The Tornado 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 Tornado IDS (Interdictor/Strike), an aircraft ideally suited to attack roles. It was the initial version used by the Flight Squadrons of the three countries that developed the plane: the Italian Aeronautica Militare, the German Luftwaffe, and the UK RAF. The Tornado IDS was used in different scenarios where it was able to demonstrate its operational efficiency.
