About the SK-37 Viggen:

The SK-37 was the two-seat trainer version of the Saab 37 Viggen strike aircraft. While it lacked full combat capabilities, it maintained similar handling and flight performance. Operated by the Swedish Air Force (Flygvapnet), it served for decades and some airframes were later converted into electronic warfare variants (SK-37E).
