US brings EA-37B ‘Compass Call’ to Iran war: The electronic attack jet that can jam communications, blind radar
The United States air force has introduced a new electronic warfare aircraft, the EA-37B Compass Call, as part of its ongoing military action against Iran. The aircraft has been spotted at RAF Mildenhall in the United Kingdom and is expected to support operations.According to updates from US Central Command, the EA-37B has recently been added to the list of assets being used in Operation Epic Fury, military campaign ordered by Donald Trump.This special element in American air force would add strength to the side in its action against Iran regime now controlled by Mojataba Khamenei. The Compass Call aircraft is a lethal warfare that can jam enemy’s communication and blind the radars too.
Flight tracking data showed that two EA-37B aircraft left Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona on March 30 and later landed in the UK, using the call signs AXIS 41 and AXIS 43. Photos shared online also confirmed the presence of the aircraft at Mildenhall, showing its modified body designed for electronic warfare systems.While the aircraft has now been listed among deployed assets, it is not yet clear whether it has carried out active missions. Officials have not shared further details, citing operational security.The US air force currently has five EA-37B aircraft, with plans to expand the fleet to ten.
What the EA-37B can do
The EA-37B is designed for electronic warfare, meaning it can disrupt enemy systems instead of directly attacking targets.
- It can jam enemy communications, radar and navigation systems
- It helps block enemy air defence systems from sharing information
- It supports both air and ground military operations
The aircraft can fly at speeds of nearly 770 miles per hour, reach heights of up to 45,000 feet, and has a range of around 4,400 nautical miles.
Crew and technology
The EA-37B carries up to nine crew members. This includes a pilot, co-pilot, and a team of specialists who handle electronic warfare operations such as signal monitoring and disruption.One of its key features is its advanced system called SWORD-A, which allows the aircraft to quickly upgrade its technology and adapt to new threats. This makes it capable of countering modern communication systems and evolving enemy tactics.Overall, the EA-37B is built to weaken enemy defences by cutting off their ability to communicate and coordinate during combat.
