Just a cool photo. The Tu-22M is a big airplane. Selected specs from Wikipedia:
- 140 feet long
- variable sweep wings go from 112 feet to 76 feet
- weighs 60 tons empty
- 1200 MPH top speed
- Russia might have 500 of these aircraft

Always reminds me of the Aardvark.
ReplyDeleteOften we have seen how the Soviets copied the U.S. But in this case, the TU-22 flew before the F-111.
