One thought on “Entire RAF Tornado fleet could face early retirement”

  1. jesus. 120 fast jets being scrapped from our already tiny fleet of fighters. Tornado GR4’s are the backbone of our defence, along with the harrier, typhoon and the helicopter and refueling force. The reason we are in need of cuts is because the government purchased the typhoon, very fantastic investment, then instantly bought the F-35 and the 2 aircraft carriers. The government is to blame so cuts should be a little closer to them than the armed forces.
