What I find intersting is that the Tornado Pilot had now way to know
whether or not the IFF systems were working.

The IFF malfunction experienced by the GR.1 (based on what I've seen of the
reports so far) would have had the same tragic results in every U.S. airframe
as well. I really don't feel comfortable treading into the specifics, but
needless to say this could have happened to any aircraft experiencing this same
malfunction.
