your fun fact of the day regarding NATO designations of aircraft from the cold war (and probably still the case to a degree).
NATO names given to FSU aircraft to help easily and quickly identify and refer to them.
so, names like, Mig-21 Fishbed, Su-25 (i think?)Frogfoot, Tu-90 Bear, Tu-160 Blackjack, Mig 19 ( I think?)Farmer, MiG-29 Fulcrum etc.
2 syllables = jet
1 = prop
F - Fighter
B- Bomber
there's lots of other designators/names, but those are the most commonly talked about.
