    I think it was the only Swedish-made combat type to actually shoot at something.

    Katanga Crisis, 1968. Four served with UN peacekeeping forces, where they performed ground attack missions. Performed well. All aircraft sent were left behind and scrapped though, since Sweden sent them because they didn't want to keep them around.
