It's no wonder this is a short range aircraft. What a dirty configuration. Guess the Brits didn't design for "conformal". Makes a Warthog look sleek!
Nice pic though, and I wouldn't want this thing pointed AT me. ;-)

Take another look at the Tornado. It is a sleek swing-wing bomber. It is the long-range interdiction bomber for England, Italy, adn Germany.
The UK also has the F3,a fighter version.
These jets have ranges of 2000 miles and compare well with the F-111 of F-15E.
