Saab Sk 37E Viggen, circa March 2004, 37817 ‘75’. This electronic warfare training version was modified from the standard Sk 37 tactical trainer by adding a rear cockpit EW control panel and the ability to carry a variety of external jamming pods. F21 Wing was the last unit to operate Viggens, its Sk37Es being phased out of service in November this year.

Among the wide variety of armament carried by the AJS 37 was the BK90 dispenser weapon system carried on the F7 Wing aircraft during trials. As with all of the attack/reconnaissance Viggens it is also armed with Sidewinders for self defence.

Jaktviggens probably intercepted more potential intruders during the Cold War than any other type. Should the need have arisen, the JA 37 could have defended Swedish airspace using its cannon, Rb74 Sidewinder or Rb71 Sky Flash air-to-air missiles.

Last of the breed. Following the Viggen’s retirement from operational service at year end, two Sk 37E Viggens, including 37809 '72' will be retained by the FMV’s test and evaluation centre for electronic warfare training and Gripen development.
