The story of the SEPECAT Jaguar, a remarkable Anglo-French strike aircraft that left an enduring legacy on the battlefield. From its inception during the Cold War to its pivotal role in conflicts like the Gulf War, the Jaguar's adaptability, firepower, and sheer tenacity earned it a reputation as a formidable force to be reckoned with.
A Transatlantic Collaboration:
Born out of a joint venture between the British Aircraft Corporation and the French company Breguet, the Jaguar embodied the spirit of international cooperation in the realm of military aviation.
Its development in the 1960s aimed to fulfill the need for a versatile aircraft capable of both close air support and tactical strike missions.
Unleashing the Beast:
Witness the Jaguar's impressive performance and firepower as it takes to the skies. Its twin Rolls-Royce Adour afterburning turbofan engines propelled it to supersonic speeds, while its arsenal of cannons, bombs, and missiles made it a potent threat to ground targets. See how this agile aircraft navigated challenging terrains and delivered devastating strikes with pinpoint accuracy.
From Cold War Deterrence to Combat Proven:
The Jaguar's service spanned decades and continents. During the Cold War, it stood as a formidable deterrent against potential adversaries, ready to respond to any aggression. Later, it proved its mettle in real-world conflicts, notably during the Gulf War, where it played a vital role in Operation Desert Storm, striking key Iraqi military installations and contributing to the liberation of Kuwait.
A Global Legacy:
Beyond its service with the British Royal Air Force and the French Armée de l'Air, the Jaguar found homes in the air forces of Oman, India, and Ecuador, further solidifying its reputation as a reliable and capable aircraft. Discover how this versatile jet adapted to diverse operational environments and continued to serve long after its initial development.
Preserving a Legend:
Today, the SEPECAT Jaguar may have retired from active service, but its legacy lives on. Aviation enthusiasts and historians alike continue to marvel at its design, its capabilities, and the stories of the brave pilots who flew it. Through rare archival footage, expert interviews, and captivating storytelling, this documentary pays tribute to the Jaguar and its indelible mark on aviation history.

A shipmate of mine on the USS Ranger in the early '80s witnessed a Jaguar of the Sultan of Oman's air force fly BELOW the level of the angled flight deck as it passed the carrier. That would have put him approximately 20-25 ft above the sea surface. That requires a very good pilot, and a very stable aircraft.

Greetings Dear One A great look back at one of the RAF most formidable aircraft, never a dull moment weather flying the well know Mach loop or some of the well know bombing areas throughout the British Isles depending on her brief for load outs. seeing a pair of jags pop up over the horizon with wet thrust at well BUCKS HIGHT, does tend to make the ears ring and the jet wash hits like a cyclone! Brings back fond childhood memories of these craft which are a dream to fly a real pilots craft its all pilot skills when in flight, all who flew jags never had a bad word for her performance in theatre. She could put the fear of god into people as she vectors to target chances of you splashing the old girl HA Good luck with that, not even SA2 could lock her up! a much loved and greatly missed marvel of tech and co operation between Britain and France. Blessings Love and Light Namaste

no mention of guided munitions like Paveway IV & JDAM . . . it was the next gen weaponry of the Sepecat Jaguar GR3 all weather strike fighter, 1996 onwards . . . Indian Air Force operates no less than 118 Sepecat Jaguar GR1A all weather strike fighters since 1976 . . . in 1989 the air force started upgrading it's Sepecat Jaguar GR1A all weather strike fighter fleet to GR4/4A standard . . . new electronically scanned array radar, glass cockpit & fly-by-wire flight control . . . thus levelling the airframe's capabilities to GR4/4A standards . . . since 1991 the Sepecat Jaguar GR4 all weather strike fighter can carry out air-to-ground precision strike with guided munitions like Paveway IV & JDAM . . .

Frank Whittle was not the sole inventor of jet engines !! Hans Von Ohain of Germany actually invented the axial flow compressor turbojet and put it through flight test in Heinkel 178 well before 1939. Whittle concentrated on centrifugal compressors rather , thus whittle's invention was the game changer of aviation travel is a total non-sense statement and he was not the father of jet engines. Brits won the war , good , but that does not give them any authority to alter history and disrespect the work made by Mr Ohain.
@Dronescapes
@Dronescapes 22 дня назад
Here are a few facts, and food for thought: The biggest mistake is thinking that Whittle was not fully aware that axial compressors would eventually change aviation forever, but when in 1929, he presented his brilliant project to his sole judge, A.A. Griffith (for the record, he was the author of a fundamental seminal paper on axial compressors as early as 1926 when Von Ohain did not have the slightest clue about turbojets), Whittle opted to ditch an axial solution because he was absolutely brilliant. He realized that his country could have a proper interim turbojet ready in a few years. Griffith dismissed (disgracefully) Whittle, delaying and defunding his project for at least six years, until in mid 1935 a friend helped him find minimal funding to create his engine, and that took him less than two years! In the meantime Whittle could not renew his patent for lack of money in 1934 (£4 that is), and since thanks to Griffith the British government could care less about his brilliant projet, they did not even protect it with secrecy. What happened next is that Germany copied Whittle's publicly available work, and distributed it across German universities, landing on the desk of (you guessed it!) Hans Von Ohain and his assistant. Von Ohain tried to minimize the impact of those documents, but his assistant confirmed the extent of the use and inspiration it gave them in the mid-30s. Turns out that the 1939 flight you are mentioning casually used a mix powered engine, also incorporating Whittle's invention... What a shocker that is, considering that the He 178 was responsible for getting government grants by impressing the Nazi leadership. As rightfully predicted by Whittle, the German turbojet was a complete operational disaster, so much that it took the French government (the only country truly interested in those engines at the end of WW2), 120 Nazi engineers, eight endless years to make it operationally proper, but not before radically modifying it and seeking help from a U.S. company as well. You might not know that Metrovick also had an axial turbojet during WW2, but like the German ones, it was so unreliable that despite being superior in performance, it was not considered for operational purposes when pitted against Whittle's engine (and that would be for another decade as well). Whittle engine kickstarted the turbojet era in the U.S. as well, as it was gifted to G.E. in 1941, becoming the first turbojet engine to power an aircraft on U.S. soil (Bell XP-59 in 1942). It also powered the first operational U.S. jet fighter designed by Kelly Johnson (Skunk Works), the Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star, which was also briefly deployed during WW2 for testing in Italy and made it all the way to the Korean War, where it proved to be inferior to the formidable MiG-15, also powered by Whittle's engine of all things (reverse engineered by the Soviets after the British government stupidly sold them 25 units of the RR Nene/Whittle engine), and forcing the U.S, to deploy their first operational axial turbojet powered jet fighter, the F-86 Sabre, but that engine was not derived from those German flawed ones. What you consider Von Ohain's achievement was more than anything a strategic mistake, which is also why, together with Heinkel, he eventually tried to propose the use of a centrifugal turbojet during WW2, which was (stupidly) rejected. Whittle's project was right on the money, and would have given Britain the perfect engine at the time in the perfect place, and that could have happened easily between 1933 and 1935. Britain would have had a reliable and easy-to-develop turbojet before the beginning of the war and not a disastrous engine at the very end, like Nazi Germany had. Obviously, that would have also accelerated the development of Metrovick/Griffith, etc. axial turbojet, which had been put on the side at times, to concentrate on other priorities, going as far as issuing R&D moratoriums. The original sin is Griffith's, and the German sin is to have believed in an engine that they were not able to develop properly, and despite what is commonly said (materials were th eonly problem) that wight years it took the French to make a proper engine is a testament of how bad it was. I have also to add that there is no comparison between Von Ohain's vision and Whittle's. The British inventor had an understanding of the future of turbojets and aviation that Von Ohain could only dream about. Von Ohain was mostly clueless to the true benefits, whereas Whittle understood them and went beyond even as a student in the mid 20s. All you need to do is read his brilliant thesis as a student, and all you need to do is understand how behind von Ohain was (and that is why he had to tap into Whittle's project). Here are the long-lost interviews with Von Ohain; I urge you to watch them, as they are very rare to come by. I don't think you will be very impressed, or at least not as impressed when comparing him to Whittle. Hans Von Ohain’s exclusive lost interview:
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BTk_8GCwuzk.html Frank Whittle’s series of exclusive lost interviews:
Part 1: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-crRbwtWquvw.html Do not confuse true brilliance (Whittle) with tactical blunders (Nazi Germany); they are not the same thing.

@@Dronescapes my point was one and simple , declaring only Whittle as the brilliance or inventor of jet is not correct , at least some mention of the other inventor is necessary too . Only because of a bad and failed regime , the efforts of a genius can't be underestimated . Thus all these information ( excellent info ) are of no need as no one is questioning the capability of Whittle !!! if using centrifugals are tapping into Whittle's project ! then tapping into Ohains project also happened by the use of axials at similar times .
