I wonder if you people can help identify a missile 🙂 . I wonder what the larger missile is for type . I think it is some kind Sidewinder but I can be wrong I don’t know so much about missiles to be honest 😉 and a friends claims it is a Sky Flash
the plane is a J37 Viggen

Looking at the full size picture I must ask you what missile you are talking about.
The missile at the extreme right of the picture is the nose of a sidewinder clone and the next missile to the left under the wing is a Sparrow clone. The two missiles under the belly either side of the fuel tank are sidewinder clones and I assume the wing load in the other side is a reflection of the weapon load on this side.

It’s a RB71, which is the Swedish designation for the BAE Skyflash, which in turn is a heavily modified Raytheon AIM-7E2 Sparrow III.
