EUROFIGHTER TYPHOON - OPERATION SHADER - The First Strike

Michael Rondot's OPERATION SHADER painting depicts a pair of Eurofighter Typhoons armed with Paveway IV 500lb precision-guided bombs, Litening III laser targeting and reconnaissance pods, and AIM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-132 ASRAAM air-to-air missiles. In the background, smoke drifts away from a strike on a target within the Omar oilfields complex. The painting represents all Typhoon units involved in Opertion Shader.  

The first operational missions flown by Royal Air Force Typhoon Tranche 2 aircraft were in support of Operation SHADER, the UK’s military contribution to the fight against Daesh in Iraq and Syria. In December 2015 Typhoon aircraft, with engineering and ground support, deployed to RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus, and immediately commenced Air Interdiction and Close Air Support missions, striking the Omar Oilfield with Paveway IV weapons on 4 December.  Since that first strike, Royal Air Force Typhoons have been in action on a regular basis, striking targets with precision-guided weapons by day and by night.
