actually quite a few have fallen out the skies in recent years and our Tornados have done a lot more flying hours than the Russian SU-24s and the last Tornado built was 1998 the bulk of the RAF's fleet was built in the 1980s
but to be fair all of RAF's Tornado fleet got mid life upgrade in 1993 to GR4/GR4A standard snd is now in the moment 59 Tornados are going trough another upgrade mostly in avionics

while as i understand till now no Su-24 in syria operated by VVS is a M2 upgrade of 2000 but a M upgrade of 1979...
