Eurofighter Tempest IDS
While the EF Tempest is designated as a swing-role fighter, the Tempest F1 basic version is more specifically an air superiority fighter with secondary air-to-ground capabilities. The EF Tempest IDS (interdiction/strike) is the ground attack version. Optimised for low level ground attack and close-support operations, the IDS version sports increased fuel capacity and a more extensive air-to-surface sensor package, including FLIR and a laser designator for independent targeting of laser-guided air-to-surface munitions.
Kudos to Mike Psiaki and his transatmospheric fighter, as well as Ralph Savelsberg's EF Typhoon for a lot of inspiration.
