In this next aviation event, we’re celebrating the Norwegian Air Force. Take part in air battles to get unique decals as well as this special version of the F-5A fighter, nicknamed the “Freedom Fighter”, designed for export to Norway!
From February 6th (11:00 GMT) until February 24th (11:00 GMT), earn mission points in Air Battles, unlock stages and receive rewards!
F-5A(G) — An Event Vehicle Jet Fighter for Sweden at Rank VII
The F-5A(G) is a Royal Norwegian Air Force multi-role fighter jet. This modification is equipped with a new sighting system, all-aspect AIM-9L Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, and the Penguin guided anti-ship missile with a thermal imaging homing head, which will prove itself in battles against tanks. The F-5A(G) is the first Norwegian aircraft in War Thunder and also has a unique “tiger” camouflage!
- Special camouflage
Among the rewards in the event is also this chest, where, when opened, brings the chance to receive one of the following items:
- 50,000 to 100,000 Silver Lions
- SL and RP Boosters
- Random wagers and orders
- Universal backups (1-3)
- Random camouflage for purchased vehicles of any type
- 1 day of premium account
How to get all rewards
Each stage is unlocked for 45,000 mission points and brings a new reward.
Please note: Once the stage is unlocked, you will need to claim your reward manually. To do this, click on your profile, select the Freedom Fighter category, and click Claim Prize.
You’re able to earn mission points in Air Battles at Rank III or above in Arcade, Realistic and Simulator Battles. The number of mission points to complete a stage depends on the game mode and the maximum Rank of the vehicle that you use in battle. There’s a multiplier for earning mission points, which is shown in the task description in-game.
You can also earn mission points by using event vehicles that are Rank I and II. Event vehicles that can be used have the name of the event that they were obtainable in on their stat card.
Stages change every two days at 11:00 GMT: February 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 20th and 22nd.
Rewards are given when you complete a specific number of stages
- For 1 stage: trophy with random reward
- For 2 stages: one of the decal rewards
- For 3 stages: a silver chest “Snake Box”
- For 4 stages: one of the decal rewards
- For 5 stages: trophy with random reward
- For 6 stages: “Emblem of the 336th squadron” decal
- For 7 stages: a silver chest “Snake Box”
- For 8 stages: a non-tradable coupon for the F-5A(G)
- For 9 stages: unique camouflage and four random modifications for the F-5A(G)
Discounts on purchasing stages using Golden Eagles
Incomplete stages can be purchased for Golden Eagles, but if you’re significantly close to completing a stage, its price will now be significantly reduced.
Let’s say you have earned 85% of the required mission points to complete a stage, then the price of purchasing this stage will be halved. If you’re near the finish line for a stage and are at 95% progress, then the price will be reduced by five times. For example, if you’ve earned 39,000 mission points, then the price for unlocking this stage will be 499 Golden Eagles. If you’ve earned 43,000 mission points, then you’ll only need to pay 199 Golden Eagles. Remember to keep this in mind if you cannot complete a stage on time!
The Upgrade for coupon
When you complete 8 stages, you’ll receive a non-tradable coupon for the F-5A(G) where using it will immediately activate the vehicle onto your account. If you don’t want the vehicle and would like to sell the coupon on the Market, you’ll need the “Upgrade for coupon” item.
The “Upgrade for coupon” item can be earned in parallel with the stages throughout the event from February 6th (11:00 GMT ) until February 24th (11:00 GMT) for 750,000 mission points.
After receiving the “Upgrade for coupon” item, you can convert a non-tradable coupon for the vehicle into a tradable one and sell it on the Market. The tradable coupon can be sold after 5 days from the moment it’s created.
The “Upgrade for coupon” item is valid until February 27th (11:00 GMT). Until this time, you can use it or exchange it for War Bonds. Afterwards, it’ll disappear from your inventory.
To make a tradable coupon, select the “Coupon F-5A(G) (Sweden)” in your inventory and click the “Modify” button.
You can track the progress of completing stages and receiving the “Upgrade for coupon” by clicking on your Nickname > Achievements > Freedom Fighter. If you don’t manage to complete a stage on time or would like to purchase a stage, until February 27th from the Achievements window, you can purchase each stage with Golden Eagles which will give you the corresponding rewards.

Comments will be premoderatedHi! We had some development changes and have updated the article - the missile will now be the AIM-9L.
From the AIM 9L/I to regular AIM 9L's whats the point of this jet now when its around the same br as the finnish mig21 with more missiles?
Am i the only one kinda upset about the aim 9L/I’s being removed? Kinda unfair to change it last second..
where did the aim 9L/Is go????
Please I beg you to give us Aim 9L/I it’s will just be a f5 with a cool camo and a oversized maverick no point in grinding it with out those missles
it would have been so good with the aim - 9Ms :( i was so exited too for a really good f5 that i can grind out as a german main
there is NORWAY I'm missing this event
Again with the 45k bs. No help for people who would like the vehicle, but are working every day and don't wanna spend the rest of their free time for 2 weeks in front of the computer.
Gaijin plz add Mig 25 foxbat at rank 7 where the russia tree is empty above yak 141 Su15 which is basically J8 series in the chinese tree Su47 Berkut cause its cool as heck just like the Yak 141 Yak 130 mitten very similar to alpha jet but with aim9L and dont add the r73 cause they overpowerd for 10.7 f18 normal and super hornet variants one at 12.3 and other at higher br with aim120 and aim9x F22 raptor with aim 9x y not add option to play top tier planes with shitty missiles for more...
Ah yes remove the L/Is which made it somewhat unique, this is an absolute joke, "wow it gets a funny anti ship missile and uhh thats about it for uniqueness"
The penguin mk3 missile has the wrong warhead, it uses the 120kg warhead similar to the agm-12b which was used on the mk2 mod 7. The mk3 uses a 130kg
