This patch recognises XI(F) Squadron’s role in Operation SHADER 2026, bringing together the Typhoon FGR4 with the Squadron’s distinctive colours.

The design combines elements of XI(F) Squadron’s heraldry: the mighty Typhoon over its recognisable yellow and black colour scheme with its distinctive eagle emblem emblazoned behind.

The design reflects the combat role of the Typhoon, which has been a key player in Operation SHADER for many years - providing a large part of the UK’s contribution to the international coalition which is combating Daesh in Iraq and eastern Syria.

The Typhoon is shown alongside a Shahed-136 once again - this time fixed in the crosshairs. The patch reflects the aircraft’s modern combat capabilities and the Squadron’s defensive work against this indiscriminate threat. The eagles provide a direct link to the identity and heritage of XI(F) Squadron.
