The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) has transformed their oldest fighter squadron, 140 Squadron "Osprey" based at Tengah air base, into a hybrid squadron which both operates F-16C/D Fighting Falcons and the F-15SG Strike Eagles as a dedicated aggressor squadron.

Shoulder patches using the word aggressor and another patch which had a modified shoulder patch for 140sq circulated on social media recently. This had enthusiasts wondering what was happening. These posts were quickly removed thereafter but it was clear the 140sqn patch had an F-15SG added in addition to the traditional F-16 and Hawker Hunter.

Apparently the squadron transitioned into a dual role commencing end August 2020 and will be flying both fighter jet types. The Eagles will remain at Paya Lebar air base and the Vipers will remain status quo at Tengah AB.

As of now it is unknown if any Eagles will change their squadron logos on the tail to 140sq markings, but this is unlikely. It is also not been confirmed if there is a trial period or if this is to remain permanent.
