Discussion about German corvettes seems to have been popular lately so I'm sharing this Swedish project which I found in Jane's 1972-73. The design was to be a flotilla leader for MTBs or FACs as well as escorts for the remaining destroyer fleet that was then still active. Two were to be built...

Nice origin story for the Meteor missile. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S225XR

https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2022/09/saab-receives-orders-from-sweden-for-submarine-upgrades/ HSwMS Östergötland isn't mentioned in the article, but presumably it will receive the same upgrade as HSwMS Södermanland in due course.

This was a discussion that began in the Gripen thread, but rather than have this "what-if" go off topic there, I felt it would be best to have a dedicated thread here as it's an interesting "what-if" As we know.. the Gripen replaced the larger/heavier Viggen. its a small, light weight design...

I was thinking if it is plausible to get a mobile launcher for either Thunderbird or Bloodhound missiles on a Centurion tank chassis.

So, a few years back SAAB posted a bunch of pictures of a series of small craft they'd designed, possibly just to show off their Sea Giraffe, CEROS, and EOS family (part of the 9LV combat system). There were three ships in total: The "FlexPatrol 98", a 98 meter patrol craft depicted with a 57...

In the 70s, India worked hard to acquire the Viggen, which was ultimately blocked by the US, due to distrust of India's relations with the USSR. In the end India went with the UK-French SPACECAT Jaguar. Lets say in this alternative history, the US did not block the sale, and it went through...

So in the same vein as others....what if Sweden turned more of it's projects into reality and which would they be? The big one has to be a Swedish Nuclear Weapons program... Presumably with A36 Strike Aircraft. Would this have a ballistic missile companion? Such Nuclear production could make...

where I can find some articles or website to show the "preliminary designs" of early post war Swedish warships such as oland and halland class.┌( ಠ_ಠ)┘

If the drawings below are accurate, the resemblance is a bit odd, and profuse apologies if the topic was discussed before. https://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints/ww2planes/messerschmitt/78737/view/messerschmitt_bf_109x_v21/...

I am looking for information on the development of the J-27, specifically if any portions of the aircraft were ever constructed (even at a mockup stage). I know the plane was never completed but I don't know if any parts were made - can someone help me with that? (also any other info will be...

I wonder if you guys here have more information about the various Swedish Missile and Rocker projects this fascination country developed or started developing? I've found this swedish site providing some info and history: https://www.robotmuseum.se/ROBOT/ARM_robotmateriel.htm...
