General information
The Panavia Tornado is a two-seat, twin-engine, swing-wing, multi-role combat aircraft built jointly by Germany, the United Kingdom, and Italy. This version is the Tornado Interdiction/Strike or IDS, and was intended as a low-flying fighter bomber armed with precision weapons.
Introduced in Update "Apex Predators" this Italian Tornado is similar to other Tornados in other nations, only really differing in the skin, markings and targeting pod. The Tornado can be an effective air support provider, mainly thanks to having access to a wide array of armaments which include guided and unguided bombs. However, it does lack somewhat in the air-to-air department.
