Hypothetical question - What do you make of the Tornadoes?

View attachment 10055
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).

salam sir , hope you are fine. sir werent you saying that tornadoes are maintenance prone
Like all European products they are maintenance intensive. On the +ve side, they bring twin engine capability, heavier payload, range, and a lot more

Why is the UK still so reliant on the Tornado?

more over it can fulfill the role which sir mastan khan wants to see in PAF
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.
