Description
The Saab J35XS Draken is a premium gift rank VII Swedish jet fighter with a battle rating of 10.3 (AB) and 11.0 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Apex Predators".
General info
Flight performance
The Saab J-35XS turns very fast, however turning too fast at lower speeds can also lead to a "superstall", which may cause a crash. Tight turns also lead to a significant loss of energy/speed.

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".
Pros:
- Decent speed
- Effective high calibre flares/chaffs
- Great turn rate at low speeds
- Extremely powerful in a downtier
Cons:
- Bleeds speed fast
- Janky gun placement makes it hard to aim
- Inadequate performance in uptiers
- Very limited count of flares/chaffs
- Average turn speed above ~900 km/h
