Modelkeenfan Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Hi all Can anyone tell me with certainty if the Italian Tornado IDS aircraft carried mk 20 rockeyes in the first gulf war in 1991. I've seen a website listing loadouts and it says they did, but I can't find any pics showing them carrying Mk 20s. Anyone throw some light on it?

ChernayaAkula Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Didn't we have this topic a couple of weeks or months ago? I'm sure I've read something in that regard. Maybe have a look through the "Jet Modelling" subforum. EDIT: Found it! LINK! Edited December 13, 2020 by ChernayaAkula Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Modelkeenfan Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 Thanks for that. Looks like it's one of those topics that keeps popping up its head!!!! Well the Italian tornados were cleared to carry. Mk 20s so I don't see why they couldn't have. It would make sense if they used them towards the end of war against armour when the ground war kicked off in a CAS role and got the rockeyes from the US. Doesn't seem to be any evidence that disproves this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
