Redddevil911 0 Posted April 25, 2007 Is the Tornado going to fill the gap till the RAF gets the JSF? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BUFF 8 Posted April 26, 2007 a combination of things (Tornados, Harriers, Predator) really cover the CAS & reconnaisance role but there were already just a handful of Jaguars still in service being operated by 6 Squadron. 6 squadron will reform with Typhoons at my local base, RAF Leuchars, ~ the end of the year supposedly.

JediMaster 451 Posted May 25, 2007 My guess is they won't be going out soon there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ghostrider883 526 Posted May 26, 2007 Nope. Jaguars along with MiG-27s form the backbone of IAF's offensive strike fleet. These upgraded Jags can be considered as the ultimate version of the Jaguar family. Note presence of ESM bumps on the nose, deletion of starboard cannon, new LRMTS window.
