| | Panavia Tornado Interdictor Strike Variant
Tornado GR.Mk 1: One of today's most important warplanes, the Tornado forms the main interdiction and strike strength available to the British, West German and Italian air forces, and has also secured a useful export order from one Middle Eastern country.
The Tornado IDS is the baseline model that resulted from a 1968 feasibility study undertaken by the Belgian, British, Canadian, Dutch, Italian and West German governments for an advanced warplane to be designed, developed and built as collaborative venture with the object of providing the air forces of the partner nations with a STOL warplane able to undertake the close air support, battlefield interdiction, long-range interdiction, counter-air attack, air-superiority, interception and air Defence, reconnaissance and naval strike roles. | |  |
