OH NO! HE SAID THE "V" WORD! :^)
But he's right, Saab fighters use Volvo motors.
Not sure about the newer ones, but the Viggen uses a "Volvo Flygmotor RM8", which is a license-built version of the Pratt & Whitney JT8D that can be seen on thousands of DC-9's, MD-80's, and older 737's. Volvo tweaked the design a bit and added an afterburner.
