US deploys new electronic warfare aircraft against Iran

The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced the deployment of new EA-37B Compass Call electronic warfare aircraft to support military operations against Iran, The Wall Street Journal reports.

This marks the first documented operational use of this variant of the Gulfstream G550 business jet, equipped with enhanced electronic warfare capabilities.
