The Tornado GR 4 took responsibility for RAF combat air operations in Afghanistan from the Harrier force in 2009, and in 2011 was involved in missions against the Gaddafi regime in Libya. The unique multirole capabilities of the aircraft enabled it to support ground operations with the Raptor reconnaissance pod, Brimstone missiles and Paveway IV laser-guided bombs until withdrawal in 2014. The Tornado GR 4 was also used for operations over Iraq and Syria against the ISIL terrorist organisation. Intensive air operations were flown between 2014 and 2019, when the Tornado GR 4 was finally withdrawn from RAF Service.This volume, written by former RAF pilot Michael Napier, provides detailed first-hand accounts of the missions undertaken by the Tornado crews during the most recent conflicts over the Middle East and the Balkans.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 248mmItem Length: 184mmItem Weight: 312gAuthor: Michael NapierIllustrator: Gareth Hector, Janusz SwiatlonContributor: Gareth Hector (Illustrated by), Janusz Swiatlon (Illustrated by)Genre: Law & PoliticsBook Series: Combat AircraftTopic: History, Military HistoryRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
