Both sides know which was which. OK, I must have missed the clue there.

On Sam of All Fears movie Tu-22M fire cruise missile destruction to American carrier is very exciting too.

Red Storm Rising: awesome video, except that the French Crusaders have turned into Super Etendards, and their 8 Backfire kills have vanished into thin air.
No idea if the culprit is the video author or if the audio book cut Clancy text in the first place (it seems he based his video on the audiobook).

Where was the Hummer and Tomcat CAP coverage?

Post Cold War, such sorties were much reduced during the 1990s to save money.

The first and only time I had seen a TU-22M was during NorPac 1983 while onboard CVN-65. We had a three carrier battle group (CVN-65, CV-41, CV-43) 300 miles off Petropavlovsk. Not only Backfires but Bears and Bisons as well, lots of over-flights with F-14, A-6 and A-7 escorts. The typical cold war cat and mouse game however, we did go to GQ for real (no drill) one night. No where to run in the middle of the ocean. Our USN pilots did flash the Soviet pilots Playboy Centerfold photos from time to time.
