Rosseu, NO (direct enough for you?)

More helpfully tho, the Tornado can carry 4 fuel tanks in Heavy Ferry fit. These are the 1500l class tanks (Smaller) one on each inboard wing station, and 2 on the under fusilage. Realistically tho, this is very rare, because you lose most of the weapons capability and the a/c is aproaching it's max AUW. The GR Tornados used to fly a '3 Bag fit', with plenty of fuel, but also able to carry some 'popping stuff'. F3s don't, as you cannot also carry AMRAAMs, hence 'Ferry Fit'.

Hope this has helped, Oh, and it's all open source.
