It is designed to start and land from our country roads and highways. As our doctrine was that in case of Russian aggression and war our airfields would be the first targets so we relocate our airforce out into our vast forests and use most big roads as runways.

Had the pleasure of seeing an airshow with Viggen when I first joined the Swedish Army in the 80's, while the plane was still in service. I have of course seen displays with Gripen later, and while the latter is obviously a more modern aircraft, damn the Viggen was a BEAST. Absolute power. Weird how the Swedish AF went from muscular and masculine Viggen direct to the nimble and elegant Gripen. It's like going from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Scarlett Johansson.

I've seen the AJ37 Viggen and JAS 39 Gripen train together back in the late 90's. Yoy could easily tell them apart from 10 km away. Just by their sound. Viggen puts a smile on your face even at fairly close range with it's brutal roar. The Gripen makes an awful screeching noice that just makes you want to put earplugs in, even from 2km away. Anyways, the Viggen did a circular turn while the Gripen made a figure 8 inside it's radius. It was beautiful to see.
Add a public road as the airstrip, with tall pine trees just meters away from the wing tips, full service as in refueling, new weapons and new intel for the driver(sic!) out in the woods, and all of the ground service supplied by drafted personell in an ultra flat organization with an absolute minimum of brass. Sure was something to be proud of then, back in the days.

It's amazing how short landing and take off the saab needed. Absolutely awesome aircraft.
One of my favorite cold war fighters. While other nations spent all their resources into making their fighters faster and more maneuverable with bigger radars and missiles, the Viggen had survivability on the ground baked into the airframe as a core concept just as much the F-16 had dogfighting baked into the design. With the prevalence of missile threats to air bases, even today, militaries could learn a lot from the concept of the Viggen.

Omg!
For a brief moment when it stopped moving i thought it would transform into a robot...
Saab. Sob. I had one of these. Little convertible. Loved it. Can’t remember the year. Sold it. Now Saab is into this sweet little number. 3-point turn. Yeah. I used to do those in MY Saab.
A beast. A section of these aircraft flying low would rattle your teeth. Guess that's what happen when you take a big afterburner and slap a cockpit on to it.
Awesome video, man! Liked! ;-) Greetz
Bra bromsar för 10+ ton flygplan :-)

Tja, låter man jetstrålen/utblåset riktas framåt genom skårorna på sidan så stannar den rätt så fort ja :)
Beautiful. Such elegance!
Unreal, no matter how many times I watch it.
It should make beep sounds while reversing...
That's got to be the aviation equivalent of doing donuts in the parking lot

Popping wheelies... In the driveway
I bet you it has lane departure, ABS, back up camera, apple i-play, etc. Amazing!
Wow imagine having that much power in your hands!!!
That is such a cool party trick!
As Darth Vader said: "Impressive...MOST impressive!"
That landing was so smooth and elegant
Amazing reverse and take off..Epic.. my first visual
Perfect for those annoying times, when you forget your snus.
That's rather impressive...
Now, THAT’s a great video. Not from the spectator viewpoint, but from the operational side of the field.
I think SAAB had some of the coolest looking planes EVER!
