source?

Source? The Swedish Airforce... The US would frequently fly over the Baltic Sea with its SR-71 Blackbird at very high altitudes and up to three times the speed of sound. Since Sweden had to intercept foreign aircraft regularly they had aircraft combat ready and could breakaway to pursuit. "It was routine for me, but I was at a very high altitude. The digital control data that was presented to me confirmed it was either one of two possible aircrafts - a Soviet MiG-25 or a SR-71. I looked at what was happening on the radar to see if there was any attempt at jamming, and then pursued the target." He then had a look to see if he could get a visual on the Blackbird.That was when I saw a graphite-grey aircraft pass me a few thousand meters above. To this day he still does not want to reveal the exact altitude at which he was at, but it was much higher than he had been earlier. The first thing P-O Eldh noticed was that the sky had suddenly become dark. From being blue just a few minutes earlier, it was now black. On my way down again, I could also clearly see the curvature of the earth. General Lennart Petterson is the chief of the Tactical Flight Command but also he was a fighter pilot back in the days. He clearly remembers how fast everything went which missions against the SR-71 involved and describes these events as the highlights of his career. "Each time was just as exciting and interesting. Intercepting the aircraft was tremendously difficult because of the high speeds and altitudes but it was one of the most extreme missions you could be a part of. When we succeeded, which we did most of the time, and afterwards could conclude that we actually would be able to shoot the SR-71 down if it were a live mission, it was quite pleasing since it was at the same time an evaluation of our professionalism."

As Le Ozzk wrote as a comment. :) I could add that even while "The Sled" tried to jam the Swedish Viggen, the Viggen received target data from radars on the ground and was thus able to keep a missile lock on the SR-71.

You think your shit's invincible? But it's not. You're only europeans on a new continent.

Yes and if this radar lock was indeed on a SR-71 Blackbird, Radar Lock is the only thing that you would have gotten!

X Gen same here ❤️

have buyd it last week. Its absolutley great :)

I've been saving up for it! Would love to do road ops

because our military is a defence force and nothing else :)

GR8 point, same with the S tank.

+ Apricot Theory Artillery is much cheaper 😋

@@CorvusCorax. no cheap land based artillery can take out soviet amphibious invasion fleets from the western shores of thd baltic sea... Your point is ignorant.

Mike Woodhouse Thank you! ;)

old_marine ; Yup, it's the most brutal jet-engine sound I've ever heard. In 98 I got off a passenger jet in an airport in southern Sweden, at the tarmac. About 150m away 2 Viggens took off at the same time and the ground shook. It's got a peculiar raw, thunderlike sound, it's beautiful.

90000 hp with the afterburner on. It was designed for STOL from bases on the normal road network. Hence, it needed to be able to both take off and land on way shorter strips than normal fighters.

@@azynkron That's the attack and recon version. The fighter had more. I did my militery time on the F17 airfeald in 1989 and the kaptain that instrukted us said that the fighter hade about 120000 hp then he smiled and said "that's the official numbers". Take from that what you will. The only thing that differ this plane from a rocket is it wasnt going to space to often.

Fun fact. JA-37 accelerated until there was no fuel left.

Jakob fabian Böckle Kann sein jaa :) Danke! ;)

Jay Philip Williams No prob. ;)

Turns like a piece of shit easy target practice for Migs.

Omer lmao, you out here actually thinking that’s true

Omer What a bunch of bullshit.

@@carpetclimber4027 Depends on who is flying what. Air combat is rarely decided by the machinery.

FR Not a fighter engine.

king of the world at it's time.

Danke😉

Everett Tech ; I would too! Sadly I don't see it ever happening...

Depends what you will do for it, if you have the right contacts, you could probably buy one for 2000$ in Sweden

Depends if you want to display it or fly it, there are only 2 Viggens left that can possibly fly, this is one plus 1 SK37 Viggen that SwAFHF is fixing up.

@skogenburzum Not only F16 but also about the Abrams Tank, the T72 and so on

Does carrier takeoffs and no-flare carrier landings , very impressive ! Would be good to see ?

Hallo! Danke erstmal für Dein Lob:) Aufgenommen habe ich diesen Donnerkeil:) mit einer Panasonic HC-V707EG-K. Zu deiner Frage wegen dem Zaun .Wann immer der Rekrut vor uns weggesehen hat , haben wir den Zaun immer ein paar cm runter geschoben, ohne das es ihm aufgefallen ist :) . Schlussendlich war der Zaun dann nur mehr 50 cm hoch :) Lg

Hallo und GERNE!!! Ich denke, wenn sich jemand offensichtlich Mühe gegeben hat und das dann auch hier reinstellt, damit wir es auch betrachten können, dann darf man sich auch mal bedanken für etwas und nicht immer alles als selbstverständlich betrachten :) AAAACH! Mit einer V707 sieht das schon SO gut aus!?! Ich habe nämlich die 909 bzw 929 im Auge gehabt und dachte mir, dass die vielleicht nicht ausreichend wären. Die höheren Modelle sind ja sogar 3-Chip Dinger ^^ Ja, das sieht man auf dem Video eh so ähnlich - ist ja quasi kein Zaun mehr an der Stelle vorhanden :D :D :D LG

It's connected to the landing gear. When it's extended the RAT is also extended. No option to control it seperately AFAIK.

There are many Pictures och Movies with the RAT in a folded in pos on internet upon landing. Sure about this?

@@voderick If I remember correctly it deploys automatically when the pilot selects the short runway and full reverse thrust landing mode.

@M G G First flight in 1967, what did you expect..... gen 5 capabilitys?

@M G G Mach 2.1 is well good enough. But in the 1970s it could out climb pretty much anything.

It might be an emergency electricity generator if the turbine fails and basic instruments still need power.

In case of engine stalling the turbine provides electrical and hydaulic power.

Yes. It deploys with the landing gear.

Politics..

Nice Pictures and support upon sudden engine problems. Give the aircraft hyd.power enough to land...

It automatically deploys with the landing gear.

jean george pierre Danke!

Jakob fabian Böckle Am 6. - 7. September 2019 ;)

AT Airshow danke ich werde da sein

Jakob fabian Böckle Kein Problem 😉

During the cold war it was very clear who the enemy would be.

Always the Russkies.

You would be in space, its a RAM jet engin, no top speed recorderd

JT8D Basic Engine But almost totally rebuilt by Volvo Flygmotor Sweden like: -1ea gearbox to support single Engine systems onboard. -Afterburner(off course)

You’re right! My dad worked on 727s, 737-200s, and MD-80s for a long time. I played the sound of the engine for him, and I asked him which one he thought it was. He immediately said 727! Lol. I think the JT8 has the best sound. Awesome seeing it on a fighter jet!

Because it's two different companies with the same acronym.

Well, It's not inconcievable that politics got involved from various powers.
