J 35 Dragon Hunt version
SAAB J 35 Dragon Hunting
The first flight with the SAAB 35 was made in the fall of 1955.
It was the world's first mass-produced double-delta aircraft.
The 35 system was initially developed as a high-altitude fighter aircraft.
As the threat picture was changed, the aircraft was increasingly used even at the lowest altitude. In addition to the fighter versions J 35A, J 35B, J 35D and J 35F, the Dragon has been produced in the reconnaissance version SK 35C. The final version, the J35J was modified from the J 35F and fitted with two new beam, one under each inner wing. In addition, the J 35J was equipped with more modern avionics. In Sweden, the J 35J was taken out of operational service in December 1998.
A total of 615 Dragon was produced, twelve under license in Finland.
