It is a long-range supersonic interceptor developed by the Soviet Union's Tupolev Design Bureau in the 1960 s. The project, codenamed "148", aims to develop a new generation of long-range interceptors to replace the Tu-128 series. It adopts a variable swept wing design and is planned to be equipped with two РД-19 Р-2 engines with high-speed and long-range interception capabilities. Equipped with the "Wind 100" long-range missile and advanced avionics equipment, it has independent combat capabilities and can perform interception tasks without ground guidance. Due to the development level of the Soviet electronics industry and the air force's low demand for multi-purpose aircraft, the project ultimately failed to enter mass production.
