Despite its small size and population, Sweden has built up an independent, highly developed defense industry over the decades. Swedish companies such as Saab and Hägglunds develop modern aircraft and vehicles that successfully compete with the products of Western and Eastern powers. This equipment is characterized not only by its quality, but also by its unique appearance and technical solutions that underline Swedish independence and engineering originality. This approach shapes the image of Sweden as a country that develops military equipment with a distinctive identity and high effectiveness. A story of pride in the Swedish sky! In the early 1960s, the Swedes began developing a successor to the Draken, a STOL aircraft that could operate not only from airports, but also from roads in the event of armed conflict. During prototype development, Saab chose a canard configuration with delta wings and large front control surfaces, which gave the aircraft its distinctive appearance. Saab JA 37 Viggen In 1967, the first prototype of the A37 Viggen made its maiden flight, and less than ten years later the most powerful version, the JA 37, was developed. This single-seat interceptor was equipped with a Volvo RM8B engine with afterburner, an Ericsson PS-46/A radar and a 30 mm Oerlikon KCA cannon. The cockpit had a Swedish SAAB Mark 2 ejection seat with rocket propulsion, which enabled evacuation even when stationary and at low altitude. Its striking appearance with canard configuration and delta wings made the Viggen one of the most recognizable fighter aircraft in Europe. Now you can add it to your collection! Simply assemble it!
