I don't theink the Tornado *can* carry the Durandal... however, it has a total of 32 weapons stores options, so I could be
wrong...

I've been told the F-16 can carry it, but they're only being used in an escort role at present... all this is second hand, I'm
quite prepared to be corrected if wrong.


Did you know the Tornado is the first aircraft ever to have its cannon deisgned specially for it??? All others adapted existing
weapons....
