SK60/SAAB 105 external tanks

[Lyuskna]

Does anybody have information about the SAAB 105 external fuel tanks? I've found them listed as an option in official manuals but haven't found any other evidence of them existing. No images, not videos, not even pilot confirmation.

According to the manual they contain 200L each and can be fitted on the middle pylons only.

If anybody has footage or further information, please reply to this.

Nice cutaway drawing and article (unfortunately no mention of being plumbed for external tanks) ... https://www.scribd.com/document/248568217/Saab-105

I've seen that x-ray a few times, I don't think it's particularly accurate in detail because it seems to be missing quite a few things, primarily fuel systems in their entirety.
Furthermore, the actual manual my friend has states that the inner most pylon is plumbed and can carry a 200L fuel tank, I just need confirmation that it exists lol

I appreciate your comment very much though

Never thought I'd see that of all things
Sweden developed their own EW pods for the 105 so it's definitely weird seeing a Viggen field tank modified as an EW pod used by the Austrian's

These images show the existence of fuel tanks. The first image includes a radar system for a later experimental version of the SAAB105 however this book details how the fule tanks were available for the primary service SAAB105 variants
