SAAB JA37 Jaktviggen, jet fighter, Sweden, VII rank.
Pros
- Very high max speed and climb rate
- Outstanding maneuverability
- Advanced air-to-air missiles
Cons
- Limited ground strike abilities
The requirements for a new aircraft with very high performance to replace the SAAB 35 Draken emerged in the early 1960s. In 1962, the design team of the SAAB company prepared a draft design of the SAAB 37 aircraft, built according to an exotic double delta wing. The project seemed interesting for military authorities , and SAAB received funding to fully develop a new fighter in four basic configurations. The last and most advanced version was the SAAB JA37 Jaktviggen fighter-interceptor, the development of which continued until the mid-1970s, which was associated with the improvement of the engine and the development of modern electronic equipment. The first flight of the experimental JA37 interceptor fighter took place in June 1974, and in 1979 the fighter began to be supplied for service. Until 1990, 149 JA37 Jaktviggen units were produced. The specific appearance made the aircraft of the J37 family a “calling card” of the Royal Swedish Air Force for a long time.
In the next big War Thunder update “Direct Hit”, SAAB JA37 Jaktviggen will become the new top tier Swedish fighter aircraft at rank VII, after J35D Draken. The flight qualities of the new fighter can really surprise - with a maximum speed of more than Mach 1,8 and a truly rocket-like rate of climb (about 200 meters per second), the JA37 is superbly controlled over the entire range of altitudes and speeds! The fighter's unusual airframe design, efficient flaps and air brakes allow her to make quick turns with very good roll speed. The maneuverability of the JA37 can be compared to the maneuverability of a good piston fighter - only at supersonic speeds!
The JA37 version was developed to fulfill the tasks of a fighter-interceptor, so the main emphasis in the weapons list is placed on those for destroying air targets. There is a good rapid-firing 30-mm cannon on board, albeit with a small amount of ammunition. Among the guided weapons there are already familiar to Swedish pilots RB24 and RB24J air-to-air missiles with infrared seeker, as well as a completely new RB71 with radar guidance, a huge launch range and G-tolerance of about 30G. As for ground targets, Jaktviggen can take only m/70 rockets. Being very good at destroying tanks, these rockets however require an accurate hit.
To speed up the research of the new Swedish top-tier jet fighter, our store is opening a pre-order for the premium J35A Draken fighter. It significantly speeds up the research of any Swedish aircraft - definitely an excellent choice forall fans of Swedish aviation!

I hope we get an aircraft that can carry rb04 anti ship missiles.
Stona if you tell me if the f105 is coming I will pre order the Drakon pack.
Its the exact same with the general mig 21s, they could mount flair and chaff pods but damn gaijin wont give it to em
RB71s, huh? So that means Aspide for the F-104S and AIM-7F/M for other top Sparrow platforms, right?
Was hoping for the skyflash on the FGR2 tbh
Wait, no countermeasures? um... why??
Jas-37 can bring 4 AGM-65A where are they?
JA37 nope, AJ37 and AJS37 yes. JA37 can bring AAMRAM under the name RB99 so it is fully dedicated to the interceptor plane-wacker role.
As a Swede this is hard to write. But I think that the Danish Attacker/Bomber Draken would have been a better option for premium. It is actually unique and with CAS capability. Which swedish top tier doesn't have. It would also look really nice to have one fighter and one attacker of both Lansen, Draken and Viggen (eventually). Plus this was a great(!) opportunity to bring our south-western neighbor some time in the sun as well. Nice for the Viggen but the premium was such a missed opportunity.
Not gonna lie, wasn't expecting this thing to get Skyflashes. No countermeasures or otherwise I'll still have fun with it.
Muuuuuhhhhh viggen, swedish players have been waiting since the draken to get this bad boy. also from what i saw on the dev stream the engine sounds absolutely BEAUTIFUL. i hope they improved engine sounds for all jets
Music reminded me introduction of Ki-94-II many years ago :D
