Source: Ka-52 could fall in Moscow due to a defect in the rotor

The cause of the spontaneous rotation of the Ka-52 military helicopter and its fall in the Moscow Zhulebino 29 of October could be the destruction of parts in the rotor control system, an informed source said on Tuesday.

According to him, it has already been established that one of the rockers of the upper rotor control system has collapsed, Interfax reports. Meanwhile, in the Moscow Interregional Investigation Department of Transport of the RF IC, they warned against early allegations about the causes of the crash of the Ka-52.

“The investigation of the incident is not yet completed, therefore, it is premature to talk about any reasons for what happened,” a source told RIA “News».

Note that the black box entries were decrypted on October 31.

The Ka-52 helicopter fell and caught fire on October 29 on 15.40 on Privolnaya Street in the Moscow region of Zhulebino. The fire that broke out due to the explosion of the fuel tanks was quickly extinguished. Two pilots were injured who took the helicopter from the houses. One of them was able to leave the car on his own, and the other was helped by emergency services.

A criminal case of violation of safety rules. The Russian Defense Ministry suffered damage in 800 million rubles.

Two versions of the accident are considered: equipment failure and piloting error. Meanwhile, the honored pilot of Russia Vadim Bazykin said that the cause of the fall of the Ka-52 could be the failure of the rotor column.

Ka-52 - Russian attack helicopter. The machine can hit armored and unarmored vehicles, manpower and aerial targets on the battlefield. It represents a further development of the Ka-50 “Black Shark” model.

And most importantly, in such cases, they consider money, but people do. So I am silent, otherwise one mat further.

or maybe we’ll go to a fortuneteller, wait for the official version

Pilots have long complained about many shortcomings in this helicopter ... Need to upgrade ..

This coaxial scheme never worked well and has been tortured with it to this day. The Ka helicopters are like sick children: the nose has healed, the stomach hurts, the stomach is healed, the head hurts and there is no end to this until they are removed from service. How much and what else is there to upgrade? The money has been planted, the labor of people has been expended, the pilots are crippled, but it is necessary to give up this type of cars for a long time.

Ka50 and Ka52 have one defect for two: they exceeded the speed a little and went into the left U-turn with a decrease (military U-turn) there is a classic collapse of the screws, i.e. the lower screw blades hit the upper one, the result is one ... How many more cars and people have to break so that the design bureau understands that the coaxial system for military vehicles is not suitable.

To prevent such moments, flight restrictions are introduced. In the coaxial scheme, there are more pluses than minuses.

When I drew attention to the quality of the parts, some of my minuses stuck, so who was right? All these market relations in Russia are a direct threat to its security.

destruction of the part

Have flashed a defect means. I can roughly imagine HOW control is being carried out in the aviation industry, and therefore to me, personally, this circumstance is especially surprising. I do not envy in this case the one who controlled the destroyed part. Calculated instantly.

Well, if the helicopter really spontaneously rotated, then the connection between the transmission of the screws, which usually rotate at the same speed of rotation, was broken. Or a defect in the system responsible for turns (around its axis), probably stuck it on a turn and the screws lost speed.
