Re: Tupolev Tu-22
By the time the Tu-22B (Blinder-A) entered service it was already obvious that its operational usefulness was limited.
Despite its speed, it was inferior to the Tu-16 with respect to combat radius, weapon load, and serviceability.
Soviet president [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] believed that [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] would be more useful than bombers during the future, and bombers like the Tu-22 were in danger of cancellation.

A combat-capable [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] version, the Tu-22R ('Blinder-C'), was developed along with the bomber, entering service during 1962.
The Tu-22R could be fitted with an [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] probe that was subsequently fitted to most Tu-22s, expanding their radius of operation. 127 Tu-22Rs were built, 62 of which went to the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] for maritime reconnaissance use.

Some of these aircraft were stripped of their camera and sensor packs and sold for export as Tu-22Bs, although in other respects they apparently remained more comparable to the Tu-22R than to the early-production Tu-22Bs.

A trainer version of the 'Blinder,' the Tu-22U ('Blinder-D') was fielded at the same time, with a raised cockpit for an instructor pilot.
The Tu-22U had no tail guns, and was not combat-capable. 46 were produced.

To try to salvage some offensive combat role for the Tu-22 in the face of official hostility, the Tu-22 was developed as a [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] carrier, the Tu-22K ('Blinder-B'), with the ability to carry a single [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] (AS-4 'Kitchen') stand-off missile in a modified weapons bay.
The Tu-22K was deployed both by DA (Strategic Aviation), and AVMF (Naval Aviation).

The last Tu-22 subtype was the Tu-22P ('Blinder-E') [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] version, initially used for [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] electronic intelligence gathering.
Some were converted to serve as stand-off [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] jammers to support Tu-22K missile carriers. One squadron was usually allocated to each Tu-22 regiment.
[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]
The Tu-22 was upgraded in service with more powerful engines, in-flight refueling (for those aircraft that did not initially have it), and better electronics.
The -D suffix (for Dalni, long-range) denotes aircraft fitted for [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
Tu-22s were exported to [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] during the 1970s.
