back, but it’ll still need to be pretty close to the action to be effective jamming.

      Exactly. The growler is great when it’s emitters outrange the enemy missiles, not so much when they don’t.

      Now granted, I dont think I’m smarter than the entire US Navy, so they probably thought of this too, but it seems like a big issue to me.

        I believe US doctrine is to overwhelm the enemy’s air force and air defense within an hour and establish air dominance. There is no way to do that stealthily.

        The decoy drones would need to be emitting too, or it’d need to stop emitting for a while once the missile gets close. But that is a pretty good idea.
