The first Jaguar was delivered to the RAF in 1973 and equipped eight front-line squadrons in the UK and Germany. Its capabilities were first tested in the 1991 Gulf War and subsequent operations over Iraq, as well as the Balkans. Updated to maintain combat effectiveness, the GR.3A upgrade included GPS, helmet-mounted sight and new engines for increased economy and performance. 16(R) and 54 Squadrons disbanded in 2005, followed by 41(F) Squadron in 2006. The type's official retirement was on April 25, 2007, with the last Squadron, No.6, disbanding on May 31, 2007. Designed to meet a British requirement for an advanced supersonic jet trainer and a French requirement for an inexpensive trainer and light attack aircraft, the SEPECAT Jaguar first flew on September 8, 1968. Early in its development the trainer requirement was dropped and the Jaguar went on to become a capable close air support, tactical reconnaissance and strike aircraft. This swept-wing aircraft was one of the first Anglo-French military aircraft projects and was used heavily by the French Air Force, which didn't officially replace it as its main strike/attack aircraft until 2005. It also served the RAF until 2007. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
