After the Gulf War of 1990, No Fly Zones (NFZ) were established
over northern and southern Iraq and the Tornado GR 1 force stepped
up to operations over the southern NFZ. The Tornado GR 4 took
responsibility for RAF combat air operations in Afghanistan from
the Harrier force in 2009, and in 2011 was involved in missions
against the Gaddafi regime in Libya. The unique multirole
capabilities of the aircraft enabled it to support ground
operations with the Raptor reconnaissance pod, Brimstone missiles
and Paveway IV laser-guided bombs until withdrawal in 2014. The
Tornado GR 4 was also used for operations over Iraq and Syria
against the ISIL terrorist organisation. Intensive air operations
were flown between 2014 and 2019, when the Tornado GR 4 was finally
withdrawn from RAF Service. This volume, written by former RAF
pilot Michael Napier, provides detailed first-hand accounts of the
missions undertaken by the Tornado crews during the most recent
conflicts over the Middle East and the Balkans.
