  The SAAB 32 Lansen
While the "SAAB 32 Lansen (Lance)" was not the most prominent of that series, it nonetheless served Sweden for decades as an effective combat aircraft.
The Lansen was an effective strike aircraft, providing a stable platform for cannon and rocket attacks.
The photographic evidence suggests that all Lansen variants were usually painted in light gray underneath and a disruptive pattern of dark green and dark brown on top.

The SAAB A32 Lansen ( Swedish :"The lance") was a two-seater attack aircraft produced by SAAB from 1955 to 1960 for Flygvapnet, the Swedish air force.
Lansen was a humble aircraft that never stood out compared to other nation's fighters.

 Saab 32 Lansen - an overview
Lansen was the first aircraft designed in Sweden where the design work was not based on ordinary blue-prints, but on a mathematical coordinate system.
In Swedish service they replaced Saab B/T 18 bombers, foremost in the anti-ship/invasion role, so the main weapon was the Saab 304 rocket powered anti-ship missile with an estimated range of 20 km in the early versions, other common loads were unguided rockets.
Saab Draken was superior when making high speed slashing attacks, but in a turning fight its wing produced too much induced drag so against them one could use climbing turns.

Other requirements included supersonic ability at low level, Mach 2 performance at altitude, and the ability to make short landings at low angles of attack (to avoid damaging improvised runways).
To meet these tough design goals, Saab selected a radical canard delta[?] configuration: essentially a conventional delta wing (like the Mirage III or the Convair Delta Dart[?]) with small, high-set foreplanes.
Various upgrades have been performed over the years, mainly to cockpit equipment, weapons and sensor fit, and the Viggen is expected to remain in front-line service for many years to come.
