The Original – History and Use of the Sepecat JAGUAR GR.1A

The SEPECAT Jaguar GR.1A aircraft was the result of British-French cooperation during the Cold War. Designed mainly as a lightweight ground attack aircraft and interceptor fighter, the Jaguar served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) and several other nations' militaries, such as France and India. These aircraft were in use from the early 1970s until the early 21st century. The first examples entered service in 1973. The GR.1A family played an essential role in conflicts such as the Gulf War in 1991, where they were responsible for precision ground attacks and providing close air support for ground troops.
