The Panavia Tornado is a family of twin-engine, variable-sweep wing multi-role combat aircraft, jointly developed and manufactured by Italy, the United Kingdom and Germany.

In addition the Tornado GR.4 Force trains and maintains a capability with legacy weapons such as 1000lb dumb weapons, Paveway II and III and the AIM 9L. The Tornado GR.4A is also a world leader in the specialised field of all-weather, day and night tactical reconnaissance.

Tornado GR4 is a highly capable frontline aircraft, iconic for its impressive swing role capabilities.

The Tornado GR.4 is a variable geometry attack aircraft produced by Panavia. The Tornado GR.4 was produced in the Strangereal world as one of the final variants of the Tornado series, being a major upgrade to the ground attack capabilities of the Tornado GR.1.

The Tornado GR4 is a twin-engine, variable-geometry strike aircraft developed for ground-attack, reconnaissance, and suppression of enemy air defenses.

Three primary variants have been developed: Tornado IDS (Interdiction Strike) carries out air-to-ground attack missions, maritime strike and tactical reconnaissance. This is the core version of the Tornado and was adopted, with some variations in detail, by all the Air Forces of the Partner Nations of the consortium, and the Royal Saudi Air Force.

The Panavia Tornado Air Defence Variant (ADV) is a long-range, twin-engine swing-wing interceptor aircraft developed by the European Panavia Aircraft GmbH consortium. It was a specialised derivative of the multirole Panavia Tornado. Development of the Tornado ADV formally commenced in 1976.

As the Royal Air Force bids farewell to the Panavia Tornado GR4, Combat Aircraft wraps up coverage from one of the final retirement events for the type.

The GR1 Mid-Life Update (MLU) is intended to enhance the capabilities of many of the GR1 fleet, allowing a wider range of missions in all weathers and permitting the use of the advanced, so-called ‘smart’ munitions now available. The new version will be known as the Tornado GR4.
