The A-6 Intruder is a twin-engine, all-weather attack aircraft developed by Grumman for the United States Navy. First introduced in the 1960s, it was designed to carry out precision strikes against ground targets, even in poor weather conditions. The aircraft features a distinctive, low-wing design and can be equipped with a variety of weapons, including bombs and missiles. The A-6 played a significant role during the Vietnam War and later conflicts, providing vital support for ground troops. Its advanced avionics and radar systems allowed for effective navigation and targeting, making it a key asset in the Navy's fleet until its retirement in the late 1990s.
