The Tornado project was born from the collaboration between Italy, Germany, and the United Kingdom to develop a high-performance multirole combat aircraft. The result was a twin-engine, two-seat aircraft with variable-geometry wings, specifically designed to fulfill its primary role: a low-altitude supersonic strike fighter capable of “following” the terrain profile. The Tornado IDS (Interdictor/Strike), optimized for attack missions, was the first variant to enter service with the operational flying units of the three countries involved in the project. Specifically, the aircraft delivered to the British Royal Air Force were designated as the GR.1 and were actively employed—carrying out a high number of missions—during the 1991 Gulf War.
