Taking into account the Syrian experience: features of the Ka-52M "Super Alligator" helicopter

The Russian Ministry of Defense intends this year to sign a contract for the supply of 114 Ka-52 helicopters in a modernized version of the Ka-52M. An enterprise has already been identified that will be engaged in the production of a new version of the Alligator - the Arsenyevsky Progress aircraft plant in Primorye, but production will begin no earlier than 2023, since the end of the Ka-52M tests is scheduled for the end of 2022.

The creation of a new version of the Ka-52 helicopter became known in 2018. According to the CEO of Russian Helicopters Holding Andrei Boginsky, the Ministry of Defense, having studied the experience of using helicopters in combat conditions in the Syrian Arab Republic, set the designers to create a modernized version that would take into account the proposals of the flight and engineering personnel participating in the battles.

As you know, tests of the new version of the Ka-52M Super Alligator helicopter began back in 2019, and a phased plan was drawn up to test new on-board systems and weapons of the modernized helicopter. According to the plans of the developers and the military, state testing of the machine should end in December 2022, after which their mass production will begin. In total, it is planned to receive 114 Ka-52M helicopters.

As previously repeatedly reported, unlike its predecessor Ka-52 helicopter, the modernized Ka-52M "Super Alligator"
received enhanced armor and a new airborne defense system that protects the machine from anti-aircraft missiles. Armament was unified with another rotorcraft - Mi-28NM. The Ka-52M arsenal will include long-range Hermes-A missiles, guided by Vikhr-M anti-tank missiles, as well as Product 305 - aviation cruise missile with a range of up to 100 km.

To use the new missiles, the GOES-451 multi-channel sighting system will undergo a deep modernization, allowing the use of weapons at any time of the day or in any weather. In addition, the helicopter will receive a new radar with AFAR, a new avionics of the cockpit and improved power supply. The changes will also affect the screw group.

And finally, the helicopter will be able to automatically receive data from the Sagittarius reconnaissance, command and communications complex, which will allow for real-time information about the combat situation on the ground and likely targets.

Which helicopter will turn out in the end, it will be clear after comprehensive testing of the modernized machine. Whether it will be better or worse than Western-made helicopters - time will tell. To compare modern combat helicopters, and not only them, is a thankless task. But now we can say that according to the declared characteristics, especially weapons, the Ka-52M, at least, will not be inferior to modern Western models of combat helicopters. It is possible that the modernized version of the Ka-52M will attract more attention not only of the Russian army, but also of foreign customers, and will not be limited, like the base Ka-52, to Egypt alone.

Why forgive the helicopter for a missile with a range of 100km? If the launch is outside the air defense zone, it is easier to install equipment and launchers for missiles on the AN-26. The flight hour is cheaper, the time of barrage is longer.

Why do the RF Armed Forces two combat helicopters at the same time?
In June 2019, information appeared that the Ministry of Defense plans to purchase 2027 upgraded helicopters of the Mi-98NM version by 28. In service with 96 units of Mi-28N and 12 Mi-28UB
on 2020 year.
KA-52 - 129 units in the troops for 2020.
Contract for the supply of new version of the KA-52M to the troops.
The competition between Kamov and Mil is certainly not bad, but the costs
It is 2 times more expensive to manufacture and service two models at once.
By the way, they also produce MI-35 ...
The contract for the supply of the Russian Air Force 22 Mi-35M (Mi-24VM) helicopters was signed in 2010, and another contract for 27 aircraft was later signed for delivery in 2012-2014.
Pros from the Air Force, who in the subject, what do you think about this?

[sgrabik]

You don’t have to put everything in one pile, all these machines are different in their specifics, the Mi-35 is not only a fire support helicopter, but also a landing helicopter, it can take on board up to 8 landing personnel with full combat equipment, and the Mi-28 adapted for operations in the sea zone and on ships, a purely coaxial rotor scheme is needed here as on the Ka-52, since a long and stable hovering above water with a strong gusty wind can only ensure it, the Mi-28 with some modernization will become the fastest and the most maneuverable attack helicopter m of Russian production, so all these three cars are necessary and they will not replace one another !!!

[3danimal]

SH-60 flies beautifully "at sea", Italy, France, Britain also have single-rotor marine helicopters
Mi-8 will throw more troops.

[EvilLion]

Mi-35 is a cheaper plug, apparently, to cover up problems with the Mi-28.

[5-9]

For the same, why and a bunch of different Dryers .... What plants can do, then they order. From production opportunities dance

[sgrabik]

Do not grind rubbish, the factories do what customers in the person of Moscow Region or foreign customers order, and not just what they can, we have the opportunity to produce any modern equipment, if only there would be stable financing !!!

[5-9]

Come on .... Any aircraft factory can do any plane? Those. In addition to the Su-30SM, the Moscow Region consciously wanted the Su-30M2 as well? Your options for the simultaneous production of as many as two 30s?
You think that as you took out the loot from your pocket, you were immediately touched by planes and helicopters as much as you want? Last year 20 did, but in this dough more and 200 can do?

For greater clarity, the insolvency approach.
Lockheed is building new plants to create the necessary (additional) production capacities.
We have all united in the UAC, what prevents us from choosing the right projects for each direction?
And let Kamov make an attack helicopter, Miles an advanced replacement for the Mi-8, the cargo Mi-26 is good for him. So that the technique does not duplicate each other.
Damn, if rich Americans are trying to save on logistics, then we all the more need.

[5-9]

We have 2 helicopter plants, one makes Ka52, the other Mi28 ... Do on the first Mi, and on the second Ka nipaluhitstsa. Close one plant what for offer? So the second and its allies to do 2 times more is not a fact that they can .... And if the threatened period and it will be necessary to significantly increase output?
You tell me how it should be in an ideal world, but I, as we have, and why we need a drummer 3

[3danimal]

The one that makes Mi- load military transporters and heavy trucks. Let the civilian market produce cars.
Ka - produces drums of different versions (M and K). An analogue is Boeing (Apache) and Sikorsky (UH-60 / SH-60 ..).

Mi-35 is a specific niche machine.
And Mi-28 and Ka-52 are bought simply because Solomon’s decision was made to support two design bureaus and a factory at once.

[3danimal]

Kamov has no analogue of the Mi-8, but Mil can be given an order to create a replacement for the GXNUMX. A decision made by people who are used to squandering not their money.
Mi-35 ... World practice has shown that the “flying BMP” is an erroneous concept. We must admit this, to sell to everyone, to produce something more useful with the proceeds.

Then, that we have in stock two well-established production facilities. And, in certain conditions (when used from limited sites, ships), the Ka-52 is better, the Mi-28, true, has its advantages. You can use helicopters on ships not coaxial, but the classical scheme. Of course you can, but for a cow, as you know, a bull is better than a daddy's father, although dad could.
If Kamov Design Bureau and the plant were not available, then only Mi helicopters would be used. So, now, to save one production, eliminate?
It is unlikely that anything will be saved. but much can be fooled. Moreover, for sure, many of the nodes and assemblies of our helicopters, including engines and weapons are unified, which, to a large extent, removes issues of maintenance and repair.

[3danimal]

Incorrect reasoning logic. One must give orders for attack helicopters, and the other for military transport vehicles. Ideally, its analogue wagon UH-60.
The world is full of examples of such a distribution.

“Why would the RF Armed Forces have two combat helicopters at the same time?” - then, on the battlefield (and in practice) to study two different areas of science in helicopter engineering. And evaluate them in practice (by touching them with your hands), and not in theory (on paper), based on calculations.
"maintenance of two models at once is 2 times more expensive." - the cheapest is to buy (for every war) a spear shield and a sword, and let them go to protect the Motherland, IN SPITE OF ANYTHING .... YES ?!

Why do the RF Armed Forces two combat helicopters at the same time?

Then, by the time it was no longer possible to delay the adoption of an attack helicopter, only the Mi-28N was ready for production. The Ka-50 remained the same "bold technical solution" and nothing more. No matter how the Kamovites fought, the very concept of a single-seat attack helicopter turned out to be vicious. Even at the training ground, their car could not fight.
Moreover, the weapon system turned out to be a failure. ATGM Whirlwind turned out to be highly specialized, was not used in the troops, and still did not master in the series.
The Kamov lobby among the military could once again postpone the decision for 5-7 years, as it did before, but then it was already clear to everyone: nothing but a "coaxial Mi-28" would come of the Kamovites. He did it. A two-seater attack helicopter with weapons from the Mi-28, identical to the "night hunter" in terms of combat capabilities. In some ways better, in some ways worse.
One helicopter could be adopted. But if it were Ka, (then already 52) then the troops would have remained without a combat vehicle for an indefinite period. And if MI-28N then this meant the death of Kamov Design Bureau with their coaxial design. Since, even in the USSR, he had a huge problem with the series. And after the 90s, he simply had no other working projects. The second option was fundamentally wrong. And the first did not irrevocably suit the military. After all, not all the generals were engaged by Kamovites, there were those who looked at things objectively.
Therefore, 2 helicopters.

But even this is not the main thing. Ka-52 is a ship-based helicopter, our new landing ships will definitely have them on board, and here such a "load" at the "pebble" will not be superfluous.

The chance is very illusive.

[nov_tech.vrn]

Reference quote:
It is not for nothing that the Mi-24 helicopter has been nicknamed "flying tank" or "crocodile". This is the first Soviet specialized combat helicopter. Before him, only the Americans (AN-1 Cobra) had helicopters of this type. "Crocodile" has flown since 1971. I have been to Afghanistan, Chechnya, and indeed many other places. The governments of many countries bought it for their armies.

The government of Iraq was no exception. In 1980, a conflict began in the Persian Gulf between Iran and Iraq. In October 1984, an Iranian pilot on an F-4 spotted a Mi-24 helicopter from the Iraqi Air Force. In general, the Mi-24 was not the target of an Iranian aircraft. He was supposed to hit Iraqi radars.

But since the opportunity presented itself, he decided that this was a chance to earn another star on the fuselage of his American fighter. The Mi-24 was at low altitude and the F-4 caught him in the sight of his 20 mm Vulcan gun.

However, the Mi-24 pilot noticed the enemy. The F-4 was on its tail. The first approach of the fighter was unsuccessful. In order not to give the enemy a second chance, the Mi-24 pilot pulled up the nose of the helicopter and fired all S-4 missile ammunition toward the F-5 plane. One of them reached the goal.

The Iraqi newspaper Baghdad Observer (an article from 1984) immediately wrote about the brilliant victory of the helicopter over the plane. The Zvezda channel wrote about the same victory on its website (article dated 17.10.2015/XNUMX/XNUMX).

And there they just mixed everything together. In recent publications, the "product 305" range was called 25 km, which is quite adequate for a modern helicopter ATGM or multipurpose missile. while claiming that it is "Hermes-A". Now apparently the thought has been "rethought". And it is still very difficult to judge the real characteristics and even the real range of weapons from these reports.

The machine in 2023 will correspond to the western machines of 2020, is Boginsky said, or who else?

Well, we’re unlikely to find a freshwater tooth, a domestic representative. From foreign - cayman!
And if you look for the logical content of the background - the ancestor of the Ka-50 was called the “Black Shark”! In NATO he was called - Werewolf. So - there is an opportunity to search for something deadly in the depths of the ocean or shaggy and toothy in the forests of our fauna!
To be honest, Anglicanism in the form of the prefix “super” really jars! It’s more interesting either the Russian “improved”, “updated”, or the French “encore” in the model number! Although what to fence "letters" - M, U or A is enough !!!
Although you can "pisanutsya" adding to the name "formidable", "new" or the word "over"! Our language is rich, although humor and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, unlike the Ministry of Defense of the USSR, were not near (remember the flower series - Cornflower, Acacia, Tulip, etc.). I still regret that instead of Poseidon the popular "Nezhdanchik" did not slip !!!
So the name “Cat of the Skripals” will make someone crush a smile, and if on every second shell a “newcomer” is engraved!

it is not Anglicanism but Latinism. the prefix Super comes from Latin and means "above, above"
and the alligator and crocodile and caiman are families of the crocodile order. they are different and not different names for the same animal. I give the floor to the veterinarian

In NATO, the Ka-50 helicopter in full accordance with the Alliance's codification system (fighters get names with the letter F from fighter, for example MiG-25 Foxbat, transporters with the letter C from cargo, bombers with the letter B, etc.) was called Hokum-A .

There is such an option. Only this is a motor of a different dimension (TV7-117VK) and they will never be in weight and size TV3-117. As necessary, helicopters will be modified for them. The only question is the feasibility of such an increase in power and price.

Mi-8 on two TV3-117 can carry 4,5 tons of cargo. What do you plan to attach to the Ka-52, so that he does not have two VK-2500? Two TV7-117 is not only additional nonsense, but also a ton of the weight of an empty helicopter, which you must always carry with you. Every day of operation. To realize the power you will have to redo the gearbox and main rotor. This is also weight and money. And the money is not one-time when buying, but daily in fuel consumption and maintenance.

Completely agree. Especially freezes "creative" -sound with cretin. Chem nah, do not like Creative-honesty? Creator?

[Klingon]

what you listed is slang from the computer ... oh sorry, from games on computers with silicon elements (lat.) inside ....- give a primitive answer to the tambourine. this is not an option and will in no way help. and an example should be taken from the French because they really do not like Englishism, because they have an Ordenateur computer, moreover, at the legislative level and much more. But the barrier, floor lamp, chandelier and so on. you won’t beat the tambourine out of the Russian language, you’ve integrated too deeply (integration, and emigration, evolution, revolution, by the way, Latin terms )
I hope you Tajiks working at construction sites and so on are not guest workers (Gast-guest, Arbeiter - worker, German) call? or hit a tambourine?
you pulled sandwiches here so this is a specific sandwich (hoo Butter - butter, Brot - bread, German), which was invented by Sir Sandwich, cutting a bun in half and inserting a sausage inside so as not to get dirty with sauce. And God forbid, call your favorite salad by the name of a Belgian cook (Olivier). you can go on ad infinitum, or we will pick up Russian analogues (lat), equivalents (lat.) ..http: //www.naturalnews.com> where is the original Russian words ???

[Whirlwind]

"Superpuper" is not about us.
In the Kamov Design Bureau of Mikheev, who created the Ka-50, this unsurpassed machine was called nothing more than a Paw!
Hence, one must dance to the name Ka-52; Paw, Laponka, Lapula ... From this in our opinion!

[5-9]

Does Mi-28NM have a Whirlwind ?? Have they finally learned to make them non-rejected?
Hermes is there in reality?
And what are these western combat helicopters? He alone is Apache. Super Cobra lives out like Mi 24/35 ..... I hope no one considers the misunderstanding in the person of the Tiger a combat helicopter?

Stupidity. Come on, start producing something, well. for example, slingshots. And arm, because there is nothing else. There is simply no other production. Have you tried on a situation? There will be many orders, from the army, of course.

It's not good to call a bird a tiger. It seems like he is not in place. His business is land. Affectionate names of birds, as many as you like. Maybe we'll go there?

Such a terrible one. As you look and want to crap. Even on earth. And under the volley to get scared to think.

there is a tasty fish - whitefish, its on Kolyma fishermen - the name is Seryuk. this is because when you take it in your hand, Kakakha climbs out of F. so can attach a name?

An interesting comparative article from an aviation site. According to the high syllable and the analysis of flights, you understand that it is not the infantryman-gunner who writes, nor the paratrooper-tanker. And the conclusions are clearly not in favor of the Mi-28 BUT, and not in favor of the Government.

Sorry, but from the article a mile away is the Kamov PR department. The coaxial scheme has advantages, everyone knows about it. It was for the sake of its preservation that the Ka-52 was admitted to the series, otherwise the design bureau would simply die.
But these benefits are not absolute. Yes, no tail boom. But the most complex swashplate. And restrictions on maneuvering due to the danger of overlapping screws. I can continue to argue, but that's not the point. A helicopter is not a propeller pattern. It's a complex. All together, and propellers and motors and armor and weapons and sights, everything. So in the aggregate of this whole case, the Ka-52 is not a ready-made combat vehicle, but still "danced".
The author of the blog you quoted is clearly not an "infantryman-artilleryman, and not a paratrooper-tanker." He is a clerk. A banal clerk masquerading as an expert.
Here for example:

When flying at low altitudes (the main flights in Syria), the helicopter becomes a good target for small arms. For example, when firing a machine gun at hv. beam - the tail rotor control is interrupted, and the beam itself, with minor damage, can break off altogether, because in flight the thrust hv. the screw creates large: a) The moment on the KIND; b) The moment of twisting and + c) The moment of kink from its own weight and weight xv. screw!

Here a piece of objective data is wrapped in two layers of bullshit. Anyone who even has a glimpse of the Mi-28N keel beam diagram understands perfectly well that when shooting at it with an automatic machine, it is simply not realistic to interrupt the screw control. Moreover, the shaft itself is the strongest steel shaft, occupying an insignificant volume of the beam. Try to get into them first, and if you hit, damage the steel shaft with a lead bullet.
And the phrase that a beam can break off in case of "minor damage" is generally a bullshit.

[EvilLion]

But the 23-30 mm shell will interrupt. You can also touch the tail rotor blade.

About the "most complicated" swashplate on the nipple - this is to the doctor. There is nothing fundamentally different from the classics. As for the overlap of the screws, the classic chops the tail boom with screws just as often. Moreover, the Ka-52 began to enter the first in 2008. Since then, not a single helicopter has been lost due to skewing, the Mi-28 beats more often, moreover, its vaunted rescue system turned out to be zilch, the pilot only has more chances to burn out in the car after a fall.

And 20-30 mm in the swashplate or in the Ka-52 gearbox, how's that for you? And in the Ka-52 rotor blades of the same caliber? Two unbalanced swings rotating towards each other - is that good in your opinion?

Yes of course. A wheel from a bicycle is also fundamentally no different from a cart. And the processor is the same transistors, only small and many. Yeah. :)

Moreover, the Ka-52 began to arrive back in 2008, the first. Since then, not a single helicopter has been lost due to skew

Not skew, but overlap. They simply imposed restrictions on maneuvering, and therefore did not fight.

They fly more. Since 2006

Yeah, yeah. The catch is the truth is that both systems work according to the same algorithm. :) And they were created by the same SPE "Zvezda". And in 2 of the three Ka-52 accidents, the crews were killed, so in your logic, its "vaunted rescue system turned out to be a nut".

[CBR600]

... a lead bullet. Oh yes. And overlap. We need to somehow argue further, after all.
__ ATP for the article, I found out for myself that the Kamovites and the device itself have not been given a new engine for 15 years and will not be given a hike.

[shoroh]

Yes, of course, the main emphasis was placed on defense - increasing armor to protect against riflemen and small-caliber artillery, and probably station jamming against MANPADS, well, some other means of counteraction. As for the missiles with a range of 100 km, it is not surprising that everything goes towards unification, and it is clear that this is not the main weapon of the helicopter. In armament, Hermes and Whirlwind are quite good missiles. Radar with AFAR for a helicopter is very cool. Well, it remains to build a helicopter carrier for this machine

Why do the RF Armed Forces two combat helicopters at the same time?

By the way, they also produce MI-35 ...

Everyone wants orders, everyone wants kickbacks. Everyone earns. This is a matter of personal financial interests, not smart weapons planning.

[abc_alex]

The Ka-52M arsenal will include Hermes-A long-range missiles, Vikhr-M guided anti-tank missiles, as well as Product 305, an aircraft cruise missile with a range of up to 100 km.

Hermes and Whirlwind series no. And will not be. The unification of weapons under the Mi-28, therefore, passed because the Kamovtsy initially relied on the wrong weapons bureau.
There will be no missile with a launch range of 100 km. That's bullshit. At such a distance, the helicopter cannot even aim at the radar.

[EvilLion]

Really? And what then began to be purchased from the Izhevsk plant several years ago?

Shotguns? Pistols? :)
There is no Whirlwind or Hermes in the series. The last who tried to launch the Whirlwind series is the Kalashnikov concern. And really nothing happened. The only contract of 2013 was disrupted, instead of 2015 it was barely fulfilled in 2016. I did not see reliable data on the new order of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and deliveries. Ka-52 flies with Sturm. 2000 missiles for 100+ Ka-52 helicopters is not a series, it is for one load.

A missile with a range of 100 km can theoretically be suspended, although such a missile has much greater energy from an airplane

Theoretically, you can even hang an RSMD rocket on a helicopter, how can it aim at it?

[EvilLion]

It is theoretically possible to suspend a missile with a range of 100 km, although such a missile has much greater energy from an airplane. How to direct it from a low-altitude vehicle with a low-power radar by the standards of fighters?
