The Tornado F3 is a two-crew, variable geometry wing
aircraft powered by two RB-199 Mk104 afterburning turbofans, fitted with thrust reversers for STOL (Short Take-off and Landing) operations. The aircraft carries four
AMRAAM* medium range missiles, four ASRAAM** missiles and a 27mm cannon. The advanced AI-24 'Foxhunter' radar gives the aircraft its all-weather, day and night capability and allows enemy aircraft to be engaged beyond visual range.
