USA, 21 century, discussion about F-35:
— “Comrades, we officially can’t accept this crap, USAF reject it”
— “Let’s build few hundreds, then for good bribe they will accept it”
But if talk seriously and return back to yearly 1950s, it was time when USA and UK prepared (and we know this even from documents) to total nuclear annihilation of territories beginning from Poland to North China, so it was irrelevant how worse was Tu-22, it existence literally defined, will hundreds millions of people, hundreds nations and cultures will survive or will be killed in total genocide. So, from this point of view Tu-22 is perfect, he saved at least my grandparents in Warsaw and in result I arrived. Regards to this plane.
Thank you Tu-22 for my existence :)
