The Swedes

They design and build their own jets - and would appear to have a pretty healthy domestic arms industry.
What is the view (within the primarily British) fast jet community that frequents this forum of their aircraft, training etc.
I ask purely out of curiosity.
They are (ostensibly) neutral/non-aligned (although the reality may be different) but did/does the RAF train, exchange or have contact with Swedish fast jet mates?
The Viggen/Drakken seem like interesting aircraft - they take off from roads etc. and I think they were researching G-LOC auto flyup technology before many other air-forces.
Would be interested to hear expert opinions...
