YL14 SDB

4 of these can be easily carried instead of 500 kg bomb on a single station point using multiple ejection rack

 

[Dazzler]

Downed is the wrong use here, more like destroyed on the tarmac.

True, and some were totaled sitting in hangars..

After searching a-lot over the internet and in many magazines and books, I have not found the names of No. 4, 10, 21, 41, 83, 85 and 87 Squadrons.

By looking at their respective patches, I can assume the some of the names for them as

87 Squadron - Dragon Flies (The fly in the center resembles to that specie)

83 Squadron - Kites (The bird in the center resembles to the Kites)

10 Squadron - Buffaloes (The map behind the Buffalo depicts The Africa, Middle East including Turkey, South Asia, China from East Asia and Southeast Asia upto Vietnam - depicting the range for IL-78 IMO)

4 Squadron - Eagle Eyes (Considering how the eagle is looking at the target)

I am unable to name following two because

21 Squadron - found two different patches, don't know which one is true. 2nd seems relevant to C-130, but seen 1st one painted on a C-130

AND

41 Squadron - could not found the exact specie of the bird, too many look alikes

85 Squadron - could not identify what is exactly painted in middle

Sir @fatman17 , @Oscar , @Windjammer , @Horus , @TaimiKhan , @The Eagle , @Bilal Khan (Quwa) , @Bilal Khan 777 , @DESERT FIGHTER , @Imran Khan , @Dazzler ,
@Sulman Badshah , @Arsalan , please can you help me out. Am I right? Can anyone name them all.
