A military source told SABA the air defenses system had downed a Britain-made Tornado fighter jet as it was hitting civilian targets in Sa’ada.
It is mainly used as a strike/attack aircraft and was a collaborative project between Germany, Italy and the UK.
The Tornado GR4 is used to attack enemy targets and can be used in a reconnaissance role. The Tornado F3 is the RAF’s primary air defense fighter.
Weapons – including the Storm Shadow cruise missile – and upgrades mean that the Tornado is more versatile and can hit targets from a significant distance.
