FA-18 - Can you explain how the fact that the ASQ-239 has an active jamming function is deadly secret, but it is OK to disclose it here? Thx.
Also, maybe I was not clear enough: If a stealthy aircraft has jamming for self-protection, it doesn't (at least it shouldn't) need a lot of watts on target. It is therefore unlikely to be very useful for standoff or escort jamming.
Spaz - Using the Terma pod is certainly an option. However, I doubt that the pod has no impact for RCS since (1) it would be difficult and expensive and (2) if you're doing strafing, which I submit is >95 per cent of the reason for the pod, stealth is not as important as in some other missions.
PS - I have no idea what JSFfan is saying since he is on my Ignore list. However, from the replies I gather that he is continuing to dig his own grave at a rate that should see him emerging on Wimbledon Common in a couple of weeks.
