Pros
Great capabilities in stand off tactical strike, combat radius, long endurance BVR CAP, CAS, SEAD/DEAD, decent payload, low level flight performance

Cons
High RCS
Maintenance Issues

I have read that Tornado's serviceability with the RSAF was not too good (but that could be a biased opinion of someone).

Maintenance is the major issue, expensive to keep them flying.

I have never been a proponent of shared assets. PN needs to have its own Strike Aviation Arm. No dependency on PAF. the C&C structure would insure, not just the IN but a lot more is adequately addressed.
