It remained in service until replaced by the much modified Tu -22M Backfire which was introduced in the early 1970s and still remains in service. It was the first Soviet supersonic bomber and was used for reconnaissance and bombing, in the latter role carrying either conventional or nuclear bombs. The early aircraft had a range of 1,800 miles but later models had a much increased radius of action through the introduction of in-flight refueling.This book looks at the design and development of the aircraft up to the introduction of the type M Backfire. Details of construction, weapon systems, photo- reconnaissance and jamming equipment are included to cover the several variant models. Operational use is explained and the text includes many firsthand accounts from Russian aircrew of the period. The book will be superbly illustrated by unique official photographs and manuals.
