- The Renewed Tupolev Tu 22M Backfire Bomber Threat to the U.S. Navy - The Tupolev Tu-22M (also known as Backfire) is a long-range strategic and maritime strike bomber developed by Tupolev for the Soviet Air Force. The aircraft is currently in service with the Russian Air Force and Russian Naval Aviation.
The Tu-22M was based on the design of the Tu-22 aircraft. The aircraft is primarily used to conduct nuclear strike and conventional attack operations. It can also be deployed in anti-ship and maritime reconnaissance missions.
The aircraft is provided with hard points to carry Kh-22 stand-off missiles, Kh-15 nuclear or Kh-15P anti-radar missiles and FAB-250 or FAB-1500 free fall bombs. The wing and fuselage pylons and internal weapons bay are provided with a capacity to carry 24,000kg of weapons payload. The aircraft is also armed with a double-barrelled GSH-23 (23mm) gun in remotely controlled tail turret.
The aircraft is fitted with PN-A/PN-AD bombing-navigation radar system, Argon-2 radar fire-control system and a TV-based backup optical bomb sight. The countermeasures are provided by a radar warning receiver, radio-frequency jammers, and updated defensive countermeasures gear.

The Tu-22M isn't based on the Tu-22, that's like saying the B-2 is based on the F-117 because they're both stealthy. The reason the Tu-22/Tu-22M share such a similar name is because the Soviet air force asked the Kremlin for money to replace the Tu-22 because it was shit and the Kremlin said no because it was less than a decade old, so the air force instead asked the Kremlin to fund an upgraded Tu-22 project which they did, the air force then spent that money on a new plane but had Tuploev call it the 22M so the Kremlin didn't realise they had been suckered.
Spot on. The crews of the original Tu 22 despised it
What a bruh
Suckered into doing their own jobs. Fun fact, the tu-22 had an evaporative air-conditioning system that ran on vodka
That's why I'm not a fan of these many military channels popping up using generic narration and public domain video, regurgitating (inaccurately) info that can be found anywhere. I read about the classifacation scheme in an old Jane's over 20 years ago.
@@derpinbird1180 That's right, Paper Skies' video is right there in the recommendations and he explains it better with illustrations and even more diverting facts, like the fact that soviet T22 pilots used to have their own jerry can to fill when they landed as a perk of the job.
That thing looks lethal just sitting there imagine what we could accomplish if we stopped killing each other
Nothing the Russians are 30 years or more behind the United States of America.
@@richardmcleod6282 keep telling that to yourself
@@gripen6512 You fool, if we where so weak Russia would rule this world. Just remember this, that when you see the unexplainable and fear that your pagan gods are terrorizing your skys, it's just the United States military testing some new toy. If you don't believe me, just test us. I dare you!
@@richardmcleod6282 and you said Russia are 30 years behind US, fuck l didnt know they can build hypersonic missile 30 years ago
@@gripen6512 Yes and aircraft. With lasers and now particle beam weapons stealth is a more practical defense.
Basically was made to attack US air carriers in Barents sea and Pacific ocean with its KH-22 long range supersonic antiship missile...now will be useful with Khinzal hipersonic missile.
THE US is going to take out Putin the same way it did The USSR " get them into a new arms race and drive Putins economy off the rails !! Putins own EGO is going to do hin in !! The US will turn to him after it sinks the CCP in China !
@@TOMAS-lh4er keep on dreaming!..the USSR fall as consecuence that rich republic had to feed poor East European countries beside Ukraine, Moldova, Baltic countries and Georgia!
@@rhodium1096 OH!! OK , YORGY !!! what ever you say !
The replies to this comment are comical
@@TOMAS-lh4er I think you've got it backwards. The USA is the one that is on the defensive right now. The hypersonic missiles are being delivered by aircraft the Russians have IN INVENTORY. The USA will have to develop and deploy new operational equipment to counter the Russians.
Focusing on the munitions opposed to the platform is a lot more cost effective. It doesn't matter that you can see it if you cannot stop it or have enough time get away from it.
Have always liked the look of the Backfire since I was a kid. Russia can make some pretty bombers.
@Jerrol Hale The Tu-22M is actually about the same size as a B-1 and nearly as long as a B-52. People tend to imagine the Tu-160 and B-1 being about the same size because they have such similar aerodynamic shape, but the Tu-160 is actually a substantially larger aircraft: aviationhumor.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Bomber-Aircraft-Size-Comparison.jpg
You mean the USSR
Same. Mad that it shares the name with an absolute donkey, the original Tu 22
all copied from the US
@@AverageAlien typical cptAmurica logic
A nice looking platform.
Oldie but goldie!
This Tu-22M is the most beautiful aircraft ever produced. It's design n look is very attractive. It's power n reach is intimadating to enemy.
The first models of this bomber were a serious concern for the us airforce in the 70s and went into the weapons control talks between USA and USSR. Actually this new version still causes concern mainly for his advanced antiship-missiles. It has been a very successful airplane with Rusia.
Yea right... Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit can start its mission in USA, drop bombs in Syria and then go back to USA, and Tu-22m have no stealth or the range of B-2 Spirit...
Rockwell B-1 Lancer is also superior and in XXI century its all about drones, any big war(that is not against some poor 3rd world country) will be won only by extensive use of UAVs and Elon Musk internet will gonna provide proper comunication for that all over the world, they allready tested it with F-35 and was getting 650mb/s connections with only 1/6 of the final number of the stelites...
@@Bialy_1 Always some over confident layman in the comments section of these videos just running his mouth on topics he clearly has not studied in any depth. What do you gain? The original commenter was correct in his analysis of the Tu-22M in regards to its history, particularly in relation to START. It's modern capabilities or supposed compared parity is completely irrelevant in the context of this discussion.
@@Bialy_1 youre comparing apples to oranges. they dont need a longe range bomber like the b2 because they already have that in the tu 160. They dont need slow ground attack aircraft like the b1 either because they have numerous planes that can do that. what they wanted is a cheaper high altitude mach 2 missile carrier, thats so specific that the west doesnt even have something comparable.
@@Bialy_1here come the 11 years old with no idea about what he is commenting
Ummm... not really. The original Tu22 was a deathtrap, so much so It was redesigned. The current airframes are just outdated 60's designs and there is nothing advanced about their "anti ship missiles"...
Cockpit looks like a truck. Nice.
Зато как калашников без отказный
Look at the weopens enough for someone
The Tu-160 was developed from the Tu-22M-series and, interestingly, the cockpit and forward nose section are almost identical.
Looks doesn't matter lethality matters. America likes fancy stuffs, in a war lethality wins.
@@obisanchez5286 true
Love that rear remote turret gun 🤔very cool !
No rear remote turret gun, either on tu 22 m3 , nor on tu 22 m3m, those are countermeasure antennas
P.s no 5th crew member as gunman
Gun was removed some years ago I believe
Great looking aircraft
excellent, fun vid.
I always liked the Tu 22, especially the early "Blinder" with those two engines up on the stabilizer root. I always thought they looked cool.
That plane was an unmitigated disaster, turns out looking cool is no match for not killing your crew xD on the plus side the failure of the Tu-22 lead to the decision to build a new aircraft to replace it leading to the Tu-22M (which the Kremlin were originally told was just an improved Tu-22 as they refused to replace the 22 lol).
PLEASE, what's the name of the music/song playing in the background at 3:08?
The first time I’ve seen images of the Backfire, it’s air intakes we’re similar to the MiG-23 intakes. Does this mean that we will be needing a new navy interceptor for our carriers?
Beautiful design
Love you Russia ....you are our all weather friend..what ever military power we have today credit goes to you only...Long live Russia India friendship.
The inside looks like a steam powered locomotive! Impressive tech 👊
Immunity to EMP (always emitted by near-area nuclear blast) is usually at the heart of their deliberately low tech control consoles. Can you still read the same information? Then, a console that still works after EMP sounds preferable to me. MiG-25 deliberately had vacuum tubes, that many people criticized, for exactly the same reason.
The radar signature is the one of an airliner, you could detect that from the takeoff
You realize almost all "fighter" aircraft nowadays are the size of second world war bombers right? People go on and on about "radar signature" and other things they do not understand in relativity. For example, if it can launch its ordnance from some 250 nautical miles beyond the effective detection range of our radar, its radar signature is kind of irrelevant. Activate a modern electronic warfare suite ala the Su-24 in the Black Sea? If it were only trying to "make a point," you would only "detect" it when its sonic boom rocked the ship ("Goose, it's time to buzz the tower!").
@@otyliciu Yeah, their missiles also have abismal radar signatures
@@ignacioaguirrenoguez6218 Which would be useful if they didn't skim to close to the sea that they were indistinguishable from surface interference.
noop it actually has a low rcs
Very good lookin supersonic bomber.. hat off to those designer.!!
Looks like a fighter on steroids. Never underestimate your enemy. It might be 70s technology but it should be respected.
one of my favourites in Harpoon
it killed a lot of ships, if you use it right
Great.
One of these has been sitting on the apron at Riga airport since the Soviet Union fell. It used to be easily visible, parked next to, but not a part of, the aviation museum there. Though in the last couple of years it's been moved to a distant corner, well away from anywhere the public has access to. You can only spot it now if you are on a taxiing plane, and know where to look. Even when it was more visible- it was like it REALLY wasn't meant to be there, you weren't meant to photograph it. My Brother got into a bit of trouble trying to photograph it once when he was bussed out to board a plane reasonably close to it. He was told to put his camera away in no uncertain terms. I've photographed it from the road outside the airport- so may just be not allowed to take photos on the apron. I've no idea how it came to be there- but things were pretty porous in the last years of the Soviet Union. I also saw a Mig21 parked off to the side at a little, country grass airstrip back in 1990, when I first visited here. Probably pilot got lost- set it down there in an emergency and no-one ever came to retrieve it.
In a recent BBC documentary on the new QE UK Aircraft carrier the Russians sent two over the taskforce within a few miles. They looked MASSIVE!!!
The doc is called the The warship: Tour of duty
OMG.. DID i just see a fan in a cockpit?no way!
That's the weight of 2 M1A2 main battle tanks!
The RCS of this things is so big American radar operator will dismiss it a cloud...Reverse stealth.
American radar operator won't see it as it can launch its ordnance from some 250 nautical miles beyond effective detection range. People love to exclaim "RCS!" only to reveal they have no conception of the bigger picture.
Very.... Very.... Deadly.....
Why we are not getting them
Much prefer the Tu-22M than the Tu-160, though both are beautitul ngl. Must be the boxy, mid-to-late 20th century design.
That is one mean looking airplane!!!!
...and here we are in 2021 watching RUclips videos from the 80's
Original TU-22 was a widow maker. Downward ejection seat is a bad idea during takeoff and landing.
It was quite a different plane to TU-22M
Thanks not a speaker-bot! But the red missile just might be too easier to spot
Any colour will burn away and the missile will be red hot. It will show up on IR sensors, because it travels fast and heats up.
Too eaiser...but bot- voice bothers you, it's too easier 😒 to listen 🎶
Good looking bird 👌
Of the 450plus built there are less than 60 in service as of 2018 so probably less than that now.
Seems there are two very different Tu-22 airframes?
I am getting one in my video game!
It's beautiful!
Qué fierrazo.
100%👍
It is more than a threat it is terminal!!
They sure need to redesign that cockpit and give pilots a stick to reduce fatigue.
What if Russia had money like the 🇺🇸
It is not about money. Saudi Arabia and the Emirates have tons of money - they couldn't produce squat on their own. It is about brainpower, education, and technological base. Look up the university winners of the global IBM Programming challenge for the last ten years. (Actually a test of mathematical logic). That will answer your question.
Ahhhhh but they dont tho do they? 🤣🤣🤣
@@calripson it definitely is about the money. There is a direct correlation between annual military spending budgets and size and technological capability of nations defense forces. "Its not about money" haha 🤣🤣🤣 dude, everything in this world is about the mighty dollar. Everything. Even love.
hi D D...
'
where ussr russia get currencys comes from...
really ussr russia is a big foolish waste waste currencys and weapons arms weapons for nothing
That's the most underlooked thing when bashing either U.S. or Russian military. Global Russian budget for military is around 10% of the U.S. one. I would say they are doing pretty good for only 10% of the U.S. spending. Probably the best military value wise.
Nice video thanks
Красавец!!
The TU-22 had its two engines mounted next to the vertical stab (rudder)...this aircraft looks more like the USN A-5 Vigilante (it isn’t, but what is this plane?)
TU-22M, it’s a totally different plane just with the same designation because the Russian government funded “a TU-22 project” which they technically did.
LoL at the cockpit fan
I wonder why Russians like the cockpit fan. 🤔
@@hushpuppykl The French like it too and the British airforce.
The sun shining through that 'lens' of canopy glass feels hot regardless of AC. Clearly you've never spent any time in a pilot's seat.
krásný
i just wish philippines will acquire this
かっこいい！
Why are you even mentioning it 14 a plane that has not been in service for decades
I want one of those...
Me too. You want to go in halfsies with me? Has room for two to fly it
@@Unloadonyou mi amor amigo.. opa opa opa, that’s ga3 !
Those kitchen missiles are no joke
damn its very big. Almost 50m in lenght. wow
It looks like a giant fighter bomber more than a strategic bomber
although the cockpit looks outdated, not many countries are capable building and operating long-range bombers capable of launching nuclear missiles..glory Russia
Bring back the tomcat!!!!
They're not that great of a platform if you can't train with it. Hell they couldn't complete a sortie without running out of fuel. And their hypersonics, maybe. They are behind with that one. We have been working with hypersonics since the mid 80s. We watched the Air Force build their test track when I was stationed at White Sands Missile Range. Crazy things going on at Holloman.
Самый красивый воздушный корабль!
Where’s the F-14 when you need it?
I hear the narrator saying so much about all these high tech missiles and nuclear warheads it can carry…but all I see is footage of it dropping WWII era free fall bombs over and over again…
Time to bring back the F-14 D Tomcat?
Apparently this is where lala land dreams.
2:32 last two bombs dropped from right collided...
And? There is most likely a small fan at the front and it need to spin thousands of times before the device is armed(before that you need to remove pin that is blocking it). That is why jets often lose them during takeoff or landing and i never heard about any victims of accident like that->only pilots ego is a victim when he is failing to notice it.
And the air presure during flight gonna spread them anyway, that is why they are dropped in the same time as thx to that they gonna spread and its increasing chance that atleast one gonna end up in proper place.
@@Bialy_1 Oh, you are so boring can't even read it through... You just invented warm water
1:05 - You had me at "blunt tips".
The way this bird is designed mach 4.1 would melt the skin and mach 5 would result in a rapid unscheduled disassembly. So I call brave sierra on those numbers.
Pinpoint laser-guided atomic bombs that makes me feel safe
a stealth version of this would be NASTY!!!
"Kopáč (the word means "digger" in Czech) was an early electronic warfare support measures (ESM) system developed in Czechoslovakia in the early 1960s" and that was the end of the stealth superiority->before the first stealth plane was even designed... now everyone have a radio in his pocket and signal from all the mobile phones can bounce from the plane and be detected by passive sensors on the ground(signal from the satelites also).
Wait you have to enter with the help of a cherry picker? Wow that makes for not so rapid strike preparedness
nothing at all about low terrain-following abilities just sits up there and lights up like a Christmas tree on any radar:)
Be to late if you pick this up on radar. The missles will be on there way.
So this plane has the vodka cooling system also ? as the maneater
just one question : was that a fan over the pilots head ?
Good plane
It doesn't really matter which plane. Tupolev is something. TU ...
Music was annoying as I was trying to keep track of figures and what he was saying.
Those bombs look like they were designed during WW1!
Ok, now did you know, the bullets also did not really change
What's the big deal;Wasn't the Enola Gay nuclear capable as well?
They copied it as and named Tu-4 and... it was complete crap. HAHA
Tu-4 got crapy range with crapy payload.
40 years old wreck
Mach 4+?
Yeah, only once though. That speed would probably knacker the engines permanently.
You don't tend to reuse missiles though 😂. The backfire has a max speed of mach 2 ish probably not mach 4
He's speaking about the missiles, not the plane. I've never seen a reused missile
I just noticed that all of the jets that Cobra uses in the old GI Joe cartoon were based off of Russian designs
The Russians are driving Model T's and Ladas 😂 while Americans driving BMWs and Mercedes having a laugh at the Russians' expense.
Only 28% mission readiness status.
28% Can still sink a ship.
Yeah in peacetime.
I remember the Falklands, when it was real the constraints were off and readiness went through the roof, programs that were due to take years were done in weeks,
All missiles have a shelf life, after which they get a referb.
To do that to your entire inventory costs lots.
In peacetime you could have a ship with day forty tubes, how many have actual serviceable missiles ?
Who knows, it's a national security issue, but take an uneducated guess knowing what the mod and treasury bean counters are like.
I'd say having 30% availability is a pretty good score.
The USN could well be different, they love spending budgets, it's there favourite thing. and they're worldwide and likely to shoot from the hip at any time. They have an industrial military machine to maintain.
What percent of B-1s and B-52s do you think are actually at "operational readiness" and not lying in the desert?
ruclips.net/video/0fGNL-qFa-o/видео.html
Nobody:
Russian ground crew: I'll walk right under the aircraft while it is taxing.
it looks like anime plane. so cool looking
Interesting air conditioning...
1900m range and incapable of mid-air refueling. The practical combat radius is around 750miles. That's really just not that useful to attacking ships at sea. Especialy given the amount of coast they have to guard.
Read up on what ferry range and combat radius actually are.a maximum range is more important for a bomber
The real problem with this aircraft is its entire design. It is as big as a B1 bomber but loses all of its carry capability due to the massive air intake tunnels that take up space that would have been better used for fuel tanks, avionic bays, air conditioning, and most importantly, weapons bay. Somebody though oh sh$t the original engines were on the tail itself causing a rearward center of gravity, lets counter that by building it like a standard fighter with the engines enclosed in the body but routing the air it needs through the body in a standard fighter design configuration. If Tupolev thought the original Tu22 was his worst mistake, and he did, I doubt he thought this was much better.
il est remarquable ,impressionant ,bravo les russes
Clint Eastwood can steal it

who american would be next can steal ussr russia su-47 or su-57
I think naval ships are.mostly obsolete.
At least a fleet is.
Merchant ship point protection may still be needed.
Subs still are effective,for now.
If I had a Bobby Fisher scrap the lot moment, I'd concentrate on submarine launched drones, autonomous subsurface sensors and mines.
Stealth tankers to extend fighter range.
Airbourne drone carriers
Missile defence, possibly energy weapons.
Why have a carrier if it can't go within 500 miles of a hostile shore ?
I think the navy is making the same mistake the battleship backers made prior to WWII.
Admirals love there big ships.
They're ok for police actions against third class militaries.
Against a tier 1 nation I think they are a liability.
To big to lose, to big to use.
Imagine the psychological blow of losing a couple of supercarriers. That alone outweighs the military usefulness of them.
That's why I oppose the new QE carriers for the UK.
It's a lot of eggs in one bag.
It commits a huge percentage of the mod budget to it for the next 20-30 years.
It's a lot of money to spend just to wave a stick at tiny defenceless countries we don't like.
They are effectively just missile decoys for the USN CV's.
They are far to weak and defenceless to operate independently.
I would have spent the defence budget on Astutes and coastal patrol vessels and an effective anti missile anti satalite and AA system for the UK.
But you wouldn't SEE anything for your money doing that.
It's a bit like having your central heating a plumbing broke at home, but spending money on a new car to sit on the drive for the neighbours to see instead.
Carriers are still good against weak enemies. Against russia they were obsolete a long time ago.
@@TwixSvK People don't want to hear it.
They certainly will not investigate the missile capabilities for taking out carriers. Somehow, satalites can't see carriers. Amazingly a volley of sea skimming mach 3 missiles isn't a threat.
Neither are hypersonic missiles.
They still pretend they're facing SS-N-2's.
These modern missiles can be as to ANY nation that fears it might have a carrier group of its shore threatening to bomb it.
They can be fired from ships, patrol boats aircraft, trucks silos subs and are threat enough to keep the carrier outside hornet range
Any time an expensive weapon system can be neutralised or defeated by a cheap system you have a paradigm shift.
And we wonder why carriers are surrounded by ally ships to protect it.. also it's needed to send planes out for sortirs
Just a B-1 twin
🇷🇺💛👍
learn, Terminal Dive!
The missiles and their upgraded distances.. no need for the Backfire or Foxbat really.
No Tu-22M, it's Tu-22M3
For the missiles carried would you please use the NATO designations and also provide measurements in imperial units too. The Kh-22 is the AS-4 Kitchen.
@Jim Goose Not all people use the metric system.
