Ka-50 is a new high-tech helicopter gunship developed by Russia, nicknamed "gimmick".
It was unveiled to create three world firsts: the first armed helicopter with ejection rescue system into service; the first single-seat armed helicopter; the first **** axis rotor armed helicopter. The overall design of the Ka-50 is advanced, with *** axial rotor blades, installed with K-37 ejection seats, very good maneuverability, and very high system safety, which can safely eject the pilot at any altitude. The aircraft's attack firepower is very strong, with four under-wing mounts that can carry 16 laser-guided Tornado anti-tank missiles, and four sets of 80mm C-8M air-to-ground rockets*** 80, and a limited-rotation turret on the right side of the nose. There is also a limited rotation turret on the right side of the nose. Because the Ka-50 is equipped with this type of gun, its accuracy in hitting targets far exceeds that of the U.S. Apache. It is the only helicopter gunship in the world today that can match the U.S. Apache, like a hanging sword of Damocles, making "Uncle Sam" afraid.
Shortly after the Ka-50's public debut, the Ka-52 and Ka-50H were launched. The Ka-52 changed from a single-seat design to a twin-seat one. The Russians also dressed up the first prototype, giving it a black coat and painting a repulsive image on its fuselage, which was later named the "Crocodile" by the Russians.
The Ka-52's targeting and detection systems are more advanced, with optical and television systems for daytime use, thermal and infrared detectors for nighttime use, and a radar system that can reconnoiter targets on its own during instrument-controlled flights in complex weather conditions. Card-52 weapon system is also very advanced, in addition to the weapons of the card-50, but also equipped with P-73 and needle-B close combat "air-to-air" missiles, and can be equipped with the "air-to-ground" missiles. "The K-52 is also equipped with P-73 and Needle-B close combat air-to-air missiles, and can be equipped with air-to-ground missiles.
The Ka-52 also has a number of new capabilities, including a laser rangefinder and illuminator that can guide missiles not only for itself but also for other helicopters and fighters. The Ka-52's infrared and target-detection system is also very powerful, and both ground and airborne targets are "visible" to this system.
The Ka-50H is the best of its generation
The improved Ka-52 is still not the "efficient" helicopter gunship that the Russians had in mind. Therefore, the Ka-52 was not the last model that the Russians wanted, and they wanted the Ka-50 to be better equipped for night operations. So, Russian specialists thought "differently" and improved on the Ka-50, and soon another brother of the Ka-50, the Ka-50H, was born, named Gray Wolf. Gray Wolf".
The biggest difference between the KA-50H and the KA-50 was that the KA-50H was fitted with a rotor spindle sight and a spherical pod, and in order to adapt to the needs of night fighting and poor weather conditions, the KA-50H was also fitted with a microlight television system and a forward-looking infrared search system. In order to meet the needs of night fighting and bad weather, the Ka-50H is also equipped with a microlight television system and a forward-looking infrared search system. The microlight system provides an approximation of the actual target graphics, and the forward-looking infrared search system can get their thermal image signals, and with these systems to find and search for the target is unmatched by radar.
The Ka-50H is even better for missile use, allowing the Tornado to be launched day and night, and to operate in all types of weather conditions. With the introduction of the Ka-50H, the Kamov Design Bureau finally realized a dream in the development of a new generation of helicopters.
