The T-4 was born from the beginning as a bomber and reconaissance aircraft.
The project was cancelled in 1974.
Tony Buttler and Yefim Gordon wrote :
"During the late 1970s there were proposals to convert thr T-4 into a long-range interceptor armed with air-to-air missiles for attacking American B-52s and B-1s loaded with cruise missiles, but these ideas were rejected as impractical."
(Soviet Secret Projects - Bombers Since 1945 - p. 141)
