This kind of aircraft is the result of a joint development project carried out by British German and... moreItalian companies.

The Tornado baptism of fire took place in 1991 during the Gulf War. More in detail the air campaign of the Gulf War in which the Italian Tornados IDS took part began on 17th January.
