Despite its small size and population, Sweden has been developing an independent, advanced arms industry for decades. Its companies, such as Saab and Hägglunds, create modern aircraft and vehicles that effectively compete with the products of the Western and Eastern powers. This equipment is distinguished not only by its quality, but also by its unique appearance and technical solutions, emphasizing Swedish independence and engineering originality. This approach builds an image of Sweden as a country that creates military equipment with a distinct identity and high effectiveness. The Viggen enters service! The Viggen was designed in Sweden in the 1960s as a modern multi-role jet aircraft. It is characterized by a "canard" configuration, with double wings, which gives it a recognizable appearance. In 1970, the AJ 37 version (fighter-attack) entered service, and later other versions were also created: training, naval, reconnaissance and fighter versions. In the 1990s, the most modern version of the Viggen fighter jet was created: the AJS37. The abbreviation AJS comes from the Swedish words Attack, Jakt, and Spaning (attack, air combat, reconnaissance), reflecting the three main roles of this version. AJS37 aircraft were modernized to carry new weapons, including cluster bombs and the Rb 15F anti-ship missile. Their air combat capabilities were also increased, allowing them to carry up to six Sidewinder missiles. Collaboration with the Flygvapen Museum The aircraft that served as the model for the COBI model is located at the Flygvapenmuseum in Linköping, the Swedish Air Force Museum. The ghost symbol visible on the model is the emblem of the Johan Röd (Red John) squadron of the Swedish Air Force, which operated Viggen fighter jets. The symbol depicts a white ghost, and the squadron's motto: "The Show Must Go On," also often appeared on their aircraft.
