    Plot To Steal A Tu-22M3 Backfire Thwarted Russia Claims

    Russian authorities say they foiled another Ukrainian attempt to convince a pilot to pilfer a
    Tu-22M3 Backfire-C bomber.

    The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) claimed that Ukrainian special services, plotting with “special services of NATO countries,” tried to get a pilot to “hijack” the bomber and take it to Ukraine.

    “Ukrainian intelligence intended to recruit a Russian military pilot for a monetary reward and the granting of Italian citizenship, and to persuade him to fly and land a missile carrier in Ukraine,” the FSB claimed.
