Editing NATO reporting name (section)

==Nomenclature==
To reduce the risk of confusion, unusual or made-up names are allocated, the idea being that the names chosen are unlikely to occur in normal conversation and are easier to memorise.

For fixed-wing aircraft, the number of syllables indicates the type of the aircraft's engine. Single-syllable code names denote [[reciprocating engine]] or [[turboprop]], while two-syllable code names denote [[jet engine]].<ref name=":0" />

Bombers have names starting with the letter "B", and names like "Badger" ([[Tupolev Tu-16]]), "Blackjack" ([[Tupolev Tu-160]]) and "Bear" ([[Tupolev Tu-95]]) have been used. "Frogfoot", the reporting name for the [[Sukhoi Su-25]], references the aircraft's [[close air support]] role. Transports have names starting with "C" (for "cargo"), resulting in names like "Condor" for the [[Antonov An-124]] or "Candid" for the [[Ilyushin Il-76]].
