Russian Kamov Ka-52 Alligator Hokum-B Scout-Attack Helicopter. All-weather combat helicopter developed by the Kamov Design Bureau. It is a twin-seat derivative of the Ka-50 and is designed to engage armoured and unarmoured ground targets as well as low-speed aerial threats. Based on the Ka-50 airframe, the Ka-52 features a redesigned forward fuselage with a side-by-side two-seat cockpit. The nose is wider due to the revised cockpit armour layout and the installation of a nose-mounted radome. The 30 mm cannon and six wing-mounted hardpoints from the Ka-50 were retained. The helicopter is equipped with a catapult crew-rescue system incorporating ejection seats and a rocket-assisted parachute. The Ka-52 carries anti-tank missiles, rockets, and air-to-air missiles on its six external weapon stations. Radar equipment is mounted in the nose, while the day/night thermal sighting system is housed in spherical turrets beneath the nose.
