It is designed to start and land from our country roads and highways. As our doctrine was that in case of Russian aggression and war our airfields would be the first targets so we relocate our airforce out into our vast forests and use most big roads as runways.

Had the pleasure of seeing an airshow with Viggen when I first joined the Swedish Army in the 80's, while the plane was still in service. I have of course seen displays with Gripen later, and while the latter is obviously a more modern aircraft, damn the Viggen was a BEAST. Absolute power. Weird how the Swedish AF went from muscular and masculine Viggen direct to the nimble and elegant Gripen. It's like going from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Scarlett Johansson.
@Tehinke4 жыл бұрын
I've seen the AJ37 Viggen and JAS 39 Gripen train together back in the late 90's. Yoy could easily tell them apart from 10 km away. Just by their sound. Viggen puts a smile on your face even at fairly close range with it's brutal roar. The Gripen makes an awful screeching noice that just makes you want to put earplugs in, even from 2km away. Anyways, the Viggen did a circular turn while the Gripen made a figure 8 inside it's radius. It was beautiful to see.

One of my favorite cold war fighters. While other nations spent all their resources into making their fighters faster and more maneuverable with bigger radars and missiles, the Viggen had survivability on the ground baked into the airframe as a core concept just as much the F-16 had dogfighting baked into the design. With the prevalence of missile threats to air bases, even today, militaries could learn a lot from the concept of the Viggen.

Viggen could takeoff from an aircraft carrier without a catapult, damn impressive! Viggen (Thunderbolt) is the coolest name on a fighter ever 💪🏻

You realize this machine entered sevice in the 70s! ?! It still looks badass, and that takeoff performance. Was ANY other fighter doing that until the 90s?

So much power in such a relatively small package! The power to weight ratio is huge compared to the machines that most of us use in our lives! Crazy cool!

Wow. I thought the C-130 was the only aircraft with a reverse gear. Color me impressed. I wish Saab would make cars again, but old school. Not the computer-controlled things we have today.
@aquillandscroll64285 жыл бұрын
ussling nah even A-400M has a thrust reverser like feature where the propellers change direction so when they’re spinning they produce thrust going forwards to slow it down quickly.

Que espetáculo de águia voadora esse VIGGEN AJS-37. Que maravilha e honra para o Brasil ter e fabricar em conjunto o novíssimo GRIPEN NG com a Suécia. É exatamente originário desse espetáculo tecnológico da SAAB que Brasil e Suécia se unem para colocar nos ares, definitivamente, o novíssimo GRIPEN NG. Suécia, ownnn! Brasil, ownnn. G R I P E N NG ...

Fun fact: Viggen has a Volvo RM8 turbofan that is basically a Pratt & Whitney JT8D. With an additional afterburner. So I would like to see a pair of RM8s bolted on to a DC-9 and see a takeoff with full afterburn.

Any time you place inside a fuselage, an engine from a Boeing 737, and you add an afterburner and a thrust reversal unit, you have one heck of an aircraft!

@M W Actually it is. Look up the time when a Swedish submarine "sunk" a US aircraft carrier. It was an exercise, but the fact that the sub had been able to get past the carrier's destroyer and cruiser screens without being detected really surprised the Americans.
