========================================

 

A. The Mod represents the Tu-22R Blinder-C Recon bomber in Soviet service. While first shown in public as early as 1961,

These aircraft began to enter service in 1968. The Blinder-C is equipped with the same Rubin PN"Short Horn" radar and Serina 2 RWR

as the Blinder-B. In addition to the wing mounted decoy dispensers, the Tu-22R had a third decoy dispenser mounted just after of the bomb

bay, which was filled with 6 cameras and an early model Fasol SPS-5 noise jammer. Primary mission was Photo Recon.

 

B. As of 2000, Blinders were still operated by Libya ( 5 out of 20 ), the Ukraine ( withdrawn in 2001 ), Iraq ( few out of 12 ), while the

Russian aircraft were in storage awaiting dismantlement.
