The Tornado F3 is a long-range, twin-engine swing-wing fighter produced by Panavia.
History[]
Tornado F3's were sporadically deployed by the Yuktobanian Air Force during the Circum-Pacific War. Some of which were assigned to patrol around Glubina POW camp and were subsequently shot down by the Wardog Squadron in the ensuing POW rescue operation.[1] During Jilachi Desert Invasion, several Yuktobanian Tornado F3s were sent to intercept an Osean bomber formation approaching their HQ at Jilachi Desert.[2]
The Leasath Air Force was also known to use the aircraft during the Aurelian War, which also included an ace pilot with the callsign Gacrux.[3]
