The first Jaguars were delivered to the RAF in 1973 and equipped eight front-line squadrons in the U.K. and Germany. Its capabilities were first tested in the 1991 Gulf War and subsequent operations over Iraq, as well as in the Balkans. Updated to maintain combat effectiveness, the GR.3A upgrade included GPS, helmet-mounted sight and new engines for increased economy and performance. 16(R) and 54 Squadrons disbanded in 2005, followed by 41(F) Squadron in 2006. The Jaguars retirement was on April 25, 2007, with the last Squadron, No. 6, disbanding on May 31, 2007.

The SEPECAT Jaguar is an Anglo-French supersonic multi-role combat aircraft originally used by the British Royal Air Force and the French Armée de l'Air and is still in service with several other countries. Conceived in the 1960s as jet trainer with a light ground attack capability, the requirement for the aircraft soon changed to include reconnaissance and tactical nuclear strike roles. First flown on September 8, 1968, the Jaguar served with the Armée de l'Air as the main strike and attack aircraft until July 1, 2005 and with the Royal Air Force until April 2007. It was replaced with the Panavia Tornado and Eurofighter Typhoon in the RAF, and with the Dassault Rafale in the Armée de l'Air. The Jaguar was exported to India, Oman, Ecuador and Nigeria.
