Are you know this name tank yet and i need information for this tank

IOW - earlier & greater cooperation with SAAB and the British companies, while the cooperation between the later and the French and other European NATO is much smaller? Draken was powered by the British engine, Viggen was supposed to be powered by the Medway, while the Gripen should've been just...

BAE Systems to unveil new air defense system at Eurosatory

Everybody and his brother were trying to have as good as aiforce/air-service as possible, and especially in the specified time frame, but many times the available budget was a serious brick wall between the desires and reality. What kind of aircraft should a not-rich, but a reasonably developed...

Came across this small note on a seabed rov variant of the BV 206: Source Further research turned up two photographs from the Hägglunds afv collection showing the vehicle and a sales prospect found in a Masters thesis on a diving service vessel

https://www.ointres.se/pansar_2011-4_veak.pdf S-tank derivative SPAAG. Noticed we lack a thread on this vehicle. Long story short. During WWII, the Swedish Army found a need for SPAAGs (self-propelled anti-aircraft guns) for the armoured divisions. After a proof of concept vehicle in 1942, the...

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...
