Description
The A32A is a rank VI Swedish jet fighter with a battle rating of 9.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.95 "Northern Wind".
The A32A "Lansen" was designed and developed by the Swedish company SAAB. The development began in 1948 and it first flew in 1952. Deliveries to the Swedish air force, Flygvapnet, began in 1954. In Flygvapnet it was used as a ground-attack aircraft, being able to carry a large array of different bombs and unguided rockets as well as four 20 mm Akan m/49 canons. It remained in service until 1978 but never saw use in combat. Powered by a license-built Rolls Royce Avon engine, locally designated the RM5, it was able to break the speed of sound in a dive, thus becoming the first Swedish aircraft to fly faster than the speed of sound.

Armaments
Offensive armament
The A32A is armed with:
- 4 x 20 mm Akan m/49 cannons, nose-mounted (90 rpg = 360 total)
Suspended armament
The A32A can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 12 x 120 kg sb m/61 bombs (1,440 kg total)
- 5 x 250 kg mb m/50 bombs (1,250 kg total)
- 3 x 500 kg mb m/56 bombs (1,500 kg total)
- 3 x 600 kg mb m/50 bombs (1,800 kg total)
- 24 x psrak m/49A rockets
- 24 x srak m/51 rockets
- 12 x hprak m/49 rockets
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main
template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>
, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />
. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===
, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.

- topic on the official game forum;
- encyclopedia page on the aircraft;
- other literature.
