The Royal Saudi Air Force was one of the foreign participants in the Cobra Warrior exercise. The Saudi Arabian Air Force participated with a total of six EF2000 Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft. The aircraft all came from Taif/King Fahd Air Base where the aircraft are part of the RSAF 2nd Wing. This unit has three squadrons flying the Typhoon on active duty at this airbase. These squadrons, are; 3 Squadron, 10 Squadron and 80 Squadron. During the Cobra Warrior exercise, all three of these units were present at RAF Coningsby to train with the British. It is quite special to see these aircraft in Western Europe, because these aircraft do not come this way very often. RAF Coningsby is also one of the home fields for the British Typhoon as well.
