Could be wrong, but here goes:

B-36, B-47, F-84F, F-89, F-106, F-101, F-86D, F-94C, Saab Draken, Saab
29, F-4D Skyray, F7U Cutlass, F9F (swept-wing) Cougar, Gloster
Javelin, Avro Vulcan, Handley Page Victor, Supermarine Scimitar, Fiat
G.91, English Electric Lightning, Dassault Mirage IV, Saab Viggen,
Sukhoi Su-15, Shin Meiwa, Alpha Jet, Folland Gnat, BAe Hawk, Fuji
T1F2, Supermarine Swift, Tupolov Tu-22, Tupulov Tu-26, B-58 Hustler,
Tupolov Tu-16, North American B-45, Hawker Firebrand, Tupolov Tu-20,


With the "TU-26" this is the TU-22M BACKFIRE. The Backfire was used for
bombing raids in Afghanistan. During the run up to the Soviet withdrawal the
Backfires were heavily employed. The TU-16 BADGER was also used during
Afghainistan. With the TU-20 (VVS designation) you mean the TU-95 BEAR. As
far as I remember the BEAR has not been used in combat operations during
Soviet involvement in Afghanistan as a bomb-truck.
