Before diving into why nations are showing interest in acquiring the newer FA 18 Super Hornet variants, let’s go back to the period of its history. The Super Hornet is an upgraded version of the original FA 18 Hornet, which was produced by McDonnell Douglas and Northrop for about 23 years, starting in 1974 and introduced in January 19 83. Boeing took over production of the FA 18 Hornet in 1997 following its merger with McDonnell Douglas. The Hornet represented a breakthrough in several aspects. It was the first aircraft designed to perform both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions effectively. Additionally, it was among the pioneers in employing digital fly-by-wire flight controls and incorporating carbon fiber wings - an innovation seen for the first time in combat aircraft.
