I don't know much about aeronautics but see how they load the Bombs I can say from the year 2000 technology is the way Now 2022

Although the TU-22 model does not have any notable successes, it is a superior aircraft to its predecessor, the TU-16. Range and take-off performance are the known weak points of the aircraft. With the production of the TU-22, the development of the next generation to replace this aircraft has begun.

Along with the Mig-23 and Su-17 designs, a new aircraft project was created by taking into account the features such as short runway take-off, high cruise speed, low flight convenience, and efficient cruise offered by variable geometry wing technology. The result of the project is the new variable geometry Samolyot 145 (Russian. Aeroplane 145). The Tu-22M uses Tu-22-based weapon systems and carries the same Kh-22 missile.

The Soviet Union did not export the TU-22M, but with the collapse of the USSR, there were 52 aircraft remaining in Belarusian use. 29 aircraft owned by Ukraine were destroyed with the restructuring of nuclear weapons.

Tupolev company has been negotiating with potential buyers including Iran, India and People's Republic of China since 1992, but as of December 2012, no sales have taken place. Since 2004, four of them have been chartered to India for coast guard and possible operations.
