A SH-37 Viggen was once most likely fired at by a Soviet frigate during a photo
reconnaissance mission over the Baltic. It is not known however if it was a
deliberate shooting or if it was an accidental shooting, but photos from the
mission anyway showed two SA-N-4 Gecko (Soviet/Russian designation 9M33) missiles
being launched from the ship.
The first media reports said "at", but what really
happened was that there was an exercise and it was overflown
and photographed when it happened to be firing at
an exercise target. As far as I know the Viggen wasn't in
the target's sector so it wasn't a case of mistaken
identity either.
