The story is much more simple All the NATO designations has the following logic behind it:
B - bombers (BlackJack, Bear, Backfire)
F - fighters (Fulcrum, Flanker, Floffer, Fishbed)
C - cargo (Cock, Cossack, Curl)
H - helicopter (Hind, Hokum, Havoc)

Hello There!
Does anybody knows, why Nato reporting name of Ty 160 is Black Jack? What does they mean under the “Black Jack” and why it applicable to this aircraft?
For example Tu 95 reporting NATO name is ” Bear”. And it is easily to understand, because it looks like and sounds like the bear.

Hi Pavel,
I presume most or all of us can’t play this clip. Is possible for you to do something to enable us playing this video?

Thanks,

And by the way, Pavel, a great website and a gift to us less fortunate people, who were deprived of the great Russian aviation till now. Bravo. In German, we say, Sie sind ehrlich toll. Vielen Dank Herr Pavel.

Thanks a lot for the effort.

Best wishes,

Mat
