Swedes did intercept SR-71, though.

First, with an absolute maximum ceiling of about 65K feet, how could a
Draken have acheived a radar lock on a SR-71 flying at its operational
altitude (the ol' "in excess of 85K feet" bit)?

Sweden's Air Force had also other fighter types than just the old, good
Draken. However I have no clue what fighter was used in the actual
interception. I would place my bet on the Saab Viggen. This did happen,
anyway, with the Swedish fighter getting an actual lock and being in
position to shoot the missiles. Anyway, it was a well planned and
perfectly executed intercept coordinated from ground, with Viggen (?)
keeping its radar shut until the perfect opportunity, then lighting up
and locking. Surprise maneuver, in peacetime.

Factual sources I don't have on hand though. I've read of this
somewhere, maybe, I may have been talking about this with Swedish AF
pilots, dunno. There may be written article of this in Swedish aviation
magazines, but I suspect what actually happened is buried and hidden in
the AF archives, with just rumours circulating elsewhere.

Another variation of this story tells, that the Blackbird pilots sent
the Swedes a trophy for being the only people ever to have intercepted
an SR-71. Given the circumstances that is far more believable, since an
interception is known to have happened.

Cite?

Mention of this trophy I found when googling for the different
variations of the story.

The one with trophy mentioned was slightly different what I was told or
read earlier, but I think the details of this event have blurred after
it has been told with the details changing, like with the original post
of this thread, which isn't anything like the actual events.
