Brief historical overview:
The SEPECAT Jaguar is a two-seat strike fighter, designed in the 1960s as a result of cooperation between the UK and France at the height of the Cold War. These aircraft entered service in the 1970s, taking part in numerous conflicts – including Operation Desert Storm (1991) and many expeditionary missions by British, French, and Indian forces. Thanks to its versatility, the Jaguar became an icon of tactical aviation well into the 21st century.
