Description

Prior to the development of the Tu-22, NATO planners had long feared the idea of the Soviets developing a long-range supersonic nuclear bomber. The Tu-22 Blinder never really gave the USSR what they were looking for but Tu-22M Backfire did! This information-packed volume reveals Soviet tactics for destroying NATO warships using Blinders, and its use by Libya and Iraq.
