Here we go! We can finally unveil the brand new, official patch for the RAF’s Exercise Cobra Warrior!

Organised twice a year by 92 Squadron, based at the Air & Space Warfare Centre at RAF Waddington, Cobra Warrior is the RAF’s capstone large-scale flying exercise, where participants employ composite air operations to achieve military objectives in testing and contested threat environments.

Numerous nations attend the exercise during each iteration, learning to operate their different aircraft types together, to achieve the effects required on an enemy force which is well-equipped and capable of inflicting damage in return. Integration of partner nations’ capabilities with those of the UK is a key objective during the exercise and this patch is intended to give each pride in their involvement and also act as a memento when they finally return home.

Exercise Cobra Warrior 23-2 is the second exercise of this nature during 2023 and has brought in a large contingent of US Air Force participants, along with more from Canada and Norway. All will be immersed in challenging planning scenarios where the goal is to achieve specific objectives, in the face of a realistic, aggressive, peer adversary. They will be ably supported by NATO air assets and UK personnel from the RAF Regiment alongside Battlespace Managers and other key ground-based roles.

92 Squadron have commissioned a new official emblem for the exercise, and we are really pleased that they have chosen Dynamic Vectors to do that with them. The patch features 92 Squadron symbology at its core - notably the cobra which alludes to the Squadron’s links to India in the Second World War, and, rather appropriately given 2023’s Canadian involvement, the maple leaves which are linked to its First World War association with that country. Around the perimeter, the Squadron’s yellow and red chequerboard is proudly displayed.

We are grateful to 92 Squadron for bringing this project to us and honoured to be able to form an enduring symbol for this remarkable exercise.
