Saab J35 Draken

The Saab 35 Draken (Swedish: "kite" or "dragon") is a fighter aircraft manufactured by Saab between 1955 and 1974. The Draken was built to replace the Saab J 29 Tunnan and, later, the fighter variant (J 32B) of the Saab 32 Lansen. The indigenous J 35 was an effective supersonic Cold War fighter that was also successful as an export product. Although out of service today, the Draken was influential as the first in a line of highly-sophisticated Saab fighters.

For a neutral country, they sure put out some mean looking fighters.

J35 Draken and JA37 Viggen, two of the greatest airplanes of all time.

The swedish can make any fighter, foreign or home-built, look bad ass.
