Question Tornado 'Combat' Power Throttle Setting

Hello

For some time I've been wondering about the nature of the Combat setting on the Tornado throttle panel and thought I'd finally ask.

In US aircraft such as the F-15, the throttle has above idle detent points that represent 'Mil' (UK Max Dry Thrust) and 'Max AB' (UK Max Reheat). The big question for me is what the Combat setting provides in the Tornado? Is its function similar to the Vmax switch in PW-220 equipped aircraft?

Thanks
Obi
