Turkey’s HAVA SOJ airborne standoff jammer shown in clearer imagery

New imagery shows Turkey’s HAVA SOJ (Airborne Standoff Jammer) test aircraft with external fairings/antennas, indicating progressing integration of an indigenous standoff electronic attack/ESM suite on a Global 6000 platform. The system is described as analogous to EA-37B-style long-range deception/noise jamming to suppress air defenses and disrupt C2 without entering hostile airspace, suggesting a significant new regional EW capability nearing operational status.
