Background Story

Shown is TORNADO IDS 45+71 of former Naval Wing 2 (Marinefliegergeschwader 2), or MFG 2, in norm 87D camouflage painting. It carries the electronic warfare jammer "Cerberus C-III" on its outside wing station, a 1150 kg fuel tank on the inside wing station, a captive (not flyable) air-to-air missile AIM-9L(i) on its special pylon attached to the inside wing pylon and a captive KORMORAN anti-ship missile.

The KORMORAN is a formerly french project from Aerospatiale which was taken over 1969 by the german MBB company which later became EADS, a multinational company. Basis was the request for a tactical off-distance fire-and-forget weapon against ships. Size, weight and aerodynamic behaviour during launch were completely adapted for the F-104 STARFIGHTER which was able to carry two of them. With introduction of the TORNADO the capacity was increased to 4 missiles.
