Official VFA-146 Blue Diamonds Aggressor Patches — Russian Camo on a Super Hornet
The Blue Diamonds paint their Super Hornets in aggressor schemes because training against the real thing means looking the part.
Strike Fighter Squadron 146 (VFA-146), the Blue Diamonds, operates the F/A-18E Super Hornet from NAS Lemoore, California. This aggressor variant patch represents VFA-146's participation in adversary training exercises where fleet squadrons simulate enemy tactics, techniques, and procedures. The Russian aggressor paint scheme and markings add realism to air combat training, forcing friendly pilots to identify, engage, and defeat threats that look and fight like potential adversaries. VFA-146's history stretches back to the Vietnam War, and the Blue Diamonds continue to be one of the Navy's most experienced and capable strike fighter squadrons.
Perfect For: VFA-146 Blue Diamonds aircrew, Super Hornet aggressor enthusiasts, air combat training professionals, NAS Lemoore aviators, and adversary patch collectors.
