Soviets
Soviet military planes were mostly called by bureau abbreviation and index, Tu-95, MiG-29, Su-27, etc. There were few nick-names, but that's rather internal knowledge, plus actually in Russian. One might take NATO reporting names, as they have some logic (f- for fighter, b- for bomber, one syllable for prop, two syllable for jet, etc.), but is this true Soviet? Modern-day projects have some fancy names after American counterpart, but they are scarce and mostly lame.
