Syrians turned Ka-28 into a bomber

Syrian air forces continue bombing terrorist targets using Ka-28 helicopters (an export version of the Ka-27), reports Messenger of Mordovia.

“This is not the first time that Ka-28 helicopters have been used against ground targets. Apparently, this is due to a gradual decrease in the shock park of the Syrians aviation. The Ka-28 can carry 250 kg bombs, ”writes Roman Katkov, the author of the publication, citing military expert Yuri Lyamin.

According to the agency, now the Syrian air force is operating 4 such helicopters. The weight of the machine can reach 12-ti, the mass of the transported load - 4t (or 5t - on the suspension). Speed ​​- up to 290 km / h, combat radius - 200 km.

“Although Ka-28 is used for strikes against ground targets, as they say, not from a good life, these helicopters are coping with new tasks quite successfully,” the author concludes.

Goal for fiction is cunning)
But seriously, sometimes our equipment is able to do something that even the designers themselves did not expect)))

[Thunderbolt]

these helicopters cope quite successfully with new tasks for themselves, ”the author concludes

Well, yes. Everything ingenious is simple .... Only this success can end sadly. They are not sharpened for such attacks, although everything is possible in a civil war. Even in WWII we used old rarities or, for example, tanks "NI". Everything that stops the enemy will do, and possible sacrifices are made in order to prevent much greater victims. Therefore, such "but pasaran" and fly. And we, too, are not rubber, to fully equip the Syrians with shock equipment.

The bad thing is that there is a lot of noise from Kamovsky. And it is characteristic: pops are clearly audible.

[Thunderbolt]

He would have to chase the boats at his optimum low speed, and not substitute his aluminum bottom under the path of bullets and shells. At least not arrange a carousel in the same area. They identified an important target, threw a little shells so that the militants were not bad immediately after this artillery strike, you can strike from a helicopter. But, BEWARE!

[Iline]

Sad ...
Things are very bad in the ATS, since similar helicopters began to be used in a similar version.
Again, Russia pull everything on itself? In Vietnam and Egypt, this has already passed. And not only. That's just no thanks from these countries. In my opinion, the true meaning of the article is precisely with this. And to discuss whether it is possible to use bombs from this helicopter or not, this is nonsense. You can drop a bomb from an oak tree, no question.

there is an external suspension - it means the constructorA thought about that. Syrians well done - something is missing, they are starting to use another technique, so to speak REPLACEMENT !!!

So the designer thought about that. Syrians well done

Why banter? Constructor (singular), constructors (plural). After all, they themselves wrote in the future "Well done Syrians."

[nik-karata]

Thanks, corrected!

I completely agree with you. But I ask you, respect the Russian language - there is no word constructor, there is a word constructorы.
A designer is not only a children's developmental set of various parts, but also an engineer, or a group of engineers (then "designers"), who (s) create (are) various devices, units, machines, etc.

[Igor V]

But before that, the technologist comes up with a designer task that he (them) to create.

But before that, the technologist comes up with a task for the designer,

Dear, the designer designs "what to do", and the technologist "how to do".

[Laksamana besar]

For lack of a better one, everything is right, everyone fought and fought like that, they adapt and this is normal.

[Spartanez300]

To bomb on a similar technique, courage must be not small.

[andranick]

yeah, no attack aircraft ever.

[Vadim12]

Wondering how they aim? "By eye" or some special sight installed?

[Herman]

It can carry anti-submarine bombs, which means there is a sight.

[klaus16]

There is no sight there. He throws bombs on the boat at the coordinates. For him "Octopus" collects information on buoys. And here, probably by eye, there is no other way.

[Herman]

Definitely not, I read, nothing was said about the sight.

[Black Colonel]

I once read the memories of an Afghan helicopter pilot. So he wrote that on the windshield the helicopter pilots put a mark (determined empirically) and aimed at it. Because the use of a regular sight was unproductive due to the longer time to aim. I don’t remember the type of helicopter, Mi-8 or Mi-24.

These were eights. Hunchback has no glazing below.

By the way, this "machine" can fly "sideways" up to 60 km / h and "back" up to 80 km / h. Stability / controllability is higher than on helicopters of the "Mil" scheme.

Torn off the tongue, but I will continue. This is a great moment to test and advertise EXACTLY ALREADY RUSSIAN equipment. Although there is a difference, the main thing is that we know that it is our NATIVE and we and our children have something to answer in case of aggression, and Russia is not the last ..... eats up without salt.

[gukoyan]

If only there were no cannon artillery ...

[Altona]

If there were An-2, then it would be adapted. Generally risky event. Before the first attack from MANPADS.

[orado]

In the near trunk plane

[RASKAT]

Well done, and probably homemade bombs?

"Hammer in nails with a microscope" (c) - that's what it's called.
