The Jaguar IS is an Indian variant of the SEPECAT Jaguar, a supersonic jet attack aircraft that emerged as a joint Anglo-French venture for a supersonic jet trainer with light ground attack capabilities. One of many export variants, this vehicle has seen extensive service in its more than 40 years of continuous service, arming Indian squadrons since 1981.
Introduced during Update "Air Superiority" as a reward for the 2024 Sword of Justice event, the Jaguar IS sports rather modest suspended ordnance, especially when compared to its contemporaries. Nonetheless, it can pack quite a heavy punch, with a bombload of up to 8,000 lbs. The Jaguar IS retains the over-wing air-to-air missile pylons that made the Jaguar GR.1A so unique, meaning that this jet does not compromise on air-to-air capabilities, regardless of the air-to-ground ordnance selected. And these are no ordinary missiles: the pair of Matra R550 Magic 2s are incredibly potent.
