The Tornado IDS (Interdictor/Strike) aircraft was developed in the late 1970s by a consortium of three European countries: the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy. The IDS variant was specifically adapted for ground attack missions, interdiction, and reconnaissance tasks. Most intensively used during the Cold War as well as in the Gulf and Balkan conflicts, the Tornado is considered a symbol of modern NATO air forces at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century. The "Black Panthers" livery features unique, decorative graphics used by the German Air Force during airshows.
