Better research is needed. Hard to deny it happening when the Swedish pilots got awarded the US Air Medal for getting the lock on that SR-71. If both Sweden and the US says it happened, it happened.
@@benghazi4216 I thought that was for escorting a SR71 when it’ was in trouble, I don’t think the Medal of Honor is awarded to countries for “getting a Lock” on enemies otherwise they would’ve given one to Russia for shooting down a U2
I was born in Sweden in the early 70´ies, and often saw Viggen and other Swedish jets when I grew up. Later I also saw them practising attack runs (with live ammunition). Viggen is (was) LOUD. It sounded like it tore the sky apart. I´ve heard some loud military jets later in life, but for me, nothing compares to Viggen. When they turned on the afterburner, there was this "splutter". Insane. Even as a kid I felt proud: "Those are OUR guys!"
Cool !!!
Don't forget the JA-37's digital datalink, which was easily the most advanced datalink in the world at the time. It was arguably the most important aspect of the Jaktviggen.
Thanks for remembering the 4 ship data link…. Virtually no one remembers. Also the innovative UHF no-voice arrow indicators to vector the aircraft to intercept.
Cheers from Sweden! I appreciate that you take the time to read out and translate the various abbreviations.
I can't stop watching this video over and over. Viggen is a wonderful machine, much more like a spaceship than an aircraft. Kudos for the excellent work you do.
Great video and the second I watch in this channel. Being Swedish and somewhat of an avgeek with proud memories of this aircraft, I think this video is excellent. Well researched and narrated. Well done!
Side note: I *do* believe that it is confirmed that the Viggen achieved radar lock on (-isch) on the SR-71. While it might be true, we'll def never know if it would have resulted in a hit. The conditions to lock on where quite extreme, assuming the Viggen climbed up and intercepting the SR-71 head to head, pretty much emptying its fuel tanks in the process. Timing was the key to do this since the window of opportunity at the extreme closing in speeds was very short. This assumed that the path of the SR-71 was known in order to execute. I've heard stories about how radar operators in Sweden noticed patterns in the "Baltic express" flights and started to punch some numbers just to toy with the idea. Eventually it was tried out... Then again... I won't claim any of this is true.
Fun fact, speaking of the Viggen and the SR-71: What we do know for a fact though - which is quite interesting - is that the Viggen *saved* (most likely) an SR-71 from uncertain destiny. It suffered engine failure while passing the Baltic sea. Viggens intercepted the stricken SR-71 and escorted it to safety to the borders of a NATO base country. The Soviets had launch interceptors towards the SR-71 and it is thought that they were not going to be friendly if they had reached the aircraft first. The Viggens most likely deterred any engagements.
This act of the Swedish airforce pilots was quite recently not only acknowledged by the US: the Swedish pilots were awarded medals for saving the SR-71 and it's crew in a little ceremony.
Less fun fact, speaking of Viggen not being in combat: Viggens routinely flew intercept missions towards east over neutral waters of the Baltic sea. During the cold war Soviet often tested Swedish response times and efforts but also did sea and air excercises in the Baltics. At one of these excercises Swedish a sole recce Viggen was tasked with gathering intel on the naval vessels participating in the excercise. Of course, it could not do this without being interfered with by Soviet aircrafts protecting the fleet.
The Soviet aircrafts were quite agressive making sure the Viggen pilot were as restricted as possible. Eventually the Swedish pilot had enough of the Soviet aircrafts and decided to try to shake them off. What happened after this I presume could be called a dog fight at low level. One unarmed recce Viggen against two heavily armed Su-15 Flagons. It ended in tragedy unfortainly - the Swedish pilot performed a half roll at low level leveling off at about 100 meters above sea level. To his surprise the Flagons had followed suit in this manouver. One of them had no chance to recover from it and the last thing the Swedish pilot noticed in his mirrors was how the Flagon agressively tried to pull up before hitting the water in a huge splash and explosion. Realizing the gravity of the situation the Swedish pilot slammed the throttle forward aiming for safety back home. The surviving Flagon pursued and actually locked his radar on the Viggen. However, the Flagon aborted the pursuit and return to the accident area. Swedish fighter Viggens scrambled and met up with the recce Viggen escorting him back to the base.
Here's a link to a Swedish article (including photos from the actual flight) describing the incident, as told by the Swedish pilot himself: www.flygtorget.se/illustrationer/fil_20110110093819.pdf
Sorry. Couldn't help myself. Find this quite interesting. My condolences to the friends and families to the pilot that perished in the line of duty. Tensions and stakes were high, even when real combat never occured.
Very welcome information sir. Thanks for sharing.
About lock on the SR-71: In 1990 I did my basic training at F-16 (Uppsala) and an officer told the story to us. We knew that the SR-71 was coming and the Viggen set off at full throttle and "met up" with the incoming SR-71 and was able to lock on the SR-71. That's what he told us anyway.
nice contribution, stay proud
I´m from Austria, we had the Saab Tunnan and later the Draken serving us well for many years.
Later we skipped the Viggen but the Gripen was in consideration before we ultimately choose the Teurofighter (teuer means expensive in german).
Which we will probably replace with the Aermacchi M-346 Master, it´s way cheaper to maintain and operate.
I still think the Gripen would have been the best choice for Austria, but my favorite in the selection was the Rafale, undoubtedly the most beautiful of all candidates.
I am from Sweden and think Gripen is a good fighter but Rafale is my favorite to.
@@hansericsson7058 It´s the looks, the Gripen is great, but Rafale has the beauty no other can compare to.
Also, it´s surprisingly small, i saw a size comparison sheet and that french machine is such a tiny package i couldn´t believe it.
Wait a minute, cheaper than the Gripen? Not based on the performance then, a P 51 Mustang is cheaper too.
@@Doorsofprcptn That´s the reasoning i was told to, i do not know which is actually cheaper, never saw any numbers on that.
I also support choosing a fighter jet based on its design alone. :)
I love the 37, what is there not to like? It has it all looks, innovation, performance and ingenuity. 👍
This is the most accurate video about viggen I have seen. You even get things right like the variant on the screen actually consistantly is the variant that is talked about. Good job!
Agreed! Really really good and well researched. Bonus points for quite good pronunciation of Swedish words and their accurate translations.
Agree.
Work of art👍🏼
At 3:01 the aircraft livery incorporates the Ghost Squadron logo now taken over by Koenigsegg supercars. A beautiful way of preserving a proud tradition.
This is an exceedingly well researched and presented video. Fantastic job, congratulations!
I was very impressed with Viggens snappy maneuverability. It was always so deceptively agile.
You wouldnt happend to be one of the raf pilots who got to fly in the viggen during an exchange between the raf and the Swedish airforce?
The pilot interview I heard said it bled a lot of energy very quickly, which was generally a Bad Thing.
@@thethirdman225 Obviously it does, it's a delta wing. But it isn't necessarily a bad thing depending on what you're up against.
I remember a short film clip shown on Swedish television, in the 70's I think.
It was from an air show and the pilot in a Viggen made a roll at very low altitude.
He came out of the roll with the nose pointing downwards, and without the big canard flaps and the efficient afterburner he would surely have crashed.
@@thetrolle - oh goodness no. I'm not a pilot. I'm just a keen military aviation enthusiast.
Now I am a bit of a Viggen fan, collected allI could find on the plane. Sire, I congratulate to this well researched and presented video! This quality of information is very rare in this genre of videos on RUclips. There's a lot to add about the very analogue and non-sophisticated root of the Viggen design starting with a very basic flying mdoel in an office, its designers basically having thought up the layout by engineer's intuition and deep understanding of aerodynamic forces without the aid of tools like computers and stuff. A wonderful story in its own right! But I guess it would be a bit much to tell in 14 minutes!
very well done ... nice aircraft, a nice tribute and specs analysis of the jet
For your information: Indian prime minister in 1960s wanted to aquire this fighter and we're in advanced talks with Swedish but Americans embargo made India buy Anglo French jaguars later.
Actually, the Blackbird was Intercepted right along Sweden's Coastline, in Sweden's airspace. The USAF tried to NOT overfly Swedish airbases, but, the Viggen used in this interception, was based on a Coastal Highway, and with it's 50K/Ft-per-Min. Climb, was 'alongside' the Blackbird in less than 3 minutes after Roll-Out!
Thanks for re-voicing this video. Good information and footages
Excellent specific channel ( Weapons detective) of enjoying videos sending including this video about Saab 37 Viggen swedish thunderbolt aircrafts which started through talking about history progressing of aviation in Sweden after 2WW after that labelling all powerful & progressing characteristics of this famously name of saab 37 Viggen aircraft thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍g🇸🇪🦅👍👍👍👍
I really like how it's look.. looks very agile, fast puncher & aggressive, especially with green camo 👌
I've heard that we received technical support from the US when we designed the Viggen, we gave them population medical data in return.
Maybe that's why we never exported it.
There is rumored to be a nuclear-strike version too, for our non-existent nukes that we definitely never had.
The late 80s were a stressful time.
When they mentioned that the licensed engine prohibited Viggen from being exported, I suddenly remembered when they later designed Gripen. It was often mentioned that it would be export-able, and I never understood what the deal was. In light of the Viggen situation it all makes perfect sense.
Great video and pronounciation of the classifications.
Small note is for Sk. / Skola pronounciation. Needed a firmer A towards the end. "SkolAh"
The front half reminds me of the F4 Phantom and looks just as menacing. I really admire Swedish aviation since they are only just now joining NATO, yet for decades was able to build up a modern aviation industry while maintaining comparable capabilities and tech to NATO
Great videos! Thanks for taking the time to create and post them.
Great video 💎
Both the Drakken and Viggan are gorgeous planes and I kinda like the other Saab jets as well even the tubby little Tunnan
It pays off in the long run to spend a little extra money on quality and self sufficiency when it comes to the military equipment needed to stay neutral. Admire Sweden very much for this and I wish my country weren't such a joke when it comes to military. We're 4 times bigger and probably richer overall yet we are stupid when it comes to military spending.
Great video!
Viggen looks kind of large when flying right above you just a bit higher than the trees.
Such things could happen in Sweden during early 90s if you had a pilot neighbor who used to be a fighter pilot and still had friends that were :D
Amazing!
Great video
I f****** LOVE Saabs. It was all my dad used to drive when I was a kid.! Too bad they don't make cars anymore but God Damn their aircraft are amazing!
Hopefully, Saab builds marvelously engineered cars again Ace content
Their successor Nevs have been trying for many years with no visible results.
The automobile branch of Saab parted ways with the aeroplane and weapons branch a long, long time before they were shut down.
If Saab Automobile were to be resurrected, they would have no ties left to the weapons manufacturer, especially if they were to be built in China.
I did read that Clint Eastwood was impressed with the Viggen and fascinated with its unique looks, so much so that he wanted to use it to depict the MiG-31 'Firefox' in the movie of the same name. This did not work out, so a model and some ropey early 80s CGI had to suffice.
Imagine ..., an upgrade version of this plane ... cheaper and probably as good as the Gripen ...🤗👌
When the narrator said "tunderbolt" I was all in.
Since there has been alot of new development on melgem class corvette (babur-class and Istanbul class,vls etc) will you revoice and update the melgem class video please
From what I understand. The one main drawback to the Viggen was the compressor problems it suffered from routinely.
Clever Swedes
A rarely talked about point about Viggen is its part in the Swedish L-programme.
Sweden was experimenting with making their own nukes during the early to mid part of the cold war. Thanks to spies both in east and west, ample testing data and schematics were secured, and refinement of weapons grade plutonium was well underway. The issue was a delivery system.
There were ambitions that JA32 lansen should be able to carry nuclear warheads, but it eventually proved impractical. Viggen was built with one of the criteria to be able to carry nukes, but the L programme was scrapped when public opinion shifted in the 70's, and military leaders observed the lack of nuclear use in Korea and Vietnam and deduced... that limited tactical use of nukes probably wasnt possible without strategic retaliation. Then it just became an expensive weapon that couldnt be used.
Please make a video on Makassar class LPD, Kilo Class and Ming Class.
The Draken is my favorite.
You forgot to bring up one of the most important design choices. The reason it was so big and heavy was that it was designed to carry nuclear weapons.
South Africa was also interested.
RUclips algorithm recommendations when Viggen is announced in War Thunder:
the most beautiful fighter jet
Didn't mention the AJS-version....
Ready to use it in War Thunder :3
So many people are going to have it, considering there is going to be a premium J35 and the swedish tech tree is so easy to finish :/
Good thing Finns had the Saab Jas 35 Draken with Sidewinder 9 missiles. :)
Viggen got blocked by usa on the international market. Many countries ws interested in it.
Arguably the most modern/advanced combat aircraft in Europe at the time of introduction, featuring an airborne digital central computer with integrated circuits for its avionics, the world's first of its kind, automating and taking over tasks previously requiring a navigator/copilot, facilitating handling in tactical situations where, among other things, high speeds and short decision times determined whether attacks would be successful or not, a system not surpassed until the introduction of the Panavia Tornado into operational service in 1981
The most beautiful SAAB jet fighter
The name of all the Saabs fighter jets can be translated to:
Tunnan - The Barrel
Lansen - The Lance
Draken - The Dragon
Viggen - The Thunderbolt
Gripen - The Griffin
Viggen - Thunderbolt
@@elfucheros ah yes, my bad.
And now we all know that if you add (en) or (an) to the end of a word it means (The)
@@Kleeper that's right, and (et) for some words
The maximum climb altitude was never mentioned. It would be a formidable weapon platform and a multi-roles aircraft should it be reproduced using current technology including aesa radar, latest engines, air-to-air refuelling and stealth.
40k feet/min if someone didn't know
EDIT: My reading comprehension is so so.. The service ceiling is 59k feet. But you can push it higher, as the pilots many times did.
The datalink was more important than any of those things and the one in the Jaktviggen was the most advanced in the world by some margin. A properly balanced airforce with good ground based sensors and jammers and an agile and well linked strike force can be extremely effective. That's what the Viggen was meant to do. When you have a lot of those factors working together, stealth is not really necessary and not worth the compromise or the vast cost.
The story of the Viggen is in essence the story of the small (but well developed) country defending themselves from the "big bear".
It was always a matter of "you'll lose more than it's worth".
To gain air-superiority over Sweden at the time you had to litterally shoot every plane out of the sky since the Viggen was able to operate from hundreds of road-bases.
Combined with the performance of the Viggen these tactics might be one of the greatest of the cold-war.
Actually the JA-37 is still classified since the JAS-39 Gripen system originates from there
... om a more personal note I remember the 80's/90's were Viggens often practiced dog-fights over our summerhouse.
This was during the years when SAF-Pilots still were ordered to practice in war-style.
For me as a child it meant hiding from the guys restoring the windows cracked by sonic-booms.
For the mecanics it meant cleaning the wings from tree-tops...(true story)
Imagine flying at mach 1-1'5 at 100ft...🙃
Service ceiling was 59,000 ft, or 18k meters.
Viggen locked up the SR-71 on regular basis as it entered the Baltic Sea. Out of around 100 attempts around 50 were evaluated as successful. It was a mean fighter capable of supersonic speed also at sea level.
Locking-on isn't the thing... sam sites could lock and track.
Hitting it was the issue....
@@brothergrimaldus3836 I think the point is, to lock it with something that could actually hit it. SAM and radar might be able to track it, but lack anything capable of hitting the SR-71. Aircraft would be able to have missiles near enough to reach it, but apparently it was flying too high, and too fast for them to get a lock.
One of the quirks that let Viggen get a lock was, besides being a fast plane, was that it was able to fly high enough and fast enough for the radar to get a lock-on, and the SR-71's flight path was known, so that let the Viggen's be able to set an intercepting course, and for a short while, be able to get a lock-on. (One could argue that since the SR-71's turn radius was so large, that might be possible even if the flight path wasn't known, but that's a big maybe.) Since it was flying over swedish air space, Viggens would routinely intercept as they would any other planes. (well, as good as they could,,, it being the friggin' SR-71 and all ; )
♥
@@brothergrimaldus3836 that’s the thing, it didn’t just lock on. It kept lock through the simulated missile run. As the window of for the missile were extremely narrow it was within its parameters to hit.
The SR-71 was locked on to by MiG-31 Foxhounds too. In fact, it is believed to have been successfully intercepted about 85 times.
@@thethirdman225 as far as I know the Mig-31 where never near the SR-71, the MIG-25 however indicated, at least in the Baltic Sea that they had a fire solution.
It would be interesting if the mig 21 had the same canard/air intake/nose cone setup.
look up mig ye-8 ;)
@@joten70 Exactly.
I may be wrong but I think I read somewhere that Mitsubishi contemplated to licence build them for Japan. Or if it was Saab pushing. Is there anyone out there who knows if I am just dreaming things up?
There doesn't seem to be much info out there but I in one of my aviation books ('The Great Warplanes of the 1990s) that Japan was one of the countries approached as part of the sales effort. Ultimately the F-15 was chosen.
This guy has an amazing talent of making really interesting technology sound mundane and boring. He describes the features before explaining their use thus taking away any impact the cutting edge developments may have. He needs to change his writing style.
He needs to teveal the subject without a lead-in. For instance: "implicit simplicity was built into a precision instrument made of cutting edge technology yet built simple enough that a little-trained conscript can prepare the plane and have it back in the air in minutes." He destroys any impact such amazing developments have by describing it in such mundane explanations. He also disperses the descriptions which also removes any impact the statements may have.
It should have been redesigned as a double engine variant with fly-by-wire instead of making gripen.
Frog!
I am Swedish and saw this beast at an military air-show, and it is loud!! This plane roars like it's shot out of hell.
Fun fact: a Viggen pilot flew at low altitude and was unfortunate enough to pass over a pig farm. All the pigs died of fright and the farmer had to be compensated by the government.
I certainly hopethe pilot, or his mates, took the opportunity to paint a pig kill mark on the jet.
Halim Talafuka,Alhamdulillahirobbil Alamiin,Allahumma Amiin....
You are everywere...
all these jets are sexy - F-4, F-14, F-16, Saab Viggen, Mig 27/29's, SR-71, . . . but can you imagine what it's like to work on these things? Do you know what it's like to be a maintenance personel?
Pilots and Military commanders and war gamers view military hardware in terms of performance . . . not the human cost of what it takes to maintain these things; how heavy these bombs are to load up underneath these wings, and to bang your hands against cold metal, and turn yourself into a human pretzel to get a screw blindly; to take these aircraft apart and put them back together every week to fight corrosion.
Pilot's and War commanders just push bottons and go along for the ride; they don't get their hands dirty with hold down chains.
The speed of Viggen was 2478 kph
"not enough airplanes" worlds 3rd largest airforce. Id say they had enough.
also locked on once is inaccurate. They would regularly "play" games with the SRs. They would launch and push the plane to max height just as the SRs passed and just target ping them to remind the muricans they were there.
4th, with UK, USA and USSR having larger.
Only one actual weapon's lock, where a missile could have been fired with a chance to actually hit.
There was this incident where an SR-71 was escorted by Viggen though, I'll dig the link up:
ruclips.net/video/y5Z2Bb-wnls/видео.html
@@johanmetreus1268 yeah. You should watch some interviews or read the old contact reports. That viggens went up and "pinged" blackbirds was seen as good fun and good training.
@@Mornomgir I'm not talking about getting a ping in, while it's a good exercise in flight control.
The occasion I had in mind was a Viggen getting guided by ground control into more or less ballistic intercept, allowing it to achieve a full weapons lock that would have enabled a viable Fox-1 shot.
you have to do about Kfir c7 he was in a fight not like this one....sr71 detect funny

Offically the SR71 was never locked on.
Unofficially it was locked on once.
In reality it was lock on multiple times, pretty much every time it passed over Sweden. The reason for this was not that the Viggen was faster or flow higher than the Russian counter part. While it did fly higher, it wasn´t faster.
The real reason was the stealth capability of SR71 and the superior Swedish radar, allowing the viggen to wait for the SR71. Eventually the Russian trim there radar so much they could detect it in time to dispatch fighters from the Baltic states to intercept the SR71 over the Baltic. Swedish airforce already know that the SR71 was coming was waiting doing there usual run, instead intercepting the migs coming over to intercept the SR71. If i don´t miss remember so the SR71 was going on reduced speed due to a engine faliure.
Anyway. The reason for intercepting the SR71 wasn´t as a hostile maneuver, but rather to Show USA sort of unofficially that Swedish air force was far more capable than it officially was. The reason for that was to get support from USA in case of WWIII. Sort of a deal that Sweden grind down the red army and air-force in exchange of supplies and support.
In reality, the Swedish air force was probobly at this point so capability at the same time USSR airforces in reality was sort of a paper tiger, its really questionable that USSR even would manage to invade Scandinavia.
Their submarines would get stuck in Skärgården and naval landing parties wouldn’t make it 10km in-land in the Swedish forests before they logistically ran out of ammo fighting kalle Anka conscripts and their tanks would be appropriated by the Finns on skis and turned around and used against themselves with Sisu
Their ships wouldn’t make it out of the Danish straights - the airforces would be detected when they took off from signals bouncing off the ionosphere and shot down as soon as they entered Scandinavian air space and never make a single dumb bomb run on a high value target
...and their nukes would be turned back by Superman and land in their own backyard in Siberia
Viggen a Swedish beautiful thunderbolt ..
I do not understand how you can think that something is beautiful that only has a purpose to "KILL"?
Weapons are not beautiful but create death and destruction around them!
Are something like this beautiful? NO its sick, but we live in a sick world.
Peace and harmony is beautiful🙏
. . Si vis pacem, para bellum . . Those who hammer their swords into plowshares will soon plow for those who do not . .That´s how the world works in reality , so forget about rainbow´s & unicorns . And yes , even if an aircraft is built for war it can still be beautiful in it´s design . . Be Well . . . :O) .
Naaa. Weapons is needed. They secure our freedom and our peace. Without them, we are smoked/raped/destroyed.
The engine was designed and built by Volvo not Pratt and Whitney
The JTD8 was the primary engine, later after the Rm8a was installed and gave the 37 the ability to use thrust reverser
And no, Swedish didn’t design either engines, but they did engineer the engine to work with the airframe
@@stevennagley8969 The RM8 was built by Volvo to a Volvo design.
"Licensed-built version of the JT8D, heavily modified, produced by Svenska Flygmotor"
George Barnes, the RM8 was licensed and built version of the Jt8d, the compressor unit and shrouded was built in conjunction to fulfill the airframe requirements at the time
You just gonna gloss over a fighter jet being able to do reverse thrust, and backup?!
As long as Sven is in the back, whacking that shit engine back to life after compressor stall, I'm all for it
if you seen modern fighters then draken was only ok.
if you see draken at a modern airshow you can see that its meuvering is not that amazing.
even if the draken tries to make a turn it is only shown by a lot of alpha but wont result in a efficient turn.
viggen was better. swedish fighters have since been better then russian fighters.
the russian fighters usually did not want to tangle with swedish fighters even if only for "fun" they just did not want to reveal how bad the russian fighters were.
there were an incident where I think a MiG23 pilot wanted to have fun with a Viggen so they started a dogfight and the MiG 23 pilot got out of room and crashed into the sea. So it seems that sweden have one meneuver kill but it is just a rumour.
Dont you forget that Viggen 37 help a SR-71 BLACKBIRD Bye THE way is was a Swedish constroctor made that BUT sorry for My English .. BUT WE SWEDES HELPED BLACKBIRD (SWEDISH BIRD) IN 1987 OUR FLIGHT FLEET HELPED THE U.S to be shoot down by THE Sovjets Cold war and The Swedish pilots stug Up against 20mig planes 🇸🇪👍 we had 4 Jas Viggen but our planes they now was better russsians followed it

swe hade det tredje största flygvapnet
Beautiful plane and the name kinda rhymes with a flavor of chips, lays sold out and have no bite to their salt and vinegar chips, so so bland. 10 years ago the chips would have beat the plane in a fair fight, not so anymore. So sad. They used to make my teeth bleed and my eyelashes fall out, I miss that. Besides my complaining about a bag of chips I bought 45 minutes ago, the name of the plane rhymes allot with the chips and since I like flight and aerodynamics so much, screw lays.
SR-71 was NEVER ‘locked on’.
Yes, it was locked on by Swedish Viggen several times. Swedish pilots even trained "simulated" attacks meeting the SR71 head on, since no airplane could intercept a SR71 from behind... not even missiles. There are lots of youtube videos about it from both sides, here is one:

So, the guy “said” he locked on. That doesn’t prove a thing!!
@@dr.jamesolack8504 Not sure why you want to distrust this information? These are now public records of the Swedish state, since it has been de-classified. It didn't just happen once with one pilot but on a multitude of occasions with different pilots and planes.
is it just me or does this guy sound really weired?
dont mean to ruin every sweeds day but the vig is just a F-111 but worse in every way, less range, worse radar, less weapons, worse weapons, slower. only way its better is matanance
Yeah the famous fighter/interceptor F111 :-). By the time the ground crew got that thing moving the Viggen would already be at 10 miles alt. But yes, the Aardwark was fast at some altitudes.
Can't compare two TOTALLY different A/C, designed for different tasks/missions and then go on to say one is worse. I mean, two engines, two crew members and swing-wing versus single engine, canard-equipped, single crew. Hello? With the F111, the US aimed for a the most advanced low-level-attack capable A/C possible and achieved maybe 80% of their goals.
@@erictelander6851 well the F-111 was a ground pounder and so was the vig so i think they can be compared
@@evanf111og Yes, the F111 was a ground attack aircraft but the Viggen was a multi-purpose design. With one engine etc. etc. Compare the F111 with the Tornado or Sukhoi SU24, the Viggen with the F16, Mig 23 or a Dassault.
The F111 great Jet But the Viggen was designed to stay close to the Action take of and land on roads reload and fuel out of a truck
that is what the f-111 could not do and the Viggen had advanced radar and not reliant on USA
"Jakt" means hunt.
