This article details the combat history of the Tu-22 "Blinder" bomber with the air forces of Iraq, Libya and USSR. Part 1 briefly describes the development of the Blinder, and continues with extensive data about its selection, introduction into service and early operations with the air forces of Libya - against Tanzania in 1979 - and Iraq - against the Kurdish insurgency in 1974-75 and against Iran from 1980 up to the end of 1983.
Part 2 will deal with the rest of the Irak-Iran war (War of the Cities, strikes on Khark), with the Libyan adventure in Chad in the 1980's and the little known Soviet usage of the type in the last stages of the intervention in Afghanistan.

The last 15 years of the civil war in Congo have seen quite some use of air power as well - frequently at an unexpectedly (and largely unknown) high level. Considering the size of the country and the number of involved fractions, as well as the complexity of this conflict however, this is not surprising. This exclusive report was prepared on the basis of years of intensive research, which enabled the authors to privde very in-depth information about composition and operations of involved air forces, but also about the general conduct of this war.
The article below has been vastly updated in November 2010, with the help of information sourced from the book African MiGs Volume 1, which can be ordered HERE
