Viggen translates as "Thunderbolt" or "Tufted Duck". The plain word ""[[bolt"" is ambiguous and never used in this way: the nearest we ever get is the phrase "bolt of lightning", but never "bolt" on its own. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 19:02, 9 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I think "lightningbolt" would work as well, though "thunderbolt" inded is closer to the original language. The finite form carries significance, as that is exclusive to combat aircraft while non-combat aircraft like trainers and passenger aircraft are named in infinite form.
