What is the most capable fixed wing A/C out in Afghanistan? Tornado or Harrier, the Harrier provides CAS and a llw level show of force, the Tornado ??
Tornado provides CAS and a low level show of force (in weather that would stop a GR9 doing so, thanks to the terrain following radar). Obviously the message that Tornado does CAS is
still not getting through (although newspaper articles attributing DMS Brimstone firings to Harriers don't really help....)
Also, what Wrathmonk said.
