The Tornado Gr.4 is the result of a joint project between Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom to develop a powerful multi-role combat aircraft.
However, the main requirement was to develop a modern, state-of-the-art aircraft capable of conducting low-altitude attack missions.
This requirement was met by the development of a twin-engine fighter aircraft with a variable camber wing. The Tornado IDS (Interdictor/Strike) was the first version to enter service with the British Royal Air Force, designated GR.1.
In 1996, the Tornado was upgraded to the Gr.4 standard, which featured improved operational capabilities, new avionics systems for navigation and the introduction of new "on-board" technologies.
These systems enabled effective target identification and tracking and weapons management of newer generation weapons such as GBU-12 Paveway IV bombs.
