at Muharraq in Bahrain and Tabuk and Dhahran in Saudi Arabia.
Several Tornado ADVs were deployed to provide air cover,
the threat of their long range missiles being a significant deterrent to Iraqi pilots,
who would deliberately avoid combat when approached.
Early on in the conflict, the GR1s targeted military airfields across Iraq,
deploying a mixture of 450 kg (1,000 lb) unguided bombs in loft-bombing attacks
and specialised JP233 runway denial weapons. Six RAF Tornados were lost in the conflict,
four were lost while delivering unguided bombs,
