Two prototypes of modernized Ka-52M helicopters sent for testing

Two prototypes of the upgraded Ka-52M helicopters were sent for testing. Work on the new helicopters was completed last year. This was told by the managing director of Arsenyevskaya aviation company "Progress" Yuri Denisenko.

During a visit to AAK "Progress" by the President's Plenipotentiary in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev, Denisenko showed the working capacity of the enterprise and spoke about the program for creating an upgraded version of the Ka-52M helicopter.



According to him, the company has manufactured two prototypes of the Ka-52M, they have already been sent to the Mil and Kamov National Helicopter Building Center, where they are undergoing scheduled tests.

(...) the planned completion date for development work is 2022. We meet this deadline, and taking into account the duration of the production cycle, we are ready to start assembling Ka-52M helicopters now in order to ensure the first deliveries of serial vehicles next year.

- said Denisenko.

In the middle of last year, Russian Helicopters reported that the revision of production vehicles into a modernized version should be completed by the end of 2020. This will be followed by preliminary flight and joint state tests. In the course of modernization, the helicopter will receive new onboard systems: navigation, sighting, fire control and communication systems, as well as new weapons unified with the Mi-28NM, armoring and an onboard defense system. At the same time, the car will retain the previous airframe, but will acquire additional fuel tanks.

The KA-52M test program should be completed in September 2022. In total, it is planned to get into service with 114 modernized helicopters.

    Well, the majority for 28 drowns in every possible way ..... talking about the fact that Ka is generally stupid. I still think that two KB Mig and Su and also Mi Ka are optimal. Although all sorts of unions happened .... let's see what happens. And the main thing is that unification is underway.

          At the back there is a stabilizing screw.
          With a coaxial scheme, there is no need for it.
          Moreover, the coaxial scheme has proven itself more reliably in stormy conditions, which is why it is at sea.
          Different machines, different tasks.
          Whether they can overlap remains a question.
          I think these issues are being resolved now.

                  The coaxial scheme is enough to develop speed, and in any direction. There, in my opinion, there are even speed records.

                    Just, the scheme with one rotor is faster and more maneuverable. The air resistance is less and the overlap of the blades is excluded.

                    The high-speed helicopter does not have a swashplate. Therefore, rectilinear movement can be carried out only at the expense of an additional propeller: a pushing screw. Or a pair of pulling ones. The swashplate is eliminated because a skewed propeller will create tremendous drag when chanting forward at high speeds.
                    The rear propeller does not extinguish the carriers, they work in different planes, just as the propeller and aircraft wings do not extinguish each other.

          This is not enough. It is necessary to remove the machine distortions and change the shape of the rotor blades.

        "At Hitler's headquarters, everyone is not very cold .." Even Mil, creating a 24-ku, took care of the maximum possible use of the Mi-8 units on the new machine.
        Helicopter squadrons and regiments are overwhelmingly mixed.
        Transport and shock. Even the idea of ​​the Mi-28 (not to mention the Ka-52) against the background of the existing pair of Mi-24 - Mi-8MT now looks controversial. Not a damn thing came out of these machines. As there was a glider with characteristics 40 years ago, it is. Only the assortment was blinded to the misfortune of supply, operation and training. Modification of 24's weapons and equipment would bring the same result for much less money.

          Why are you dissatisfied with the characteristics of a 40-year-old glider? There are such combat vehicles, whose characteristics suit the military even after 50 years. For example B-52 and Tu-95. Their gliders are even older. A high-speed helicopter is an exotic thing, for which it is not yet known whether there will be any application in the armies at all.

Or do you all have a short memory? So calm down your laughs, the author of the comment is right - most of the shirts here for the 28th tore.

          The Su-57, especially the second stage, is the future of the VKS, in which a lot of time and money was invested. A new generation with fundamentally different capabilities in speed, aerodynamics, AFAR, new weapons. New generation multifunctional. The Su-34M is a modernized version of the Su-34 fighter-bomber that passed through Syria. The MiG-35 / MiG-35D is perfect for the role of a relatively inexpensive workhorse, a massive multi-functional front-line fighter. It is desirable in combination with AFAR. What else do we need with regards to fighters? Well, except that we need a new interceptor MiG-41. The Mi-28NM / Ka-52M can be produced in equal shares of the production of attack helicopters. But I'm still closer to the Ka-52. It is more maneuverable, more promising, again there is an option for the fleet. But this is my personal opinion.

            KB Kamov does not have the potential to develop its car. I have already said that the Kamovites had radar SIGNIFICANTLY earlier than the Milians. So what? Was it used somehow? Not. But the radar station is the potential for new weapons. And if there is no independent development, then the end result is always two identical helicopters, but with a different scheme. At the same time, the Mi-28 has new weapon systems created as part of a single program with the helicopter's PNK, they develop in parallel, while the Ka-52 is "screwed from above". As a result, for example, Shturm-V works worse for Kamovites.
            The maneuverability of the KA-52 is, of course, beautiful. But the Mi-28 is also not a log with a screw, and Nesterov's loop is twisting. The vehicles have similar maneuvers, and with the installation of the radar, the target detection line is moved from 7-5 to 18-20 km. What does increased maneuverability decide in this case?

            You like the Ka-52 - your right, the car is really beautiful. But in battle, it's not beauty that decides, but the thoughtfulness of a complex solution. Unfortunately, the Ka-50 could not boast of this decision. And the Ka-52 does not actually develop independently.

        Don't worry too much about Mil school. Milev cars are actively sold all over the world. But the Kamovs - alas and ah. It was for the sake of preserving the Kamov school, which was on the brink due to the lack of large series, that the Ka-50 was admitted to the competition.
        And MI-28N is not being bought for the sake of preserving the school. But because only he is a truly combat vehicle, whose concept was created on the basis of combat experience. Unlike the Ka-50, whose concept was created solely with the aim of surprising the bosses.

          Well, if you believe the information in net, the Ka-50 won this competition by a large margin. And then some kind of mouse fuss began and it turned out that the Mi-28 also won.
          There was information that the Ka-50 and Ka-52 were supposed to fight together:
          a pair of Ka-50s as attack aircraft and their actions are corrected and directed by a machine that sees further and has a special person for data processing - the Ka-52. But they did not understand how.
          But I am a supporter that all three helicopters were in the army. Practice will show which of these is the most viable.

          the bottom line is that the t-90m is now interesting primarily as a project for the modernization of the existing t-90.
          it is impractical to build new ones, while leaving the operated 72s at the level of the 80s - 90s.
          therefore, two main directions in updating the tank fleet are upgrading to the level of t-72b3 and t-90m
