MW-1 (or Mehrzweckwaffe 1) munitions dispenser, one of go-to weapons for the German Tornado IDS in the 1980s.

Impressive system!

 

I guess it's only real shortcoming is the need to directly  overfly the target at low altitude, prime bait for ZSU and Tunguska, Tor and Strella... must have been impressive to see with live munitions though!

 

I'm guessing this system will feature in the Tornado under development for DCS ? Is it a GR.1 being made? Or a similar variant like the core IDS, maybe from Italy ?

The MW-1 store will be included, the GR.1 is basically an IDS with an extra internal fuel tank (in the fin). So other than internal fuel, they are in essence identical.

I had to look up what the DCS Tornado project was going to represent... now I'm not sure if this is still current, but from 2022:

AviaStorm's goal is to develop the best simulation of a 1989 German IDS Tornado for DCS.
