Description
The Tupolev Tu-22M3 “Backfire-C” is a supersonic, long-range strategic bomber developed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
Featuring a variable-sweep wing and upgraded engines, the M3 variant boasts improved speed, range, and payload capacity over earlier models.
Capable of delivering nuclear or conventional weapons, including Kh-22 cruise missiles, it serves as a key asset for maritime strike and deep-penetration bombing missions.
Still in service with the Russian Air Force, the Tu-22M3 remains a powerful symbol of Soviet-era aviation engineering.
