The target better be about a mile off the end of the runway.

The six smaller "shapes" notably don't have any fins so could be rocket pods instead of bombs. Six rocket pods and two gasbags is entirely within Draken's carrying capability. Four wing pylons and the large gasbags would also imply that this is the Danish export model XD which was a strike fighter anyway and routinely carried heayy bomb loads. Though, it must be remembered that in Denmark the sea is never farther than 50 km away from any given point on land... :P

My take on a Draken upgrade. Mitsubishi F-1 wings. BAe Hawk horizontal stabilizers. And other goodies not yet finalized.

Random idea:  Draken with SEPR rocket fitted:

A couple civil-registered Drakens as testbeds for the Gripen, one for the radar (SE-JAS) and one for the RM12 (SE-VFM), both with appropriate modifications to fit their roles.
