"Alligators" "flood" the world sky


The Russian media reported that to the 75 anniversary of the Primorsky plant Progress, this enterprise was given a unique gift in the form of a large order for the production of Ka-52 helicopters, which have another name, Alligator, in the amount of 140 pieces. Today, there are just 12 units in the world. As the director of the World Trade Analysis Center reported earlier weapons (TSAMTO) Igor Korotchenko, the Ministry of Defense plans to purchase some 9 (!) Copies of the latest helicopter technology over the next 10-1000 years. Such a contract can be considered the largest for the whole history modern Russia.

The management of the Progress plant, located in the city of Arsenyev and belonging to the association Helicopters of Russia, believes that this promising work will have a very positive effect on the development of not only the plant itself, but also the economic potential of the whole of Primorye. Today, the situation at the enterprise is still far from ideal due to the instability of orders. However, the new contract will allow not only to return to the workplaces of many specialists who were forced to go on unpaid leave, but also to increase the number of full-time units of designers, assemblers and technical staff. Representatives of AAK Progress declare that the production base of the enterprise allows implementing such a large project. By the way, it should be noted that new helicopters will be produced not only for the needs of the domestic defense industry, but also for foreign armies. So, for the same 9-10 years, it is planned to deliver about 1150 screw machines of a new generation abroad.

Why is it that not only the Russian, but also other armies of the world are interested in purchasing such helicopters as the Alligator? There are several reasons for this. First, domestic development has undergone a significant upgrade compared with the previous version of the Ka-50 helicopter. Now on board the Ka-52 installed the latest means of navigation and targeting shells and missiles at the target. The helicopter can be controlled by two pilots thanks to a duplicated vehicle guidance system. The helicopter can strike at armored vehicles and enemy personnel on the ground with air-to-surface weapons. In addition, the "Alligator" can perfectly cope with the task of destroying low-speed air targets using the air-to-air complex. The Ka-52 is equipped with an integrative communications system, which allows crews of several helicopters to conduct coordinated actions to detect and destroy the enemy. The helicopter body is made of composite materials, which will give the Ka-52 structure durability.

Ka-52 replaced the previous modification of the helicopter series "Kamov" - "Black Shark". Despite the large list of advantages of the Alligator, most of which relate to the crew informatization system and the use of digital means of operation, this helicopter still has its drawbacks. The developers say that they are going to find a constructive solution in order to raise the statistical and dynamic “ceilings” that “fell” after weighting the car to 10,4 tons. In addition, engineers will have to solve the problem of improving flight performance, which also decreased compared to the Ka-50 version. However, representatives of the Progress plant do not consider these flaws fatal and are ready to eliminate them as soon as possible.

The combat helicopter went through a full cycle of State tests, on the basis of which the vehicle was given an extremely positive assessment. According to the pilots who participated in the “run-in” of the “Alligator”, the helicopter perfectly obeys the commands. Moreover, his Whirlwind long-range guns, Hermes-A all-weather ATGM and Chrysanthemum multi-purpose complexes make the car really frightening for any armored complexes on the ground.

In addition to the Ka-52, other helicopters should also come to the troops: these are heavy Mi-26Ts, training Ansat helicopters and combat Mi-28s. Do not forget to purchasers and reliable "osmushki" - transport Mi-8.

Let's hope that the contract for the supply of "Alligators" in the Russian Air Force will be implemented in full.

        I will add - just for fun - as many people know, the marine versions of the Ka 52 will be based on all 4 Mistrals.

        At the same time, I was pleasantly surprised to read that an anti-ship version of the Ka 52 is also planned. These are the Uran anti-ship missiles with a range of up to 260 km for the new modifications and anti-radar missiles with a range of up to 150 km

        That is, the Mistrals will have a "long arm" that will hit more than 500 km and give them the advantage of a mini-aircraft carrier over conventional enemy ships
        Much has been said about the need to cover the Mistral with frigates, etc. - but apparently the Mistral himself with such equipment will be able to strike at the enemy’s fleet without entering the Harpunov’s defeat zone.

          Cover frigates are needed primarily not for attacks on enemy ships, but for the Mistral air defense.

      The current remains to be hoped for ... honestly ... it would be nice ... 10 helicopters in 1000 years ... Although it's still small ... more helicopters would be needed in the troops ... pleased ... And then with the planes in general a pipe ... an hour a teaspoon is produced ... they only shout about plans ... for 5 years there has been a lot of screaming ... but in fact ... .. "... in 2011 the Ministry of Defense of Russia will receive from the industry at least 28 aircraft (two Su-35S, six Su-34, eight Su-27SM3, eight Yak-130, one Tu-214ON, two Tu-154M, one An-140-100) "Source - Independent Military Review

      in 2010, the Russian aviation industry delivered 21 aircraft to the Ministry of Defense of Russia (four Su-34s, four Su-30M2, four Su-27SM3, three MiG-29SMT, four Yak-130, one Il-62M and one Tu-154M ) and 57 helicopters (15 Mi-28N, four Ka-52, four Ansat-U and 34 series Mi-8). In all cases, only production cars were taken into account, without prototyping. Source: Independent Military Review

      Also, the Tu-22MR scout lost from Georgian air defense
      so for now the pace of production is such .... though the UAC leadership swears that we will do more, but it is doubtful .... all the forces seem to be casting civilian liners into production ...

      In the USSR, up to 370 helicopters were produced per year, one per day. Now 100 per year is a good figure, but something tells us that, as always, they will be 40-50 percent behind.

And in 2010, 9 (Nine!) civilian liners were commissioned ..... PPC ... .In 2011, it will not seem like much more ....

      You don’t have to applaud, let alone standing. There is no one to do the machines, so the production results will not change either quantitatively or qualitatively. Those Petrovichs and Mikhalichs who knocked on the head of the youth for an unscrewed bolt have long been retired, and the youngsters who still remained in the factories and who stopped banging on the top of his head, flees amid low salaries. In fact, there were losers in the factories who hold on to a small number of enthusiasts.

      Again, there is no consistency. Here our brigades have been slaughtered, apparently we are going to fight only with the "partisans".
      And for comparison, here is the light (in jest, I want to say easy, but the language does not rise) infantry division of the US Army,
      Fire support helicopters 29
      General purpose helicopters 36
      Reconnaissance helicopters 31
      EW helicopters 3
      Total 99
      We have 45 tank and motorized rifle brigades, we divide 3 brigades into a division for a total of 15 divisions or 1485 helicopters. And in 10 years, we will buy 1000 helicopters for all of them, both the army and the air force and navy and generals, but this is not enough. But there are no reconnaissance helicopters yet at all.

      kagorta is right .... not enough .... amers fly to the toilet by helicopter ... that's for sure. But after all, those turntables that now seem to be not going to be written off en masse ..... So maybe a couple of thousand aircraft will be in the army by 2020 ..... Although of course I hardly believe ..... there are almost no light helicopters we have.

        I am not aching and will be very pleased if there are a thousand helicopters in 10 years (feasible by the way without stress). I'm talking about something else, about the lack of a systematic approach. Tell me what kind of EW helicopter we have (although there are some, but the old ones in Abkhazia against rodents (not to be confused with Georgians) used an excellent result, in Ossetia they did not use it - the result is known (the number of lost planes)), and even better what kind of reconnaissance helicopter, like amerskoy Kayova. And the main thing in my message is that all these helicopters in America are subordinate to the infantry general and all officers of this division and helicopter pilots drink in the same bar, the children go to the same school, and the women in the laundry know everything about each other and if they know each other the war doesn’t come after John Smith, she will first scratch his wife’s eyes, and then John.

      Yes .... with helicopters, a better situation, it is really possible without stress, to hand over a hundred a year. But we must take into account that more export orders fell on helicopters, which also can not but rejoice, but they are usually a priority, because they are afraid of their image. Because fears that everything will go into our army belatedly.
      And that it is necessary to include helicopter units in the state of land brigades, so everyone has long understood this. By the way, I can’t honestly understand why this does not happen? Everyone understands ... everyone knows ... but no decision is made.
      Can someone in the subject explain why this happens?

      Guys, do not be so naive and do not rush to applaud! While Putin-Medvedev is in power, and the Moscow Region is headed by their accomplice Serdyukov, all beautiful plans are worthless. Their sole purpose is to create the illusion of positive change.

      In reality, this is what they say here zczczc, dimarm74, krymskij, LEKHA pancake, almost demobilization.

      In reality, these are annual disruptions to the State Defense Order, these are cuts of trillions of sums allocated for the defense industry. Allocated not to raise this defense industry, but to take this money away and put it in your pocket. Otherwise, for what such a thick dowel was Serdyukov, a "talented commander" and "great military leader," famous for his machinations in St. Petersburg, was appointed as the supervisor?

      All the information that is now leaked in the media should probably be viewed through the "prism" of the upcoming elections. In our region (Karelia) all defense industry enterprises "from small to large" have collapsed, not by washing, so by rolling. People left in all directions. Where will they get so many specialists? Note that with an increase in the load on the space industry, when the parent enterprises, where life was still somehow glimmering, ceased to cope with the increased volumes, they began to connect the former specialized enterprises, where there was a production break. How many failed launches with billions on board? Three in the last nine months, I think.

      Not ... well, in 2010, 57 helicopters were actually handed over anyway .. For 2011 there is every reason to believe that there will be no less, maybe 15 percent or more, so it’s not bad ..... It’s clear that a little but the pace of production is still growing. And it pleases that the Mi-26T Rosvertol begins to produce.
      The Ulanudinsky factory also quickly began to produce Mi-8 in large quantities.
      So not everything is so bad.

      When I hear how our president is carrying outright nonsense in live or crooked air - I feel sorry for this head-bellied mollusk! In our situation, only an absolutely incompetent person can name such figures for the state defense order. Such tasks would be quite serious for the Soviet military-industrial complex, albeit feasible. After 20 years of intensified collapse and plundering of industry, significant wear and tear of the machine park, loss of qualifications of workers in many specialties, including at the enterprises of the military-industrial complex; the loss of a number of modern technologies - talking about the production of thousands of airplanes, helicopters, tanks, and other military equipment is just fanaticism! Renew 80% of the worn-out machine park in Russia, raise prof. the level of the lower and technological links of production, restore the lost ones and organize promising technological cycles - then the state defense order will not be disrupted! And then we cannot launch the time-tested "Soyuz" into space due to accidents.

What is needed here is that workers, that engineers and engineers are of the highest qualification, but they will not grow on trees, they need at least 5 years of training, and they must also be trained in production.

      In my opinion, there is a conversation about our army.
      Of course, no one has canceled export contracts, it seems like a 50 to 50 ratio this will be until 2020.
      In general, "Russian Helicopters" handed over in 2007 - 102 cars, 2008 - 163 cars, 2009 - 183, 2010 - 215. So there is an increase ... in 2011 it is planned to hand over 260 cars somewhere. So everything is real ..... if you wish, of course.
