|
|
\ \u0422\u0443-22\u041C; NATO reporting name: Backfire) is a supersonic, variable-sweep\

\ wing, long-range strategic and maritime strike bomber developed by the Tupolev\

|
\ by the Soviet Air Forces (VVS) in a missile carrier strategic bombing role, and\
|
|
\ by the Soviet Naval Aviation (Aviacija Vojenno-Morskogo Flota, AVMF) in a long-range\
|

\ Air Force, and as of 2014 more than 100 Tu-22Ms are in use."
