[Development] Supermarine Swift: Banking on Success

The Supermarine Swift is a British jet fighter, developed in the early 1950s as a stopgap measure for the RAF’s lack of modern fighter aircraft at the time. In update 1.91, War Thunder pilots may look forward to the introduction of two modifications of the Swift, along with its final variant equipped with air-to-air missiles!

In the years following the end of WW2, Great Britain focused their efforts on rebuilding their nation from the devastation caused by the war as the British government didn’t consider a new war possible in the following ten years. Under these circumstances, developing new military technology wasn’t considered a priority in most cases.





The Supermarine Swift F.1 and F.7 are on their way to player hangars and will be available to all pilots at the fifth rank of the British aviation tree, with the release of the upcoming War Thunder update 1.91. Until then, stay tuned for further updates regarding the latest War Thunder developments. Clear skies, pilots!
