Tu-160 aerial refuel

http://www.mw-line.at/popup_picture/mw_popup_tu160.jpg

Okay I can see the flying funnel refuel technique works well for fighters, but in the USAF aircrafts are serviced by the tanker, probably for the sake of the less nimble bombers.

How are the Backfire able to use the funnel? Do they manuver the aircraft or is the fuel probe remotely controlled by crew?
