How effective is viggen?
“The Viggen was capable of massive acceleration, at low level, as long as you didn’t turn much. The engine had a high-bypass ratio, which means lots of power at low level. On a cold day (we have plenty of those in Sweden) at 30 metres altitude, with 30 % fuel left and a clean aircraft it was like riding a rocket!”

Why was the ja-37 Viggen so underrated?
I always thought that the performance of JA 37 has always been somehow underrated. To some extent it can be attributed to the lack of export sales and the Sweden’s neutrality – there were simply not enough information, rumors from exercises etc., to generate some sort of the consensus on the Viggen’s performance.
