Airbus and Dassault cooperate for Tornado/Mirage replacement

Why do people make nukes to be the scary boogyman that it is?
Smart weapons & modern day optics such as thermal are freaking terrifying.
Henry Reyes
When has it ever done that? I'm not even sure it could until the GR4 update.
Except it can't be integrated in one airframe.
Are you ignoring the existence of other swing wings like F-14 and F-111 which blows Turdnado out of the fucking water in every metric?
A manned propeller airplane could have done everything Tornado did in its service life, I brought up drones as an example of a propeller airplane doing modern strike.
Turdnado never bombed the Soviet Union, not was it ever called to. It's mission package was bombing Soviets defensively, if they invaded. Which a prop could do as well…. In reality Turdnado bombed serbs and durkas which a biplane could have done. That's the reality of strike missions, they're pointless.

It was doing that from the beginning of its career. That's what the sophisticated terrain following radar was for.
Both bigger more expensive aircraft and I doubt the Bombcat was equally effective at AtS given it was a multi-role and not a full blown strike aircraft.
Except reach supersonic, even less so at sea level plus it would lose all fuel efficiency at the transonic speeds the Tornado normally operated.
That had managed to shoot down an F-117 and an F/A-18.

Any actual argument?

F-14 that can't drop unguided bombs under 500 kg accurately due to lifting body aerodynamics. When it comes to F-111 it was plane that was replaced with inferior F-15E. It was more expensive and heavier aircraft than Tornado and as bonus F-111 was pretty problematic aircraft for USAF.
No prop aircraft can go supersonic on low level and have any chance of surviving air defenses.
Radar Brits had ballast for a while was air intercept radar for interceptor version.
Nathaniel Russell
Should not that also be the case with F-15E and F-35?

No. F-14 specific problem, quite a lot of unpredictable vortexes around duct between engines. Later multirole variants of F-14 were limited to either heavy bombs or only using precision guided weapons.
