yeah, but it was successfully testfired, and didn’t make it into service only due to costs. ramjet r-77 is probably one of the only reasons why meteor program existed.
do you know if gripen a had any other sarh missiles other than skyflash?
For anyone curious the book is

RB-73 led to the S225X and XR’s development.
Nope, not Swedish ones at least.

Yeah, well, the S225XR is the meteor in all essentially.
I saw a drag model shown in Swedish with RB73 designation that looked like that. It lines up with the S225XR’s early setup though…
Which, speaking in timeline order, checks out being tested on the Gripen A by SAAB since they took the private venture with it and the FMV dropped out.
RB24 in game has a burn time of 2.5 sec same as AIM9B as both are identical in game as RB24 is also just a 9B irl
