Swedish fighters tend to all have mythological names: Drakon (Dragon),

OK, lances occur in mythology, but has there ever been a
hero who used a flying barrel?

Also note that drake = kite (take a look at the planform
and keep in mind this wasn't an official name in the time
frame you're thinking of).

I suppose Surte (Fire
Demon)

I think you have to make up your mind if it's Surt or
Surte.

is appropriate for a Swedish nuke but I wonder what name the
A36 would have recieved itself.

"Flygplan typ 36".
