They were produced at different times, there were various revisions, as well as" all-around "(auxiliary power plant)-it may also not approach another plane. There is a rather interesting situation. … TU-22 passed a few Stages of modernization from the Soviet times-TU-22M, TU-22M0, TU-22M1, TU-22M2, M3 and even M4.
