Hey, only the fact that a helo can carry 650 kg missiles on its wings and fly with them is enough of an achievement for me! If it would not lose range because of carrying them it would be breaching the laws of physics and we don't want that to happen Very Happy

he Ka-52Ks helicopter is now being equipped with AShMs with 260 km range:

GarryB Mon Nov 26, 2018 3:38 am

Well it could carry two Kh-35s and two drop tanks to get that range back... besides you could send a small ship ahead with a helo pad and it could land closer to the target and refuel if you wanted...

Interesting presentation for foreign customers of the ship version of the Ka-52K combat helicopter from Rosoboronexport.

That has to be the sickest attack helicopter out there to date! From the insane cockpit systems with the HUD and all the MFD screens and the OLS showing like an HD camera to the navigation system to the President-S self defense system to now the moveable gun (to some degree) which seems to be an improvement to the older and fixed one all the way to even the paint job! You can even tell that paint is nice and thick and flat and almost like a primer to guard against the salt environment. Really great stuff.

This makes me wonder what happened to the Egyptian tender and if there is any info on an actual contract or did they back out of it because of CAATSA? I hope not because this thing is truly a beast and would serve the EN really well on its Mistrals.

The momentum generated by the main rotors is enormous and vastly more powerful than any tail rotor, which means even when flying at 180km/h the pilot can still turn the nose of the helicopter to the left or to the right... which means he can point the wing mounted weapons and gun and optics at targets that the helicopter is not flying directly towards.

That is a huge advantage in combat in terms of untrained people on the ground who will tend to aim directly at the helicopter.

It also means the gun can be attached to near the centre of gravity of the helicopter so when the gun is fired the helicopter is not shifted around so much by the recoil.

Helicopters with undernose cannon turrets buck and move when the gun is fired, reducing accuracy performance.

All the models of the Hokum are much more accurate with their guns and all have the ability to elevate and have a small range of limited traverse to aim precisely at a ground or air target.

When the Commanche was the latest and best helicopter in the world one of the features they went on about was its ability to point its nose at a target... till Kamov started pointing out the nose pointing ability of any coaxial design and then they shut up.

Needless to say the Commanche can't fly sideways at 180km/h.

This makes me wonder what happened to the Egyptian tender and if there is any info on an actual contract or did they back out of it because of CAATSA? I hope not because this thing is truly a beast and would serve the EN really well on its Mistrals.

Sounds like they are buying Su-35s so I would think Ka-52Ks will be ordered too...

Damn,its kind of a bummer that they didnt present it to be able to carry the kh-35, LMUR, khrizantema and hermes, given that its a naval variant

It would depend on the Egyptian requirements I guess - so it would depend on whether they want to operate it as an anti-ship helicopter or not, but it is certainly capable to do so.

I think we saw just one pic of the Egyptian Ka-52 armed with a KH-35 when President Sisi was inspecting one of the bases that houses the helos. And the Kh-38 as well as the Kh-59 and 3M-54 Kalibr are also part of the inventory but it's hard to tell if those are part of the MiG-29M's weapons package or interchangeable with the Ka-52's.

Yes absolutely! The key phrase is "can also". I edited my post to say it can also carry the Kh-31 but I can see that it can be a bit confusing Smile

While that camo scheme is popular in country and many like it as do I, I still think it's missing a 3rd party color. One that's not as dominant as the current two, but maybe a little bit of a light or dark green or even a reddish/maroon would highlight that desert camo pattern a bit better. It just seems like it's missing something.

Another thing I picked up off that great video presentation that I didn't know before was that the ejection system can be controlled by either pilot or co-pilot. Very thoughtful engineering since it covers both pilots in case one of them is wounded or incapable of activating his own seat. Seems like they thought of everything in designing all the systems for this helo.

Speaking of the terrific cockpit display in the Ka-52, this pic of El Presidente has been making its rounds on social media and you get a good look at that cockpit. Even looks like Sisi is admiring it!

Russian Helicopters continue work on the creation of the Ka-52K helicopter for the Russian Navy, a contract with the Ministry of Defense has been signed. This was announced by the general director of the holding, Andrei Boginsky.

The Russian military department and "Russian Helicopters" signed a contract to continue the development work on the creation of a "sea" version of the Ka-52K helicopter. At the moment, work is underway to unify the marine version with the land one. The creation of the new helicopter should be completed by 2023.

Just the regular land attack Alligator version and they had the rotors on only a few of the 50 ordered modified to fold so they can store them and use them on the boats until the Katran tender is finalized, They didn't even get the wings modified to fold, just the rotors to bring them down the ramps but that's about it. A lot left in the Katran from composites to anti corrosive paints to carrying the massive KH-38 I think and other naval requirements that don't exist on the land versions that were temporarily and slightly modified.

I posted this picture some time ago of the Egyptian KA-52 on the Mistral class. Notice the longer "wing" compared to the K version.

The Northern Fleet frigate Admiral Golovko practiced interaction with the Ka-52K helicopter

Ka-52K for Russian Navy - Page 4 Sf1-2710

The Northern Fleet frigate Admiral Golovko practiced receiving a Ka-52K Katran ship-based helicopter on deck while anchored in the Kola Bay and the Barents Sea.

The training flights took place during the daytime. The pilots performed landings on the frigate's deck at rest and on the move.

The helicopter pilots also flew around the frigate to check its radio-technical weapons, air defense systems, communications systems, and aviation control.

A total of more than 30 landings and takeoffs from the ship's deck were performed.

The air group personnel, as well as the ship's crew providing the flights, were involved in the flights.

The Ka-52K Katran ship-based helicopter differs from the Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopter by having a shortened folding wing, which has been modified to accommodate heavy weapons, and a blade folding mechanism, which allows it to be compactly located in a ship's hangar.

The Ka-52K is designed for patrolling, fire support for troops landing on the shore and, if necessary, rescue operations at sea. Unlike the "land" helicopter, the "sea" helicopter carries powerful anti-ship cruise missiles.
