War Thunder is marking 100 years of the Swedish Air Force with a short J35A discount and a trophy that can hand out decals during the same window. The Swedish Air Force became a separate branch on July 1, 1926.
From July 1 at 11:00 GMT through July 4 at 11:00 GMT, the J35A is on sale for 4,545 Golden Eagles in Sweden > Aviation > Premium vehicles. Gaijin says the aircraft is only available during this promotion.
Players who want the Swedish Air Force Day trophy need to earn 3,000 mission points in battles where they used Swedish aircraft at rank III or higher. Progress appears in the hangar under Nickname → Achievements → Holidays → Swedish Air Force Day, and the reward has to be collected manually once the task is complete.
The J35A Draken carries two 30 mm cannons, up to six RB24 air-to-air missiles, twelve m/56D unguided rockets, and a fuel tank on its central hardpoint. Gaijin also describes it as a fast, very maneuverable fighter that can outpace and out-turn enemy missiles, although it has no countermeasures. You can also check the aircraft details on the J35A Draken wiki page.
The trophy can award four older decals, including Swedish Air Force Day variants, the Emblem of the Uppland Wing, and the Helicopter wing Patch. The Emblem of the Uppland Wing and Helicopter wing Patch sit under Sweden → Aviation, while the other two are in Holidays. If you already own all four, the trophy swaps to boosters, universal backups, or one day of Premium account.
