Panavia Tornado GR1B
The Panavia Tornado, developed jointly by the UK, West Germany and Italy, was designed for high-speed, low-level attack missions.
The Tornado GR1 and GR1A were both capable of carrying a large number of bombs and missiles. They flew during the Gulf War 1991, attacking Iraqi airfields and using laser-guided bombs against bridges, fuel depots and weapon dumps. This is the GR1B variant developed to carry the Sea Eagle missile while retaining the GR1s avionics and weapons capability.
