In 1996, the German Navy's Marinefliegergeschwader 2 (MFG 2) operated the Panavia Tornado IDS from their base at Eggebek, Germany. These aircraft were primarily tasked with maritime strike missions, utilizing the AS.34 Kormoran anti-ship missile. The AS.34 Kormoran is a German air-launched anti-ship missile developed for Tornado IDS and F-4 aircraft. It features inertial guidance with terminal active radar homing, a 360-480lb semi-armor-piercing warhead, and sea-skimming flight. Later Kormoran 2 variants extended range and electronics, making it a reliable NATO anti-ship weapon. Designed in collaboration with Britain, West Germany and Italy, the Tornado was first flown on August 14th, 1974 and is thought by many to be the most important military aircraft in Western European history. Nicknamed "The Flying Fin" because of its large tail fin, the Tornado has a variable wing sweep design and is capable of taking off and landing on short airstrips. It is equipped with terrain-following radar, which allows for hands-off, low-level flight in any weather. There are three primary versions: an electronic combat/reconnaissance version, an interceptor and a highly versatile strike fighter-bomber capable of carrying almost all of NATO's air-launched weapons. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
