Description

The SAAB-105OE was a Swedish twin engine jet trainer that could also serve in a role of light attack and reconnaissance aircrat. The aircraft itself entered service in 1967 to replace the aging fleet of De Havilland Vampires used until then. The Saab 105-OE was an improved version of the Sk 105XT export demonstrator prototype, which itself was an improved version of the Sk 60B with General Electric J85 turbojets instead of the Turbomeca Aubisque used in the Sk 60. First Austrian Saab 105OE was delivered in July 1970 where they replaced Saab 29 Tunnan and De Havilland Vampire. Austria recieved 40 aircraft in total, and they were finally retired after 50 years of service on 31st December 2020.

Introduced in Update "Hot Tracks", the Saab 105OE is a variant of the Saab 105G found in the Swedish tech tree, though representing its service with the Austrian Air Force. The main difference between the two aircraft however is the modified wing found on the 105G, as well as a slightly more powerful variant of the GE J85 engines. Unlike the Saab 105G, the Austrian version also does not have access to any bombs, this is offset by the ability to mount Rb05A missiles. This ability is missing on the Saab 105G. In terms of flying characteristics, the plane is quite manoeuverable, although not very fast with poor acceleration due to its turbofan engines.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

• Extremely powerful weaponry
• Can carry both cannon pods and RB24 missiles, or Rb05A missiles and RB24 missiles at the same time
• Has an attacker airspawn
• Decent survivability, has two pilots and can take damage fairly well

Cons:

• Fairly poor acceleration
• Does not turn very well
• No armour and exposed pilots
• No integrated offensive armament, requiring gunpods

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
