The U.S. Air Force just sent its newest, high-tech “secret weapons” across the ocean. Two brand-new EA-37B Compass Call aircraft were spotted landing at Mildenhall Air Base in the UK today.
These aren’t bombers or fighters. Instead, they are the ultimate “hackers of the sky.” Their job isn’t to drop bombs, but to “jam” enemy electronics—making it impossible for bad guys to talk to each other or see anything on their radar.
The “AXIS” Flight Path
Aviation experts (people who track planes for fun) followed the two jets as they flew from Arizona to the UK.
- Tail Numbers: 19-1587 and 17-5579
- Call Signs: AXIS41 and AXIS43
After a quick fuel stop in New Jersey, they touched down at Mildenhall. But they aren’t staying in England for long. Experts believe they are headed straight for the Middle East to join Operation Epic Fury.

Why These Planes Are a Big Deal
For a long time, the U.S. used big, slow propeller planes (the EC-130H) for this job. But the new EA-37B is built out of a Gulfstream G550—a super-fast business jet.
What can they do?
- Ghost Mode: They can fly much higher and faster than the old planes, making them harder to hit.
- Signal Scrambler: They can “blind” enemy radars and mess up their GPS, making it impossible for them to aim missiles.
- The “Replacement” Crew: Recently, a drone strike in Saudi Arabia reportedly damaged some older U.S. jammer planes. These new EA-37Bs are coming in as the “heavy-duty” replacements to keep U.S. troops safe.
The Middle East Connection
With the “Iran war” heating up, the U.S. is moving a lot of hardware into the region. Alongside these jammer jets, the U.S. is also sending a third aircraft carrier and more “Warthog” attack planes.
By sending the EA-37Bs, the U.S. is trying to make sure that if a fight happens, the enemy won’t even be able to pick up a radio or see a blip on a screen. It’s like bringing a “mute button” to a battlefield.
The Bottom Line: These jets represent the future of “invisible” warfare. If they head to Turkey or Saudi Arabia next, it’s a clear sign that the U.S. is preparing for a much bigger electronic battle.
