About This File
FS2002/FS2004 Tupolev Tu-22M3 Backfire C. This is a swing-wing, medium range bomber designed to strike targets in western Europe and Asia using both nuclear and conventional weapons. It has been designed to penetrate enemy air defense at low altitude and supersonic speed making it more survivable than previous strike aircraft. In addition to the strike role, the Tu-22M3 can carry out reconnaissance and maritime patrol missions. By Kazunori Ito.
