The Tu-22M is a medium-range bomber designed and manufactured by the Soviet Tupolev Design Bureau during the Cold War.
The aircraft was characterized by its supersonic speed, variable wing design, and long range, and was classified as a ``missile bomber'' by the Soviet Union.
It is still operated today by the Russian Federation.
The M in Tu-22M stands for "advanced" in Russian, indicating that it is an advanced version of the Tu-22.
NATO has assigned the Tu-22M the NATO code name "Backfire."
The Tu-22M0, an advance prototype of which nine aircraft were manufactured, made its first flight in August 1969, and the pre-production Tu-22M1 [Backfire A] made its first flight in 1971. After various development tests, weapons tests and operational evaluations, it was determined that the aircraft performed well and was put into mass production.
An improved mass-produced model, the Tu-22M3 [Backfire C], appeared in 1983.
