About The Tornado GR.4
The Tornado GR.4 evolved from a tri-national programme between Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom to create a high-performance multi-role combat aircraft capable of low-altitude penetration. The initial RAF variant, the IDS-based GR.1, was upgraded in 1996 to the GR.4 standard, gaining enhanced operational capability through modernised avionics, improved navigation systems and new on-board technologies. These upgrades enabled more effective target identification, tracking and weapons management, including employment of newer munitions such as GBU-12 Paveway IV bombs.

FIGURES NOT INCLUDED
The Tornado Gr.4 arose from a collaborative project between Italy, Germany, and the United Kingdom to produce a multi-role high-performance combat aircraft. The primary requirement however was to develop a ‘state of the art’ modern aircraft able to perform low-altitude penetrating strike missions. This need was met by the development of a twin-engine combat aircraft with a variable-sweep wing. The Tornado IDS (Interdictor / strike) was the first version to be released by the British Royal Air Force and designated GR.1. In 1996 the Tornado was upgraded to the Gr.4 standard which was characterized by improved operational capabilities, new avionics systems for navigation and the adoption of new ‘on-board’ technologies. These systems enabled the effective identification and tracking of targets and the weapons management of the newer generation of weapons such as GBU-12 Paveway IV bombs.
