Italy Completes AARGM Operational Tests
Italy's Tornado ECR defense suppression aircraft become the fourth type—and the first non-U.S. aircraft—to be cleared to fire the AARGM missile.
Italy's specialist defense suppression squadron is the 155° Gruppo based at Ghedi, which flies the Tornado IT-ECR version. The unit is to receive AARGM missiles shortly to augment the existing HARM weapons. (photo: Aeronautica Militare Italiana via NG)
