The J35J Draken is a delta-wing aircraft. It debuted in Ace Combat 2 and was later featured in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War and Ace Combat Infinity.
History[]
Strangereal[]
In the early days of the Belkan War, Cipher operated the Draken as his starter aircraft before moving on to the F-15C Eagle.[2]
During the counter-insurgency operation against the organization "A World With No Boundaries" in 1995, Alberto Lopez, flight leader of the organization's Espada Team, used a Draken as his main aircraft until the squadron's defeat in Operation Valkyrie.[3] In addition, 2 other aces, Felix Boesch, callsign Blitz,[4] and Emil Wilheim, callsign Zugvogel,[5] also used the Draken.
During the Usean coup d'état, Usean Rebel Forces deployed a limited number of Drakens over the Chopinburg Rainforest as depicted in Ace Combat 2[6]. However it is absent in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy's version of the event.
Infinity universe[]
The Draken was made available for UNF pilots to use against USEA Federation forces during Operation Eternal Liberation.
Game Analysis[]
Ace Combat Infinity[]
- "A multirole used by five countries, including the Swedish Air Force.
The first aircraft in the world to use the double delta main wing, as well as pioneering strakes and the blended wing body, having a large effect on subsequent aerospace design.
It demands a high level of piloting skills to fly, due to a lack of flight stability and no fly-by-wire style control system.
Known as the "Draken", meaning "dragon."" - ― Hangar
How to Unlock
