 ...an bomber force is
likely to be in the forefront of any
retaliatory action. Two offensive types
which would spearhead the penetration
of opposing defences are shown here in
squadron service. The Tupolev Tu-22
Blinder seen on a landing approach
(1) provides a good impression of this
80ft-span supersonic bomber. Still in
widespread SovAF service is the Tupolev

up the hose with a wingtip attachment. The
single-point Tu-16 had less fuel available,
however, with a transferrable total of

was the Tupolev Tu-22 Blinder strategic
bomber, which started tanking in 1961.

This reticence about the designation
suggests that the type is still in ser

carrying aircraft" is very frequently
applied to the Tupolev Tu-22 Blinder.
The Kolesov Tu-144 engine appears
to have been a single-shaft pure jet
rather than, as reported earlier, a
variable-cycle engine. It is said to have

public pronouncements by Premier Krushchev that the

supersonic strategic bomber had been ignominiously can

It is believed to have developed the
