Saab F-35: Red Dragon Joins War Thunder as a Squadron Jet Fighter

In an exciting development, the latest overhaul for Leviathan introduces a fresh Squadron Vehicle to War Thunder – the Saab F-35, a Danish adaptation of the renowned Draken jet. As a Rank VII aircraft, this Swedish aviation addition boasts cutting-edge technology and formidable armament.

Key Features:

  • AIM-9N air-to-air missiles
  • Advanced RWR system
  • Up to 4,500 kg of bombs and rockets
  • Modern cockpit sight with ballistic computer
  • No onboard radar

A Draken Made for Strikes

The Danish Air Force’s Drakens have been modernized through the WDNS program, and these enhancements are mirrored in the Saab F-35 within the game. It boasts a potent AN/ALR-69 radar warning receiver that provides you with immediate threat data. Additionally, it comes equipped with the Sikte S-7B sight, backed by a ballistic computer to aid in accurate strikes.

This jet doesn’t have radar because it was primarily designed for ground attacks. However, it carries two AIM-9N missiles for aerial combat. These Sidewinder missiles excel in close-quarter air battles, but they can only lock onto targets from behind.

Heavy Payload, Flexible Loadouts

The F-35 stands out as the most bombing-centric aircraft within the game. Its sturdy wings are capable of bearing up to 4,500 kilograms of explosives, such as bombs and missiles.

  • 250, 500, and 1,000 lb bombs
  • FFAR, CRV7, and Hydra-70 rockets

This is an excellent pick for ground skirmishes, particularly when used in diverse teams. Additionally, its speed and maneuverability allow it to perform well in aerial combat as well. Thank you!

How to Get It

Like other Squadron Vehicles, the Saab F-35 can be unlocked by:

  • Earning enough squadron activity points
  • Or buying it instantly with Golden Eagles

It’s a solid pick for players who want a multirole aircraft with serious ground attack potential.

Stay tuned—Leviathans is landing soon, with more surprises to come.
