Panavia Tornado (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

Theyd never do something nice for britain. Oh well, i gave up with thr F3. Lofting helped, but you still cant go toe to toe with an F-16 or Mig29 and thats all you face. Time to wait for AMRAAM

there is a possibility to come the aim-7P block I? To the f-14B or may in the future an f-14D?, because we are closer to the flanker stuff that has 10 r-27er with ins+dl+sarh stuff, the aim-7P has a similar capacity, but the f-14b could use 6 aim-7p

Flanker can carry only 6 er

Where does 10 come from?

Hawks and maybe a few commonwealth vehicles such as the atlas cheetah or some f16’s or f18’s?

or hell maybe even the gnats or jet provost for some older jets at like 8.3-9.0

Someone here posted Active Skyflash pictures on a Hawk earlier. Seems like Tornado F3 could get Active Skyflash? It also hints to me that it used a MICA EM seeker, with how the seeker has the same gimbal limits and made by the same manufacturer.

Just easier to give AMRAAM

Or Micas themselves

Active Skyflash is a medium range all-aspect active radar air to air missile which has been designed to meet the bomber, fighter, and cruise missile threat predicted in the 1990s.

Volume 2 of that document would likely contain much more interesting information. Unfortunately that was not in the folder at the National Archives.

Indeed but good luck finding the document with only “volume 2: the technical volume” as the only guide haha.
