The ECR version has been developed for the Luftwaffe and was subsequently also introduced by the Italian Air Force. Its special purpose is to attack anti-aircraft missile systems.The planes are equipped with sensors which intercept enemy radar of missile launchers, locate their position and attack them with AGM-88 high-speed anti-radiation missiles and thus stay beyond the reach of the enemy positions.
