Tu-28 and Yak-28 numbers

Has somebody some figures, how many of this two airplanes, Tu-28 (128) and
Yak-28/27/25 has been used/produced by the Soviet AF in the 70/80?

I assume those two never were exported?

Why has been the Tu-28 replaced so soon by the Tu-22?

"Replaced" is the wrong word. The Tu-28/128 Fiddler was an interceptor, not
a bomber.

The Tu-28 was an interceptor, the Tu-22 a bomber.

There were about 200 of the former built.

700 or so of the various Yak-28s

Was it not replaced by the Tu-22 Blinder Interceptor version 1974?

There was never been an interceptor version of the Blinder. It was strictly
a medium bomber.
