GULF WAR
Following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, on 9 August 1990 the British government assigned 12 Jaguar GR.1A aircraft to Operation Granby. Jaguars carried several new weapons during the Persian Gulf War, including CRV7 high-velocity rockets and American CBU-87 cluster bombs which were used because the RAF's existing BL755 bombs were designed for low-level release, and therefore unsuitable for higher-altitude operations common over the Persian Gulf. RAF Jaguars flew 612 combat sorties, with no aircraft being lost.
