The Tornado can use quite a small MOS anyway with thrust reverse and using AAR (ie. Not getting airborne with full gas and going to the Texaco). 4-5000ft of concrete is quite manageable (with increased risk).
...you forgot GR4 with ASRAAM, a radar and (soon) Link 16. So it can kinda use the ASRAAM BVR.
And there it is, the GR4 can actually do everything. Who needs Typhoon/F18/Rafale. Possibly carrier capable too?
