[edit] Nuclear Weapon Capability

I'm doing a project on the Cold War. Was the Tu-22 or Tu-22M capable of carrying Nuclear weapons?

[edit] East German crew members?

The passage "Search parties found the cockpit section of the aircraft, with three dead East German crew members still strapped in their seats." is not reliable. East Germans flew sorties in Mozambique but not for the Libyans. I´m quite sure. Otherwise I would be thankful for the sources of this statement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.236.196.3 (talk) 12:00, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
