The US Air Force's EA-37B Compass Call electronic warfare aircraft has arrived at RAF Mildenhall in the United Kingdom, according to a report from the Arabic-language security analyst Abu Saleh. The aircraft, capable of jamming radar, communications, and data links, is en route to the Middle East as part of an ongoing American force buildup in the region. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the EA-37B was en route to the Middle East after a stop at the UK base. The deployment follows the departure of a similar aircraft in June after the signing of a memorandum of understanding, and comes amid a broader US military buildup that includes two aircraft carriers, B-1B bombers, and advanced fighter jets.
