Such a book has not yet been in Russia or in the West!
The Tu-22 supersonic bomber has become not only one of the most famous aircraft of Soviet distant aviation, but also a real symbol of the Cold War. This book, unique in terms of documentary material about the once completely closed topic, is devoted to the history of operation and combat use of the Tu-22 in Iraq and Libya. It will allow the reader in many ways to look at the legendary car in a new way, discovering for himself a huge layer of her story, first devoid of myths and legends.
The history of the Tu-22 exports to the Middle East and North Africa was first represented so widely (declassified archives of the USSR Ministry of Aviation Industry helped the author to recreate a chain of historical events, which included attempts to sell Tu-22 to various countries-from India to Libya ) Considerable attention in the book is paid to the issues of re-training in the Arab crews to the bomber in the Soviet Union, the selection of military advisers, the system of sending them to the Arab countries, the combat training of Arab crews, the air defense, operation and combat use of the Tu-22. The participation of the Tu-22 in the Iran-Iraq war of 1980-1988 is covered in detail (The first war in the bay) and hostilities in Chad and Sudan.
The publication is richly illustrated by photographs, documents, maps, schemes and other materials from personal archives of dozens of veterans who held various posts in the Soviet Army
