The EF-111 thinks the EA-18G loiter time is cute.

Up to four nuclear bombs on four pivoting wing pylons, and two in internal weapons bay. Wing pylons carry total external load of 25,000 pounds (11,250 kilograms) of bombs, rockets, missiles, or fuel tanks.  F-111B US Navy Carrier Trials (Rare & Silent) |

Also, the while the EF-111 was damn good, its generators couldn't output enough electricity to power the jamming equipment like the EA-6 Prowler did. Prowlers put out a LOT of jamming power. |

Why would an ECM jamming plane carry nuclear devices? Also, the while the EF-111 was damn good, its generators couldn't output enough electricity to power the jamming equipment like the EA-6 Prowler did. Prowlers put out a LOT of jamming power. One stop shopping. Makes a lot of sense from a non-pilot viewpoint. Jam your way to the target. You ain't coming home anyhow. |
