The RAF Tornado F3 is a 2 crew, variable geometry wing aircraft and is powered by 2 RB 1999 Mk 104 afterburning turbofans, fitted with thrust-reversers for STOL (short take-off and landing) operations. The aircraft carries 4 Sky Flash (heard the name before) radar guided medium range missiles, 4 sidewinders heat-seeking missiles and is fitted with a 27mm cannon. An upgrade has been announced which will allow the Tornado F3 to carry 4 AIM-120 AMRAAM active radar missiles and 4 ASRAAM heat-seeking missiles. The advanced AI-24 (Foxhunter) radar gives the aircraft an all weather, day and night capability and allows enemy aircraft to be engaged beyond visual range.
