US deploys aircraft specialising in electronic warfare to Europe | Al Jazeera

The Pentagon has said it is deploying six Navy aircraft that specialise in electronic warfare and about 240 Navy personnel to bolster NATO defences in Eastern Europe.

Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby says the EA-18G “Growler” aircraft, based at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in Washington state, were scheduled to arrive on Monday at Spangdahlem air base in Germany, where they will be stationed. They are not intended for use in Ukraine, he said.

“The purpose of this deployment is to bolster readiness, enhance NATO’s collective defense posture and further increase air integration capabilities with our allied and partner nations,” Kirby said in a statement.
