Sounds interesting.  But I wonder if it might be more appropriate to use a Tu-28 "Fiddler"?  It's just about as big as the Tu-22 and is already designed as an interceptor?

And you going to need some pretty big rockets to launch that size beast.

You might be better off attempting to launch it vertically, attached to a large rocket, a la the Space Shuttle.  Just because the rockets necessary are going to be soo big.
