Well, it does the job, but it should be remembered that the original design was for a machine that could do two jobs, namely ground attack and as a fighter. The Jaguar on the other hand was optimised for the single job of ground attack, and generally you find that a specialist tool does its job more effectively than a multi-purpose tool. There is plenty of airframe life remaining on the Jaguar. The decision to retire it is purely a political one.
