I agree - definitely not Tornadoes, and not a regular Mirage (which are indeed all delta-wings), either.
What you want in a high-speed, low-level ground attack airplane are smallish wings with high wing loading. That means that each square foot of wing has to support more weight. The higher the wing loading, the smoother the ride and steadier the aim when in turbulence on the deck. Examples of great airplanes in that role are the Jaguar and the Harrier - both with small wings compared to their load capacity.
