What he does not mention is probably the best interceptor of its generation.. Saab Draken - half the power (a single Avon) but low drag double delta - high fuel fraction in comparison.- means it can get up enter a fight supersonic and and stay high energy past Grimsby!
Also probably had more of an integrated weapon system .
