Revised title: Italian Military OPO 10 TORNADO IDS 1990 1/100 Fighter Aircraft

The Panavia Tornado IDS (Interdictor/Strike), operated by 36 Squadron, 156 Group "Le Linci" of the Aeronautica Militare Italiana, played a crucial role in the nation's defence during the 1990s. In 1990, she was part of Operation Locusta, the first operational combat mission use for the Aeronautica Militare since World War II. During Operation Desert Storm, an IDS Tornado of the Aeronautica Militare Italiana was shot down on 18 January 1991. The aircraft, registered MM7074, was part of the "LEGION 15" group.

The Tornado or "Tornado" is a myth of combat aviation. Reproduced in the squadron of the 156th Flying Group "Le Linci" of the Italian Air Force, it shows all the aggressiveness of the IDS version for ground attack. The COMBAT PLANES COLLECTION, scale 1: 100, by Editions HACHETTE, captures the essence of this formidable fighter aircraft.

The Tornado IDS was a crucial asset in the Italian Air Force's defence strategy during the 1990s. Its participation in Operation Locusta, the first operational combat mission for the Aeronautica Militare since World War II, demonstrated the aircraft's capabilities in a real-world scenario. However, the tragic loss of the MM7074 Tornado during Operation Desert Storm on January 18, 1991, as part of the "LEGION 15" group, served as a poignant reminder of the risks and sacrifices inherent in military operations.

Despite these challenges, the Tornado IDS remained a symbol of the Italian Air Force's air power and technological prowess. Reproduced in the 156th Flying Group "Le Linci" squadron, the aircraft's aggressiveness and capabilities for ground attack were on full display. The COMBAT PLANES COLLECTION, produced by Editions HACHETTE at a scale of 1:100, captures the essence of this iconic fighter plane, allowing enthusiasts to experience the power and might of the Tornado IDS.

The Panavia Tornado IDS was a remarkable aircraft that played a pivotal role in the Italian Air Force's defence strategy during the 1990s. From its participation in Operation Locusta to the tragic loss of the MM7074 during Operation Desert Storm, the Tornado IDS embodied the spirit of combat aviation and the unwavering commitment of the Italian Air Force to protect its nation's interests. The COMBAT PLANES COLLECTION, with its 1:100 scale models, provides a tangible representation of this legendary fighter, allowing enthusiasts to appreciate the Tornado IDS's impressive capabilities and the sacrifices made by the pilots who flew it.
