[@Cuccos19]

Viggen and Draken was one of the coolest looking fighters of their time. The Draken was quite good in turn fight and the Viggen had some unique feature of its time like data link between aircrafts and thrust reversal. They were "very Swedish" (designed for their own needs), only the Draken had some export success (not too much though). The gun pods looks interesting. As far as I know only the fighter variant had a 30mm Oerlikon - one of the strongest of its time - cannon built in (or rather under the fuselage in a conformal pod).

[@fastfiddler1625]

6:55 it really does sound like a giant vacuum in real life too. Also, who knew you could teabag your downed enemy in a jet!

[@DanielCPhillips]

1st round: Translated from Swedish " Dear Mr and Mrs Knut - the Swedish Department of Defence regrets to inform you that your son died because he was stupid!" Going one circle, slow, in a supersonic optimised aircraft, against a subsonic aircraft with thrust vectoring? The Viggen was one of the best jet fighters/interceptors produced in Europe in the last century. If Muhammad Ali was describing the Harrier pilots strategy, he would have called it " Rope a dope" - luring his opponent into a trap that neutralises his advantages. Using another Ali quote, by comparison to the Harrier, using boom and zoom tactics, the Viggen is so fast it could turn off a light switch, kill you, and be in bed and asleep before the room went dark! :-D PS: I really loved Shotgun effectively mooning you after that first victory, with the hover trick watching you walking on the ground after your parachute ride! :-D

[@AttiliusRex]

Sure but this is the attacker variant of the viggen, different engine and avionics ;)

[@DanielCPhillips]

@@AttiliusRex That is true - they did build them in different versions for different roles. Even considering this, the Viggen, particularly towards the end of its use in the mid to late 2000s, had been steadily upgraded so that like the F/A-18, it could shift in an easy, plug and play manner. between fighter and attack roles. In fact, much of the JAS-39 avionics were developed and refined initially on the earlier Viggens,. The Swedes pioneered the use of programmed data cartridges loaded into onboard computers for missions so that all the info in terms of maps, mission planning and so on were at a pilot's fingertips, so that you could plug in, jump in and go. Which sounds archaic, and something we would take for granted today. At the time of their first going into service though, it was revolutionary. In the 70's and early 80's, when most aircraft were very analogue affairs, it was a very big deal to have a computer on board , particularly one that you didn't have to spend 45 minutes or more, loading all your relevant data into it manually, to make your life easier. As per Swedish doctrine, unlike most NATO aircraft that needed very long concrete runways, very specialised support equipment and very highly trained ground crews and engineers, the Viggen was optimised so that national service ground crews, could service them. They would typically be waiting at the sides of a road or highway in dispersal arming and refuelling stations. Viggens would then land in a distance of about 450 metres - ( 1,476.36 feet ), the ground crew, trained to act like a formula 1 pit crew, then got them ready to fight in a matter of about 10 minutes flat , where it would then take off in roughly 400 metres - (1,312.32 feet) from a road or highway! Trust me - it is an awe inspiring thing to watch for real! . However, even the 1972 initial attack version of the Viggen is still very very much a boom and zoom aircraft, when fighting air to air against a Harrier.

[@AttiliusRex]

@@DanielCPhillips no, the AJS37 is a completly different platform than the JA37, different radars, different cockpit. This is the AJS37 Viggen, an avionics upgrade for the early 1970 AJ37 Viggen, allowing it to carry more modern antuground weapons and also Aim9L. Still it had a ground radar, and was a dedicated attacker, it could not be upgraded to a fighter. However the JA37 is the Viggen you think about, the open software arcitecture and avionics was also used in the JAS 39. JA37 had an extremly advanced air radar, fighter datalink, skyflash missiles and later AMRAMS JA37 however had very limited antiground capability compared to the AJ and JAS39

[@WALTERBROADDUS]

Sweet....🤣

[@AlexKall]

@@AttiliusRex and not to forget, it had another engine :)

[@JC-uk8lp]

At the end of the first fight I honestly thought, just for a moment, that your engine finally shelled out due to all those comp stalls. I’m not sure if that is modeled in DCS. But based on my 8 years of engineering experience in military engines, in real life that engine would probably have been trashed.

[@hatman4818]

Some engines can handle it believe it or not. I was on the F-108 engines on KC-135s for 5 years. Comp stalled one once doing an engine run, scared the crap out of me. It's a big deal on those, lots of inspections to make sure you didnt mess anything up. By contrast, the TF-33s on the Awacs' down the flightline... talking to their engine troops and crew chiefs, apparently they dont mind comp stalls at all. Comp stall them all day, at power, at sea level, no problem. Just pull back on the throttle a bit, let it stabilize, then ramp back up again. I think it has partly to do with core size. The TF-33 had a small bypass, but huge core (since it was developed from a straight turbojet, the J-57 if I recall correctly). This means larger compressor and turbine blades that can probably take a lot of punishment. By contrast, my engine had a large bypass with a relatively small core. This means smaller blades, and less tolerance for punishment. At least, thats my theory anyway. Point is, there are some older engines that take comp stalls like a champ. I think perhaps they were even designed that way. Early jet engines were prone to comp stalls because air control technology through the engine wasnt that good yet, so perhaps they were intentionally overbuilt to handle such stress.

[@speedpuppy638]

According to Viggen AJ37 pilots you should keep the Viggens AOA under 15 degrees to not compressor stall. During dog fight the pilot had a split eye tactics, one on AOA and one one enemy.

I really wish Heatblur would have built on the work they've done on the AJS-37 and made a more or less separate JA-37 as well. Skyflash missiles and a conformal 30mm KCA along with the sidewinders would probably make for a fun plane in servers running cold war scenarios. Also a bit fun how the AJS Viggen is carrying basically the same guns as older Harriers did.

Nah, the Harrier can reverse it's thrust too. Not only can the Harrier taxi backwards, but it can fly backwards too. You can also use the nozzles pointed forward to land from an extremely steep dive in the Harrier, which is handy when you're over the VTOL landing weight and you want to hit the deck ASAP. 😉

[@jcjammer8972]

The hover-taunt was brilliant!

[@Deathbomb9]

Was kinda amazed when a Marine told me the harrier beats literally everything in a dog fight besides the A-10 and at times it will beat the A-10 depending on load out and position of bombs or drag differential on the A-10. But once the conversation started to really develop it became less about what might beat it and learning that everything runs from the harrier because that's it's only chance to survive that fight. Sad to see it being replaced rather than improved to be able to really VTOL like it was designed. They literally have to drop them from the sky when landing from a hover. Otherwise the jet likes to flip over and use the pilot as landing gear.

[@Asghaad]

its the combination of basically not being able to stall, low IR signature engine and ability to lose speed extremely quickly (basically what Cobra does for supermaneuverable jets) combined with AiM9L /AiM9M that would make people hesitant to fight this thing at close range, without missiles its not that great but with those all aspect missiles its deadly threat just like the A-10 that despite its extremely slow speed is VERY dangerous in a dogfight with those missiles

Awesome video as always. I would have thought that the Harrier would have the better thrust to weight ratio out of those two though. It can hover on thrust alone (admittedly in ground effect), so I wouldn't expect it to stall out like that unless heavily loaded?

A bow to you because you are cool as cucumber technical pilot. I'm sure it was respect.

The "Taunt-Hover" move is truly epic-level disrespect. I am impressed!

Please more Viggen videos, this is my favorite module!

I didn't know a harrier could maneuver like that mid flight.

I have been waiting for a viggen video for a looong time
