On July 1st, 1926 the Swedish Air Force was created by merger of airborne divisions of army and navy. Even though it didn’t participate in World War II, it was preparing to by raising its numbers — and kept doing it in the beginning of the Cold War. By 1957 Sweden held the fourth most powerful air force in the world, consisting of a thousand modern aircraft. After the Cold War ended, Sweden massively decreased the number of aircraft in its service: currently its Air Force employs only about 200 vehicles.

J29D and J35A Fighters for Golden Eagles

From June 30th (09:00 GMT) until July 4th (09:00 GMT) two Swedish jet fighters will be available for purchase for Golden Eagles.

J29D Tunnan looks really weird, but don’t let its appearance fool you: it’s really fast and well-equipped, perfect for any role! J35A Draken is capable of going supersonic, and yet it turns quite quickly, and thanks to that it often emerges victorious in air duels.
