==Overview:==
The Tornado was designed as a Fighter-Bomber. Its swift design allows it to
carry a large external bomb or missile load while still maintaining high
thrust. When used in an Air Defense role it carries AAM's as external
ordinance. 

Typical Loadouts

Ground Attack Standoff

External Stores Load:
   2 Arrow IV Missiles            (10 tons)
   2 LAA missiles                   (2 tons)
   Total Stores Load               12 tons total
   Note: Safe Thrust is reduced from 8 to 5 at max bomb load.
 
Minelaying

  10 Mine-Laying Bombs            (10 tons)
   2 LAAs                           (2 tons)
   Total Stores Load               12 tons total
   Note: Safe Thrust is reduced from 8 to 5 at max bomb load.

Air Defense
External Stores Load:
   2 AAAMissiles            (10 tons)
   2 LAA missiles                   (2 tons)
   Total Stores Load               12 tons total
   Note: Safe Thrust is reduced from 8 to 5 at max bomb load

Anti-Shipping
External Stores Load:
   2 AS                   (12 tons)
   Total Stores Load               12 tons total
   Note: Safe Thrust is reduced from 8 to 5 at max bomb load.


==Deployment==
The Royal Aerospace Force uses the Tornado in the ground attack and  Recon
role as the Typhoon has replaced in the Interceptor and Anti-shipping role.
