The SEPECAT Jaguar GR.3 was a ground-attack and reconnaissance aircraft developed by a joint venture between France and the United Kingdom in the 1960s. It was designed to operate from short and rough airstrips, and to carry a variety of weapons, including bombs, rockets, missiles and cannons. The Jaguar GR.3 was an upgraded version of the Jaguar GR.1, which entered service with the Royal Air Force in 1974.
The GR.3 had improved avionics, navigation and weapon systems, as well as a more powerful engine and a laser rangefinder. The Jaguar GR.3 saw combat in several conflicts, such as the Gulf War, the Kosovo War and the Iraq War, where it performed close air support and reconnaissance missions. The Jaguar GR.3 was retired from the RAF in 2007, after being replaced by the Eurofighter Typhoon and the Panavia Tornado.
