Your quote above (and it should have had quotation marks around it) , while in the article, was completely unsupported by facts, data, or analysis. They also specifically said that jammers were not needed for stealth aircraft, although they might be used by stealth aircraft in some cases. Despite what they stated in that article, I wouldn't run off thinking that stealth aircraft "need" jammers to operate, certainly not in the near or middle future. -- Harry Andreas Engineering raconteur |

This was not supposed to be necessary. Jumper said bluntly that the F-117s and B-2s "don't need escort jammers." However, senior USAF officials acknowledge that the stealth aircraft certainly did coordinate missions with jamming aircraft, particularly the EA-6Bs operated jointly by the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps, to increase the safety margin when attacking tough targets. -HJC |
