-The J-35 was a revolutionary design for its time and was developed and manufactured between 1955 and 1974. However, the development started in 1948 as a replacement for the J29 and J32B night fighter. Unlike any other design of its era, it featured a double delta wing, it was also the first fully supersonic aircraft to be deployed in Western Europe, being one of the first to reach Mach 2 in level flight, its unconventional wing design made it capable of performing insane manoeuvres and acrobatics, like the infamous Cobra Manoeuvre.

-Intended as an interceptor, it took the role of the J29 Tunnan as the backbone of the Swedish Air Force and the role of the J32B Lansen as a night fighter, combining the capabilities of both fighters, thus creating a dangerous dogfighter, with supersonic performance and all-weather capabilities. Upgraded in several programs, with the last model being the J35J, the Draken was eventually replaced by the JA 37 Viggen.

The initial batch was equipped without radar and gunsight, which was corrected in 1961, with the next units being delivered with gunsight and radar. 25 of these last J35As were converted to the Saab 35C, a two-seat trainer to introduce new pilots to the aircraft. Two types of afterburners and airframes resulted in two versions. The '''J35A (kort)''' had a short afterburner and a short tail (65 units built).

-The '''J35A''' was the first version of the J35, with a total of 90 units built between the two versions. The J35A1 (kort) had a short afterburner and a short tail. Meanwhile, the J35A2 (long) had a new afterburner with increased thrust, which meant that the tail section needed to be extended. While unexpectedly, this reduced drag, it forced the installation of a retractable tail wheel. The first batch produced in 1960 lacked gunsights and radar, which was a big mistake by the manufacturer, however, in 1961 the remaining units were delivered with the radar and gunsight installed. The J35 was the attempt by Sweden to create a domestic fighter that could replace both the J29 Tunnan and the J32B Lansen. Thus the J35 has many records, including being the first fully supersonic aircraft deployed in Western Europe.

-Introduced in [[Update "Direct Hit"]], it was removed at the end of the 2023 May Sale and is briefly made available on some occasions The '''J35A''' is a capable aircraft for its BR, but it has a few caveats that hamper its performance. For example, the J35A does not have access to any sort of countermeasures, playing safely and with good situational awareness is crucial, since many aircraft like the A-10, Su-25, F-8s and Mig-21SMT/MF to mention just a few, have access to excellent missiles that are very hard to dodge without flares. Thus the J35A needs to remain fast, so it can outrun most missiles and force enemies to do bad launches. It has access to 4 x Rb-24 missiles, which are AIM-9Bs, they are agile and have a decent range, thus they can be used from high altitudes to be dropped on unsuspected enemies.

 -vs-1 situation: In a 1-vs-1 turn fight, the {{PAGENAME}} is one of the best in the game. Its superior turning ability makes it very easy to out-turn the enemy and send a couple 30 mm round their way. Enemies to beware of in a 1-vs-1 are F-5C (very good at turning also and keeps the energy a little bit better than the J35A, in a prolonged dogfight the F-5C can come on top if you get too slow) and MiG-19s/PT (The best rate fighter in the game, if you can drag him into a 1 or 2 circle fight he will be very easy to target, but if the energy/rate fight begins, you may find yourself in a sticky situation)
 One weak area of the J35A are its two 30 mm Akan m/55 cannons. While they do very high damage upon hitting, shell velocity is low, ammo capacity is low (only 100 rounds per gun). The low velocity makes accurate aiming for the average player difficult. Due to these factors, it is recommended that you exercise strong trigger discipline to conserve ammo and only fire on slow enemies at closer ranges (<750 m).
