There's a larger thread in russian that started quite interestingly when an earlier upgrade was talked about many many years ago.

As ED spokesperson said how russian-aircraft are tight on classifications so it's hard to make a fully fledged one, so maybe if we have more choices it would balance it out a bit, like Tu-160 and Tu-22 with AFM or EFM or what the FC3 level is. That would be a sight to see both of them flying together, being a Tu-160 and having Tu-22 wingmen, for example.

 

But some guys already making Tu-22 mod: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=166332

 

PS:

Personally, while I'm juggling whether to get Hormuz or Normandy, after I decide that I don't have any ideas as of yet what else I would get for next year, after I get skills up maybe some campaign missions for A10-C and Su-27, but if a bomber (B52, B1, Tu-160, Tu-95, Tu-22) was available right now, I would get it right away even if I wouldn't had the time to play it immediately.
