No as in in the photo under the right wing, doesn’t seem to be a drop tank. It is much smaller than the one under the centre point.
That’s the countermeasure pod.
Right.
It’s quite big though.

No, it has the 30mm gun inside the fuselage but not the external gun pods that the AJ/AJS gets. The text says something like no Akans on the wing and wing root hardpoints, paraphrasing and using Google Translate because I don’t speak Swedish.
The JA37D is currently modelled correctly, except it’s missing its stronger radar and the fox3s. To my knowledge, everything else (except its use of RB24J’s) is correct.

IIRC the D removed the airbreak for some reason
The air brake is still there on the underside, it just doesn’t have the air brake on the top.
It’s U98 disruptor pod
No, it’s actually a radar disruptor pod, absorbing the radar lock, then sending the waves away in all directions cloaking the plane
Okay thanks for the correction, I did some digging and it’s a “Capsule U95-1 Sturgeon capsule”. It says here they were installed on the trainer 2 seat variant of the viggen SK37E but shows an image on their page of it installed on the JA37D.

I want to ask you guys a question.
Why do you want AIM-120 on JA37D?
It sits at the amazing BR of 12.0 right now. I’ve played around 90 matches in 12.0 BR vehicles since the BR changes.
It’s a very comfortable BR, mostly getting downtiers to 11.0.
JA37D is very competitive at 12.0, especially considering the very, and I really mean very frequent downtiers.
If it got AIM-120, it would go to 13.0, with it’s horrible RWR. Do you guys really want this?
Just enjoy it at 12.0 fighting F-5Cs and MIG-21s
