Additional Information

the Ka-50 Attack helicopter, commonly known as the black Shark, began to be developed in 1976 under the influence of the American Apache. The first flight was made in 1982, but the first military tests began only after the collapse of the Soviet Union, in 1993. The development of the helicopter was engaged in Kamov design Bureau, which had extensive experience in the design of Maritime helicopters, hence the unique feature of the combat vehicle – coaxial system the location of the screws. Another unique feature of the design is a single cockpit, which is considered a weak point of the machine. Control of the helicopter and weapons has a huge load on the pilot, which greatly affects the combat effectiveness. This led to the absence of new orders and the release of a two-seater modification of the Ka-52, but in service is more than 10 Ka-50, which are mainly used by special forces.
