Geopolitics|December 2020
Pilots swear by it, ground crews love working on it and naval commanders consider it one of the most capable assets at their disposal. Did you know that the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet is the world's most lethal, advanced, combat-proven, multirole frontline fighter jet?
FLYING INTO ACTION WITH THE BLOCK III  SUPER HORNET

The Block III Super Hornet is the newest highly capable, affordable and available attack fighter rolling off Boeing’s assembly line. The US Navy is on contract for 78 new Block III Super Hornets and Boeing delivered the first two flight test aircraft earlier this year. Boeing will deliver operational fighters to the US Navy in 2021. With its rapid technology insertion plan, Block III will outpace threats for decades to come. This next-generation aircraft is ready to protect Indian armed forces from current and future threats.

Game Changer for the Indian Navy

The Block III Super Hornet is uniquely suited to protect India’s maritime interests as it’s built to meet the broadest range of missions. Block III delivers several unique and differentiated capabilities while being compatible with India’s naval carriers. Block III capabilities include enhanced networking and processing, longer range, reduced radar signature, an advanced cockpit, and the life of the aircraft is extended to 10,000 hours.
