There are three primary versions of the Tornado; the Tornado IDS (Interdictor/Strike) fighter-bomber, the suppression of enemy air defenses Tornado ECR (Electronic Combat/ Reconnaissance) and the Tornado ADV (Air Defense Variant) interceptor. The strike fighter version developed into a highly-versatile platform with an accurate weapons system, able to carry most all air-launched weapons in the NATO inventory. The Tornado is one of the world's most sophisticated attack aircraft, equipped with terrain following radar which allows for all weather hands off low level flight.
