This type of aircraft is the result of a joint development project between British, German and Italian companies.
Although it was used for various purposes throughout its operational life (ground attack, electronic warfare/reconnaissance, interceptor), its primary mission has always been to conduct low-altitude penetrative attack missions.
The Tornado can load and use a variety of offensive weapons.
Thanks to its two powerful engines, the Tornado can reach a top speed of Mach 2.2.
The Tornado's baptism of fire took place in 1991 during the Gulf War.
More precisely, the air campaign of the Gulf War, in which the Italian Tornados IDS took part, began on January 17.
The aim of the air strikes was to destroy military targets and infrastructure.
