All variants of the Tu-22 Blinder are missing a loadout of x1 #2375 FAB-9000M-54 GPB and the #1662-1663 and #3007 Tu-22 Blinders improperly have the probe refueling proerty despite the fact that those specific variants did not ever have a refueling probe, that is why the Dalni variants (those with a D in their name, e.g. the Tu-22PD, RD, etc.) were developed.
