	Aerei Militari - Tornado IDS
		Nella notte tra il 17 ed il 18 gennaio 1991, i Tornado italiani (otto in tutto) furono impiegati in un pacchetto di attacco destinato a colpire un deposito di munizioni irakeno.
		In tempi più recenti, i Tornado europei sono stati impiegati nel corso delle operazioni NATO sulla Bosnia e nelle varie campagne di “polizia aerea” sull'Iraq nonché nelle operazioni conseguenti all'attacco contro il regime dei Talebani in Afghanistan nel 2001 ed all'invasione dell'Iraq nel 2003.
		In Italia, il Tornado continua a costituire la punta di lancia della componente di attacco dell'AMI, ed è in servizio con il 6° Stormo di Ghedi (strike e conversione operativa), il 50° Stormo di Piacenza (ricognizione e SEAD) ed il 36° Stormo di Gioia del Colle (strike e attacco antinave).

	Aerei Militari - Tornado ECR
		Sin dall'inizio dello sviluppo dell'aereo da combattimento Tornado, negli anni '70, era previsto che il velivolo fosse in grado di svolgere anche missioni di ricognizione.
		Il Tornado ECR va quindi inquadrato in una categoria più sofisticata, che comprende caratteristiche tipiche sia dei velivoli da ricognizione che da guerra elettronica e SEAD (Soppressione delle Difese Aeree Nemiche).
		Il Tornado ECR è equipaggiato con un ELS, ossia un sistema per l'individuazione, classificazione e localizzazione delle emittenti radar, che copre un settore frontale ampio 180 gradi (contro i 360 gradi del vecchio e ancora rimpianto F-4G Wild Weasel).

	Panavia Tornado IDS
		From conception to operational service took twelve years, but what was remarkable about this was that the Tornado and all its systems were delivered on time and on budget.
		The Tornado superseded the Buccaneer, Jaguar and Vulcan in the bomber and maritime strike roles.
		Tornadoes are currently being converted to GR.4 standard; this will include new equipment such at TIALD, FLIR and a new navigational sub-system.

		The three nations commissioning the Tornado are represented in prime contractor Panavia by their national aircraft industries, currently British Aerospace, DASA (Germany) and Alenia (Italy), which have program shares of 42.5, 42.5 and 15 per cent, respectively.
		Originally to be split between IDS and ADV variants, this order, confirmed in June 1993, will comprise virtually all IDS Tornados, with a small number of reconnaissance-capable examples.
		One AMI and six RAF Tornados were lost in combat, the latter primarily due to AAA when employed on anti-airfield missions.

	A brilliant paper model of the Panavia Tornado with wings that sweep back-maybe
		That they succeeded is amply demonstrated by the result of their collaboration: the Panavia Tornado IDS is certainly the best low-level strike aircraft ever built.
		All its life Tornado has been the butt of critics not only from rivals in France, and especially, the USA, but also in the home media who eagerly sought supposed faults or shortcomings, Critics were at last silenced when two PAF aircraft entered the USAF Giant Voice navigation and bombing contest in 1984.
		Italy's Tornados are also primarily a Starfighter replacement, taking over the air superiority, ground attack and reconnaissance roles previously performed by F and RF versions of the American fighter.

	Aerospaceweb.org \| Aircraft Museum - Tornado IDS
		Though its design is over 30 years old, the Tornado IDS is still quite effective in its multi-role strike mission.
		The Tornado is also noteworthy for having the highest payload weight to empty weight ratio of any combat plane other than the F-16.
		So successful was the Tornado IDS that nearly 1,000 examples were built, including 402 for the UK, 359 for Germany, 99 for Italy, and 96 for Saudi Arabia.

	Panavia Tornado IDS / ECR All-Weather Low Level Strike and Reconnaissance - Military and Civilian Aircraft
		The Tornado is a two-man variable swept-wing fighter/bomber, meaning that the wings can maintain an extended or retracted position depending on the settings controlled by the pilot.
		The IDS and ECR variants are the most closely related though all share an 80% commonality in systems and parts.
		The IDS represents the base interdiction and strike warplane model, capable of achieving high-success in the ground bombing role utilizing a variety of munitions.

	Aerei Militari - Tornado ADV
		Infatti i Tornado ADV rischierati dalla RAF nel corso dell'operazione Desert Storm per la liberazione del Kuwait, nel 1991, non furono mai impiegati in prima linea proprio a causa dell'assenza della capacità NCTR.
		Il Tornado ADV ha conosciuto un solo successo in esportazione: nel 1984 l'Arabia Saudita (che si era vista respingere dagli USA ulteriori ordini per gli F-15 Eagle) ne ordinava 24, assieme a un certo numero di IDS, per equipaggiare un paio di squadron di difesa aerea.
		In conclusione, il Tornado ADV è stata una macchina molto controversa.

		Unlike other flight simulators I have seen, Tornado's cockpit layouts are very accurate compared to photographs of Tornado cockpits, and the handling of the simulated aircraft seems right when payload and other factors are considered.
		Given that the Tornado is a combat aircraft, you may want to know which weapons are available in the sim.
		For the Tornado IDS, you can choose from the following selection of offensive and defensive ordnance, though note that the defensive ordnance is still fairly offensive if you happen to be on the receiving end.

		The Tornado is a sophisticated multi-role aircraft [1] but the German defence minister, Franz Josef Jung, was quick to emphasize that “Reconnaissance isn’t combat”, addressing voiced concerns that German ‘peacekeepers’ were being dragged into war-fighting in Afghanistan.
		The Luftwaffe initially received two variants of the Tornado – the IDS (Interdictor/Strike, an equivalent to an RAF Tornado GR 1) and the ECR (Electronic Combat and Reconnaissance, a type dedicated to Suppression of Enemy Air Defences – better known as ‘Wild Weasels’).
		The Tornado was designed from the out- set as a multi-role combat aircraft with an emphasis on the ground attack role (the Tornado would later be modified to suit the interceptor role but the Luftwaffe does not use the ADV).

	Panavia Tornado
		The first prototype IDS Tornado was flown on 14th August 1974 and the first production deliveries of training aircraft were in 1980.
		The Tornado IDS is remarkably good at the mission it was designed for; low level penetration of hostile airspace.
		However many would argue that the Tornado's ability to go in fast and low would be invaluable in any future conflict where, unlike Iraq in the Gulf war, the enemy retained even partial command of the air with his own fighter force.
