-The airframe itself does not have a high survivability: the airplane, of course, can survive a machine-gun burst or a couple of hits from a Soviet 23 mm cannon, but no more than that. The spars in the wings are quite fragile and are destroyed by several hits from air cannons and strong negative overloads. The minus is also large dimensions, which greatly simplify the enemy shooting at the machine.

A downside is also its large profile, which greatly simplifies the enemy shooting at the machine.
 In the fuselage and wings are installed treaded fuel tanks, which are quite rarely set on fire. Two pilots, fire suppression system and blocks of dipole reflectors also contribute to the survivability of the aircraft. The cockpit is protected by 5 to 15 mm thick armour, as well as 50 mm armoured glass, but this protection is enough for a few fragmentation shells, and armour-piercing 12.7 and 20 mm shells will easily penetrate this armour.
-A32A armour scheme
+On the A32A, it is definitely not worth taking risks: any damage to the control surfaces or internal components of the machine immediately affects the controllability and control of the aircraft, which forces to withdraw from the battle and return to the airfield.

 '''Air realistic battles'''
-In Air RB you can take three 600 kg bombs - their total TNT equivalent is enough to destroy one base. Also take fuel for 30 minutes of flight, because most of the time you will have to fly with the afterburner on. After dropping bombs, you can return to the airfield, or try your luck against enemy aircraft. In this case, the use of the airplane is very similar to the use of early reagents - you have to rely on the gained energy and speed, and do not get involved in dogfights. Just get enough speed and look for inattentive or energy-depleted opponents. The airplane is very good at conserving energy, so you'll have a good chance even against sluggish opponents like [[F-86 Sabre (Family)|Sabres]] and early [[MiG-21F-13|MiG-21s]], as long as you always leave yourself time to retreat. Don't be greedy and don't underestimate the enemy - if you let the enemy pass you forward due to your own negligence, you won't be able to throw him off your tail. Even if you are far away from the enemy, it does not mean that you are safe. It is very likely that a missile will be fired at you, so it is worth looking around regularly.

 <!-- ''Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.'' -->
-''The aircraft is powered by a Svenska Flygmotor RM5A turbojet engine, a licensed version of the British Rolls-Royce Avon Mk 21A TRD. The engine develops 3,420 kgf in normal operation and 4,630 kgf on afterburner, a very mediocre performance for such a large attack aircraft. With a full bomb load the airplane barely breaks away from the runway surface and cannot accelerate above 780 km/h. Even after jettisoning the suspended armament, the maximum speed increases to only 1050 km/h. In addition, at high altitudes, engine efficiency is significantly reduced, so do not try to climb above three kilometers - most of the opponents will be much higher anyway. It is better to gain maximum speed near the ground and then spend it as sparingly as possible, and in no case try to run away from the opponents at altitude. Needless to say, almost any potential opponent will be much faster than the Swedish Striker.''

-''The aircraft's arrow-shaped wing has a large area and advanced mechanization, which means low stall speed and good stability at low speeds. Also a large area of ailerons as if disposes to active maneuvering, but let down the stabilizer - it loses its effectiveness at speeds above 600 km / h and does not allow you to conduct active maneuvering. But, thanks to limited rudder thrust and competent centering, the aircraft almost never reaches critical angles of attack, as, for example, [[MiG-21F-13|Mig-21]] or [[J35D]]. Because of this, and the low aerodynamic drag of the airframe, the airplane keeps energy very well. This feature can allow you to roll over opponents who have lost energy, and in case of failure, quickly retreat before the enemy has time to regain speed.''

 === '''F 17 Kallinge''' ===
 [[File:F17 airbase.jpg|thumb|F 17 Wing airbase in Kallinge]]
-The A32A attack aircraft of this wing were featured in a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuGX_u9nWuY 1957 short film], including the aircraft that became the prototype for the game version of the A32A "Röd Adam". It is distinguished by the F 17 Kallinge wing camouflage and the red letter "A" on the wing, from which its name was derived: "red" in Swedish is '''Röd''', "A" in the phonetic alphabet is '''Adam'''.
+''The A32As served also as part of the F 17 Kallinge wing. The wing itself was formed in 1944 and was based at a former military training ground near Brekdakra. Initially the wing was involved in maritime operations such as sea lane mines and aerial reconnaissance, and operated [[B3C]] and [[B17B|B17]] bombers. In 1947, the wing was converted to a bomber wing, rearming with the [[B18B]] and [[T18B]]. In the early 50s, the wing received the [[A21RB|A21R]] jet and eventually the A32A. In 1973 the F 3 Östgöta wing was disbanded, from which the F 17 received two [[J35D]] squadrons, and eventually gave up the A32A. For the next two years the wing was purely fighter until in 1978 one of the two squadrons was replaced by a reconnaissance squadron manned by the latest SF/SH37s, and four years later the remaining squadron of Drakens was replaced by [[JA37C]]<nowiki/>s. In 1993, the reconnaissance squadron was transferred to the F 10 Scania wing and replaced by a fighter squadron from the disbanded F 13 Bråvalla wing. In 2002, all aircraft in the wing were replaced by the versatile [[JAS39C]].''
