2007 Grumman A-6 sissetungija oli Ameerika kahe reaktiivmootoriga kesktiiva iga ilmaga ründelennuk, mille ehitas Grumman Aerospace. Aastatel 1963–1997 Ameerika Ühendriikide mereväe ja merejalaväe teenistuses olles oli sissetungija mõeldud iga ilmaga keskmise rünnakuga õhusõidukiks, et asendada kolvimootoriga Douglas A-1 Skyraider. Kuna A-6E oli pensionile jäänud, võttis selle täppisstreigi missiooni üle GRUMMAN F-14 Tomcat, mis oli varustatud LANTIRN-kapsliga. A-6-st töötati välja spetsiaalne elektroonilise sõja tuletis EA-6.

Lisainfo:
The Grumman A-6A Intruder was a twin-engine, all-weather attack aircraft that entered service with the US Navy and Marine Corps in the early 1960s. It was designed to deliver conventional or nuclear weapons with high accuracy and reliability, day or night, in any weather conditions. The A-6A was equipped with a sophisticated integrated electronic system called DIANE, which included a radar, an inertial navigation system, and a computer. The A-6A had a side-by-side cockpit arrangement, with the pilot on the left and the bombardier/navigator (BN) on the right. The A-6A had a swept wing with variable incidence and spoilers, and a tailhook for carrier landing. The A-6A could carry up to 8,170 kg of ordnance on five external hardpoints, including bombs, rockets, missiles, and mines. The A-6A saw extensive action during the Vietnam War, where it performed various missions such as interdiction, close air support, reconnaissance, and tanker. The A-6A was later upgraded to the A-6E variant, which had improved avionics and weapons systems. The A-6A Intruder was retired from service in 1997, after more than three decades of operation.
