Historical Description of the Tornado IDS Aircraft

The Panavia Tornado IDS (Interdictor/Strike) is a multinational combat aircraft project, jointly developed by the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy during the Cold War. The aircraft entered service in the 1970s and saw its combat debut in conflicts such as Operation Desert Storm in 1991. The Tornado IDS was intensively used by the air forces of these three countries up to modern times, proving itself exceptionally well as a bomber and reconnaissance aircraft.
