A Russian Tu-22M3 that launched missiles at Ukraine today disappeared from radar; waiting for confirmation. (files.catbox.moe)

They mean a Tu-22M Backfire, right?

Yeah the Russians don’t fly OG Tu-22s anymore. I believe they officially have a handful listed as “reserves”, but if I had to bet on it, they’re probably in deep disrepair, because Russia tends to not really maintain their stuff that’s in mothballs. Or in reserve. Or, in many cases, active service.

It's a Tu-22M3 according to recent information.
