Why restrict a reinforcement to (Tornado)F3's?


I'm not, but without doing the sums I'm guessing they could get there
quickest and there would already be supplies and technicians there to
service them.

I don't know if they have weapons or spares chached for the GR4 or
Jaguar but I'd have thought they'd have based a flight of them there if
there was.


Jaguar is being phased out of service but there is considerable commonality
between Tornado GR4 an F3, I doubt technical problems or spares would
be a problem.
