In March 2022, 80th Squadron successfully deployed to RAF Coningsby, UK in support of Exercise COBRA WARRIOR 22-1. Exercise Cobra Warrior is an annual, UK Air Warfare Centre led, Large Flying Exercise in which air forces from around the world combine to plan and execute complex mission sets within extremely realistic, high-end warfighting scenarios. Throughout the exercise up to 80 fast-jets participated daily, testing pilots’ skills and training in large, multi-national missions while simultaneously cementing key, military relations with partner nations. During Exercise COBRA WARRIOR 22-1 80th Squadron Typhoon pilots were afforded the opportunity to operate alongside RAF Typhoon, USAF F-15E/C, USAF and Belgian Air Force F-16, Swedish Air Force SAAB Gripen and Indian Air Force Tejas aircraft deepening their knowledge and understanding of other nation’s capabilities while validating and developing RSAF Tactics, Techniques and Procedures in a realistic, but controlled training environment.
