Does anyone have more info on the subject ?
I used to fancy Tu-22M when I was playing Harpoon and other Cold War games when it was a great tool in the Northern Atlantic and it looks cool as well More than twenty years have passed since and I was wondering if it was still considered a threat to a carrier force ?
We don't have F-14's and Phoenix anymore ( I am sure some will debate its effictiveness at the first place) but could a carrier force defend itself against a salvo of cruise missiles launched from Backfires and how effective are As-4s ( Kh-22) with their updated sensors ?
