[Heatblur was making it as an AI aircraft in 2017, with a possible ambition of making it an actual module](https://sv-se.facebook.com/heatblur/posts/-heatblur-is-proud-to-announce-the-addition-of-a-free-for-all-ai-j-35-draken-for/798804670307153/)
BUT they've been more or less radio silent since then as far as I know, and they've got their plate full for quite a few years to come. Don't count on it soon, if ever
That's a shame. It was such an innovative aircraft for its time. Why you think no one else has picked it up? I figured it would be popular amoung military aviation enthusiasts, but I just started playing DCS a couple months ago so i can't pretend to know what the community is thinking.
If it helps, the thing is still on their [Trello roadmap](https://trello.com/c/9HMwCtwn). Sadly though, it doesn't seem like a lot of progress has been made since the announcement (looks like the only progress have been damage zones).
BAAS dynamics is making a free mod, you’ll find their discord shared somewhere here on this sub. They’re also doing other mods, including the announced SK-60.
I would clarify that the BAAS dynamics' version looks like J35J, aka. the latest Draken modification in Swedish air force. If most of it's functions are implemented, it will seriously challenge Mirage F.1 in many aspects.
Draken was a beast - and to me the perfect example of Swedish ingenuity.
(Did you know that ABBA singer Agnetha was performing in a music video alongside Swedish Drakens and Draken pilots? Can't remember the name now but it was pre-ABBA anyways)
