A French MIM-23 Hawk missile battery fired, and one of them fell out of the sky. Inside the cockpit section were the bodies of its crew of three, all East Germans. The aircraft was a Tupolev Tu-22, NATO name Blinder, the first supersonic bomber the Soviet Union ever put into production.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was a strange end for a strange aeroplane. The Tu-22 was built to dash through Western air defences at more than Mach 1. Instead it became one of the least loved aircraft in the Soviet inventory, a jet its own crews reportedly called unflyable, and it saw almost all of its combat in other countries&rsquo; wars.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It is also easy to confuse with its successor. The swing-wing <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/tupolev-tu-22m-backfire-bomber-history\/\">Tu-22M Backfire<\/a> shares the name but is a very different aircraft.

In August 1954 the Soviet government authorised Tupolev to build a supersonic successor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tupolev&rsquo;s answer, the Samolyot 105, was a slim, needle-nosed jet with highly swept wings and a radical layout: its two huge afterburning turbojets sat in pods high on the rear fuselage, either side of the tail fin. The position cut drag and inlet losses, but it put the engines so high off the ground that servicing them became a chore.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Test pilot Yuri Alasheev flew the first prototype on 21 June 1958. It quickly showed that it had neither the speed nor the range expected. A redesigned prototype, the 105A, reworked with the area rule to cut transonic drag, flew on 7 September 1959. According to MilAvia&rsquo;s history of the type, it was lost on its seventh test flight that December, but series production at Factory No. 22 in Kazan was already under way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/11\/tupolev-tu-22-blinder-bombers-flight-1961.jpg\" alt=\"Black and white photo of three Tupolev Tu-22 Blinder bombers with red stars flying in formation in 1961\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">Three Tu-22s in flight in 1961, the year the bomber was first shown to the public at the Tushino Aviation Day display.

NATO&rsquo;s first reporting name for it was Bullshot, which was judged inappropriate. The second, Beauty, was thought far too complimentary. The third, Blinder, stuck.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Tu-22 entered service in 1962, and its problems quickly piled up. The thin, highly swept wing meant high landing speeds and long take-off runs. The three crew, a pilot, a navigator and a weapons officer, sat on ejection seats that fired downwards, which made them useless during take-off and landing, the most dangerous moments of any flight.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #d32f2f;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\"><div><em>&ldquo;The Tu-22 had a bad reputation starting in the early 1960s when the first Tu-22Bs were rolled out.

Some levers were out of the pilot&rsquo;s reach, and crews took to flying with hooks and strings to operate them. The view of the runway could be blocked in a crosswind. Accounts of the type also describe a cockpit-cooling system that used an alcohol and water mixture, which earned the Tu-22 the nickname &ldquo;booze carrier&rdquo;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0 8px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bKoHMXggEHU\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;font-style:italic;margin:0 0 24px\">Paper Skies on the Tu-22 and why Soviet crews nicknamed it the booze carrier.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Saved by new jobs<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Just as the bomber reached squadrons, Nikita Khrushchev was betting the Soviet Union&rsquo;s nuclear future on ballistic missiles. Only 15 free-fall Tu-22B bombers were built. To keep the programme alive, Tupolev turned the Blinder into other things.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Tu-22R became a long-range reconnaissance aircraft that could still carry bombs, and it served with both Long-Range Aviation and Soviet Naval Aviation. The Tu-22K carried a single enormous Kh-22 anti-ship missile semi-recessed under its belly, a weapon meant for NATO aircraft carriers. The Tu-22P was an electronic-warfare jammer, and the Tu-22U a trainer with a raised second cockpit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In total, 311 Tu-22s of all variants were built, the last in 1969. With performance roughly comparable to the American <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/b-58-hustler\/\">B-58 Hustler<\/a>, it could dash at around Mach 1.4 but cruised at high subsonic speed, and it never fully replaced the Tu-16, which had better range and could carry two Kh-22s.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #1565c0;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\"><div><em>&ldquo;With performance roughly similar to that of the American B-58 Hustler, the BLINDER was capable of supersonic dash and cruises at high subsonic speeds.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>Federation of American Scientists<\/strong> &mdash; Tu-22 BLINDER fact sheet, nuke.fas.org<\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Libya&rsquo;s Blinders in Chad<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>In the 1970s, Middle Eastern air forces wanted something faster than their Tu-16s.

Its Tu-22s flew throughout the Iran-Iraq War, from 1980 until 1988, striking targets deep inside Iran, including raids on Iranian cities during the so-called War of the Cities.

In late 1988, during the withdrawal from Afghanistan, Tu-22PD jamming aircraft escorted Tu-22M3 Backfire bombers striking targets near the Pakistani border, to protect them from Pakistani F-16s and radar-guided defences.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>That pairing said everything. The Tu-22M was gradually replacing the Blinder, and when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 more than 150 Tu-22s were still on strength, many at bases in Ukraine and Belarus. They were scrapped or left to rot in the years that followed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0 8px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mpin2mmiOBY\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;font-style:italic;margin:0 0 24px\">A short history of the Tu-22, the Soviet Union&rsquo;s first supersonic bomber.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Blinder never delivered what its designers promised.
