Yes, it really is! Hopefully one day we'll see it in DCS. It is a true adversary to the MiG-21. These two often met each other over the Baltic sea during the cold war. And in Finland they were stablemates. :)

 

 

Would absolutely adore a Draken module :thumbup:

That aircraft looks more like space ship then a aircraft.

There are 2 categories of fighter pilots: those who have performed, and those who someday will perform, a magnificent defensive break turn toward a bug on the canopy. Robert Shaw

the one thing they lack is advanced ground targeting pods imo

 

The Draken wasn't designed to attack ground targets. It was designed as a high altitude interceptor. The ground attack role was taken care of by the A35 Lansen until the Viggens came along.

None of those aircrafts had targeting pods either, but that's to be expected since they're both '50s and '60s designs and the type of air-to-ground missions that would require such equipment was never was never part of their intended operational doctrine.
