By Gareth Jennings
18 November 2009
A Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) Panavia Tornado IDS strike aircraft crashed on 15 November, according to local media reports.
The reports stated that the two-seat aircraft came down during a training mission in the desert along the Riyadh-Dammam Expressway in the country's eastern province. The crew is said to have ejected safely.
The cause of the crash is not yet known but early indications are that it was caused by a mechanical malfunction. The RSAF is investigating.
