Pretty much most Saab aircraft IIRC.  Ethiopia used the Safir & B 17 against Eritrea, I think Finland used the B 17 against Russia.  The Saab MFI-9 saw combat in Biafra.  The Tunnan was used as part of the UN operation in the Congo & was used in recce & ground attack.  Apart from that I think most other Saab aircraft have remained passive.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

You seem to forget the involvement of a J-35 Draken flown by mercenaries against a US drug-busting force.  :rolleyes: EXCLUSIVE FOOOTAGE!  ;D

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

 :huh: Still works for me. Try searching YouTube for "J35 Draken in Fire Birds". ;)

Working now, think I've got some more Gremlins in the computer again.  Ah, I know it as Wings of the Apache, thought it looked familiar!

That is from the film 'Wings of the Apache' It had Tommy Lee Jones, and Nick Cage as the stars and hero's!!!!
If you love, love without reservation; If you fight, fight without fear - THAT is the way of the warrior

If you go into battle knowing you will die, then you will live. If you go into battle hoping to live, then you will die

'Wings of  the Apache' ???
Lord, that's a dorky title, of course the film itself is pretty mind-numbing.
The original title 'Firebirds' gives rise to images of a shiny black Apache
adorned with a Trans Am Screaming Chicken decal.  ;D

Film re-titling for the various markets is definitely an arcane art.
