The SEPECAT Jaguar was the result of a joint Anglo-French development project to design a new supersonic attack aircraft during the 1960’s. Coming in hot with the War Thunder: Raining Fire update, the highly anticipated Jaguar will soon be joining the top ranks of the British and French aviation trees!
Briefly: A highly capable Anglo-French supersonic strike aircraft, jointly developed by Breguet and BAC in the late 1960’s.
SEPECAT Jaguar, jet attacker, France & Great Britain, VI rank.
Pros
- High versatility
- Air-to-air missiles
- Vast ordnance options
Cons
- Modest top speed at ground level
In the early 1960’s, both Great Britain and France were looking into procuring a new jet trainer for their respective air forces. Despite differences in specifications and requirements, the two nations were united in their pursuit for such a new aircraft, thus leading to an agreement being signed in 1965 which would kick off development of what would eventually become the Jaguar.
The Jaguar was being developed under a specially formed consortium of British and French aviation companies, namely Breguet and BAC, called SEPECAT (you can look up what the acronym stands for on your own - we promise you won’t be disappointed though). Continuing with the theme of joint projects, Rolls-Royce and Turbomeca also joined forces to develop a new turbofan engine - the Adour - for the new aircraft.
The first of eight prototypes of the Jaguar successfully conducted its maiden flight in September of 1968. Following the conclusion of further testing, the Jaguar went into production in two major variants - the Jaguar A being the modification used by the French Air Force and the Jaguar S (Jaguar GR.1) being the variant employed by the RAF. Both variants of the machine entered production in the early 1970’s, with the first production models being delivered in 1973/’74.
The Jaguar primarily served with France and Great Britain, most notably distinguishing itself in action during the Gulf War of the 1990’s. However, Ecuador, Nigeria and Oman also operated modifications of the Jaguar, while India still operates the Jaguar to this day. In total over 540 SEPECAT Jaguars were built.
In War Thunder, the highly anticipated SEPECAT Jaguar is finally arriving to the top ranks of the French and British aviation trees with the release of the upcoming update Raining Fire. Thanks to its good handling characteristics, adequate speed and vast array of secondary weapons options, the Jaguar is set to become the crowning jewel of the French and British attacker family of aircraft upon its arrival to the game as part of the next War Thunder major update!
The Jaguar is powered by a pair of Rolls-Royce Turbomeca Adour turbofan engines, generating up to 3,348 kgf of force with the afterburners engaged. As a result, the aircraft can reach a top speed of up to Mach 1.4 (1,670 km/h). Although not exactly matching the flight performance of some other machines found at the top rank, it’s worth noting that the Jaguar is an attacker first and foremost with the ability to hold its own in a dogfight if necessary.
Having briefly touched on the Jaguar’s combat capabilities, it seems appropriate to highlight the aircraft’s most prominent, and for strike aircraft, most important aspect - namely firepower. Upon obtaining the Jaguar, the machine comes outfitted with a pair of 30mm DEFA (or ADEN) cannons with 150 rounds of ammunition per barrel as standard. Being familiar to most pilots accustomed to high tier tech, these cannons pack a severe punch against other aircraft and can even deal damage to armored targets on the ground, provided the correct ammunition is being used.
However, while the 30mm cannons are undoubtedly a useful tool to have at your disposal, it’s the Jaguar’s mounted weapons arsenal that will be responsible for dishing out the lion’s share of damage to the enemy. Being able to be outfitted with a wide assortment of ordnance, ranging from guided air-to-air and unguided air-to-ground missiles over bombs to rockets, the Jaguar is sure to offer its pilots always the right set of tools to tackle virtually any mission with success.
The SEPECAT Jaguar is coming in hot with the release of the War Thunder: Raining Fire update and will soon reinforce the top ranks of the British and French aviation trees with an excellent jet attacker that is sure to find many fans among War Thunder pilots! In the meantime, be sure to stay tuned to the news to be kept up to date with all the latest information surrounding the next major update coming to the game. Until then, clear skies pilots!

Any idea if they get ballistic computer? What kind of loadouts can both variants have? Normally they both should have a ballistic computer.
they have CCIP and probably CCRP, they also have a HUD that may mean that they get radar lead . The loadout is overall better on the french variant because of the special purpose bombs and rockets aswell as missiles such as the AS-30L that both could get
I would really appreciate it if the german tech tree will get the phantom in the future, cause they had it in service and it wouldnt influence the balance of the game
bUt WuT aBoUt t-90??
One step closer to having a T-2, Jaguar, Freedom Fighter face off.
Maybe the Japs can now get the F-1!
Hey Smin, hope you're good, i wanted to ask, if you guys will be adding anything related to India? Maybe a vehicle that India used that could be placed in the USSR tree or GBR tree? Literally anything, we have quite a few Indian War Thunder players and we'll all be very happy to see something with an Indian tag/flag on it you know :), anyways, pls do let us know? We'll be grateful, ty and have a nice day!
There is technically one Indian tank in the game already. The Vickers MBT was manufactured and used by India under the name Vijayanta. India used a fair amount of other vehicles that are in the game as well. I don't know how many unique Indian designs exist that could be added to the game, but Indian camouflages for more vehicles at the least would be nice.
"the Jaguar is set to become the crowning jewel of the French and British attacker family of aircraft " Will it actually be categorised as an Attacker in WT? Britain currently lacks any aircraft suitable for the Daily Tasks that require an Attacker, simply due to the way the UK armed forces categorised their aircraft.
I’m still waiting patiently for the Wyvern and Firebrand to be recategorised as attackers. I live in hope
Very cool! I play neither French or British but i will definitely consider playing them more when this plane comes out.
Yes finally more repair costs!
All jets in the new patch are better than the Su7BKL no missiles garbage
does the french jaguar get a ballistic computer? I think the british one should but not sure on the french one
