the panavia tornado air defence variant (adv) was a long-range, twin-engine interceptor version of the swing-wing panavia tornado. the aircraft's first flight was on 27 october 1979, and it entered service with the royal air force (raf) in 1986. it was also previously operated by the italian air force (ami) and the royal saudi air force (rsaf). the tornado adv was originally designed to intercept soviet bombers as they were traversing across the north sea with the aim of preventing a successful air-launched nuclear attack against the united kingdom. in this capacity, it was equipped with a powerful radar and beyond-visual-range missiles; however, initial aircraft produced to the f2 standard lacked radars due to development issues. the f3 standard was the definitive variant used by the raf, the rsaf and the ami (which leased raf aircraft).
