Offensive Aircraft

These aircraft enable the RAF to project air power as a deterrent, or in response to aggression, to any part of the world. The ability to operate far from their fixed bases at short notice is testimony to the effectiveness of the modern RAF. The types of Offensive Aircraft the Royal Air Force uses today are:

• Harrier GR7
• Harrier GR9
• Jaguar (no longer in service since May 2007)
• Tornado GR4
