By my own admission I know next to nothing about this and it is not for want of effort. All I have come across so far is that is was an improved version of the Tu-22M3 (fairly obvious really) and that is flew in 1990 but never entered production. My own speculation is that it included airframe/aerodynamic improvements as well as avionics ones. My suspicion is that the Tu-22M5 upgrade uses the M4 avionics in the M3 airframe but I am probably wrong?:confused:
Any information would be greatly appreciated and as always thank you in advance sealordlawrence.
I will also be posting this at the excellent secret projects forum.
