When I were a lad in the 70s I remember the odd rumour in publications like "Air International" of a bomber version/development of the Soviet TU144 Mach 2 transport. Ram-H is a term that springs to mind. Obviously, to the extent it was ever more than a rumour, the item in question was just a stepping stone to the TU160. But as the TU144 was a direct (though lethally inferior) equivalent of Concorde, presumably the idea of developing the aircraft into a bomber was considered feasible by some.

Would a bomber Concorde be called a Discord?
