A Panavia Tornado IDS of the Italian Air Force (AMI), serialled 6-20. As of 1999, it was operated by the 155 Gruppo of 6 Stormo, home-based at Piacenza – San Damiano Air Base. It is shown armed with a targeting pod and a GBU-16 Paveway II laser-guided bomb. Italian Tornado ECR-ITs also took part in the SEAD campaign – for the first time in their operational history – and 155 Grupo operated a mix of this sub-variant, and ‘classic’ IDS fighter-bombers. The Italians would conduct up to four sorties in SEAD groups, and occasionally IDS Tornados were also equipped with HARM missiles. (Artwork by Tom Cooper)
