-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was a Swedish twin engine jet trainer that could also serve in a role of light attack and reconnaissance aircrat. The aircraft itself entered service in 1967 to replace the aging fleet of De Havilland Vampires used until then. The SAAB-105G is a modified SAAB-105XT export version of the SK 60B powered by General Electric J85 turbojets instead of the Turbomeca Aubisque, new avionics and precision navigation/attack system and modified wing. One example was built from second Saab 105 prototype. Swedish display team "Team 60" uses this aircraft during their shows. The aircraft was replaced in its training role by German made Grob G 120TP turboprop aircraft with first deliveries coming in 2023.

The SAAB-105G was a modification of the SAAB-105XT export demonstrator of the SK 60B powered by General Electric J85 turbojets instead of the Turbomeca Aubisque, and featuring new avionics, precision navigation/attack system, and modified wing. One example was built.
-The Saab-105G was introduced in [[Update "Hot Tracks"]]. The Saab-105G is simmilar version of an aircraft like the SAAB-105OE. The main difference between the two is in the suspended armament, where SAAB-105G is able to carry various free fall bombs and unguided rockets, while the SAAB-105OE is able to carry Rb05A MCLOS missiles and unable to carry bombs. In terms of flying characteristics, the plane is quite manoeuverable, although not very fast with poor acceleration due to its turbofan engines.
