About the Tornado F3 RAF

The Tornado F3 was selected for development from the original Tornado GR1 attack aircraft in the late 1970s as the Royal Air Force's dedicated fighter following a MoD review of other NATO candidate aircraft. The main visible difference of the F3 from the GR1 is the longer fuselage, which allows greater internal fuel stowage.

The Tornado entered service at an interim F2 standard with the RAF in 1985. One year later, initial deliveries of the definitive F3 were made. Fitted with the long range Foxhunter radar and more powerful engines, the aircraft successively replaced Lightning and Phantom fighter squadrons in the air defense role.

An important feature of the Tornado F3 is its ability to patrol at long distance from its base, supported by air-to-air refueling. It is capable of operation in all weathers and at night, using night-vision goggles. In its usual air defense role, the F3 can receive real-time information on approaching targets through a data link from patrolling Airborne Early Warning Sentry aircraft and attack using AMRAAM missiles.
