Amazing this was built as a ground attack aircraft.(intercept variant followed)

And we bought Jags after this was in service and Harriers too.

Does a Jag out perform the Viggen at anything? apart from runway length used?

And after seeing an early Viggen do a down wind STOL take off and landing - was it worth all the extra compromises to make Harriers?
