[About the actual device]
The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet was developed as an improved version of the F/A-18C/D Hornet and began deployment in 1999.
Compared to the C/D models, this version features a larger airframe and increased fuel tank capacity, resulting in a longer flight range.
It is equipped with two F414-GE-400 turbofan engines.
In addition to a fixed armament of one 20mm M61A1 Vulcan cannon, the aircraft's enlarged airframe has been modified with 11 additional hardpoints, which are said to be capable of operating almost all weapons used by the United States.
As a multirole aircraft capable of performing a variety of missions, it has demonstrated its versatility in many areas.
It is used by many units in the U.S. Navy, and one of them is VFA-137, which is called the Kestrels, named after the North American native peregrine falcon.
Established in July 1985, the aircraft was equipped with the F/A-18A Hornet from November of the same year.
From 2003 onwards, they transitioned to the F/A-18E Super Hornet.
This marked the third time the U.S. Navy had deployed F/A-18E aircraft in response to a conflict.
