The '''Saab | The '''Saab 37 Viggen''' is an all-weather attack/fighter aircraft. It had Europe's first pulse-doppler radar, and one of only two jet fighters in the world to sport reverse thrust, the other being Panavia Tornado. This version of '''JA-37 Viggen''' was manufactured from 1980-1990, and the JA 37D variant flew in the Swedish airforce until 2005. The '''AJ-37 Viggen''' was introduced in 1971. | ||
