The Saab 35 Draken (IPA:[²drɑːkɛn]; The Kite, ambiguous with The Dragon) is a Swedishfighter-interceptor developed and manufactured by Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget (SAAB) between 1955 and 1974. Development of the Saab 35 Draken started in 1948 as the Swedish air force future replacement for the then also in development Saab 29 Tunnan dayfighter and Saab 32B Lansennight fighter. It featured an innovative but unproven double delta wing, which led to the creation of a sub-scale test aircraft, the Saab 210,
which was produced and flown to test this previously-unexplored
aerodynamic feature. The full-scale production version entered service
with frontline squadrons of the Swedish Air Force on 8 March 1960. It was produced in several variants and types, most commonly as a fighter-interceptor. 

Saab 35F (Filip)

Fighter version designated J 35F (Filip). Delivered between 1965 and 1972, total production: 230. This variant had improved electronics and avionics, e.g. integrated
radar, aim and missile systems. The aircraft's main armament were IR and
SARH versions of the Hughes Falcon missile originally intended for the J 35D, but one of the cannon was removed to make space for more avionics.

The J 35F existed in two primary variants:

• J 35F1 – initial version without an infrared search and track sensor under the nose.
• J 35F2 – later version with a Hughes N71 Infrared search and track
  sensor under the nose. This was a change in the production line from
  the no. 35501 airframe. The Hawé mods I & II were carried out on the
  P/S-01/011 radar sets in the early 1980s to improve resistance to ECM.
