Prior to the cessation of serial production of the Ka-50 in 2009, the specifics of the combat use of the Ka-52 provided for them to perform the tasks of the commander's army aviation machine, which is engaged in reconnaissance, target designation and coordination of actions by the combat helicopter group. In addition to performing reconnaissance and combat functions, the Ka-52 can serve as a training machine [5] .

The Ka-52K ship-based version can be equipped with a comparatively more powerful than most of the attack helicopters of army aviation with the Hermes-A guided weapons complex with a maximum firing range of 15–20 km. .

Creation History

Ka-52 prototype

 
11th flight copy of the serial Ka-50 at the Le Bourget Air Show '1993.
 
The 1st flight prototype of the Ka-52 (after conversion from the 11th flight instance of the Ka-50) to the MAKS-2005 .
Ka-50 with factory number 3538053201012, when converted into the 1st flight prototype Ka-52 received factory number 87980006003 [6] .

The first flight prototype of the Ka-52 helicopter, which received the airborne number 061, was re-equipped by the beginning of November 1996 from the serial Ka-50 (the 11th flight copy, which previously wore airborne No. 021 and “exhibition” number H317) [6] [5] . On June 25, 1997, the first flight of the flight prototype took place in the hover mode, and on August 13, 1997, it made its first flight in a circle [7] [8] .

In 2008, two more experimental Ka-52 helicopters (airborne No. 062 and 063) were built at the Progress aircraft factory, the first of which made its first flight on June 27, 2008. Flight tests of the second one, the pre-production Ka-52 (Airborne No. 063), were launched in October 2008 [9] [10] [8] .

October 29, 2008 at the plant "Progress" launched mass production of "Alligators" [11] [12] - the assembly of the first three production helicopters of the installation batch [10] [8] began .

In May 2011, the Ka-52 entered service in the combat part of the army aviation. On May 19, 2011, Major Volkov Andrei Evgenievich, deputy commander of the helicopter squadron, overtook the first Ka-52 helicopter from the pilot batch from the Progress plant to the 575th Army Aviation Base ( Chernigovka airfield) [13] .

October 23, 2012 successfully completed state joint tests of the optical-location station [ what? ] .

Construction

The layout, design, carrier system and the Ka-52 empennage , with the exception of the front part of the fuselage (up to the 18th frame ), almost completely repeat the technical appearance of the Ka-50 helicopter [5] . The power plant of serial machines consists of 2 turboshaft VK-2500 engines , which are a modification of the increased power of the TV3-117VMA engines [14] . Pre-production machines, as well as at least the first production helicopters of the installation batch, were equipped with TV3-117VMA turbo-shaft engines [5] [8] . As on the Ka-50, the Ka-52 engines are equipped with dust protection devices , as well as removable screen-exhaust devices (EVD) to reduce the visibility of the helicopter in the infrared range [15] .

Cab Ka-52

 
Instrument panel (view from the pilot's seat ): indicator on the windshield and multifunctional displays .
 
Display of flight, navigation and sighting information on multifunctional displays (view from the navigator's position - the operator ).

The front of the fuselage (up to the 18th frame) includes the nose compartment , as well as a double cabin with the layout of the crew members nearby. Crew cabin has a reservation. Firing and control of the helicopter (including simultaneous) can be carried out by both the crew commander and the weapon system operator . Also, a fully duplicated control system, in combination with the layout of the crew members nearby, is the best suited for training use. The ejection of crew members (with the help of ejection seats K-37-800M) from the cabin is possible at altitudes from 0 to 4100 m.

Flight-aiming and navigation complex

The Ka-52 helicopters of the serial editions of the 2010s have, as part of their avionics, an integrated aiming-flight-navigation complex (PrPNK) with the open-ended architecture Argument-52 (also known as the BREO-52), based on the interface GOST R 52070-2004 (equivalent to the standard MIL-STD-1553B ). The complex includes avionics , which includes 5 multifunction displays (MFD) on the dashboard (on the first Ka-52 with onboard No. 061, originally 4 liquid crystal displays ) [5] [16] , plus 1 MFD in front of the left pilot (between his legs - behind the handle of the longitudinal-transverse control of the cyclic pitch of the main rotor ). Also in place of the left pilot indicator is installed on the windshield of ILS-31. For night flights, the complex includes night vision goggles of the 3rd generation GEO-ONV-1-01K, developed by Geofizika-NV , a research center (for their use there is a special night-time cabin lighting mode). In addition, as part of PrPNK "Argument-52" there are appropriate sighting and flight-navigation subsystems [17] :

  • As a round-the-clock search and sighting system PrPNK "Argument-52" of the Ka-52 helicopter uses a gyrostabilized optical-electronic system GOES-451, manufactured by UOMZ , which is mounted below the fuselage, in front of the nose landing gear . GOES-451 includes a TV camera (with wide and narrow fields of view ), a thermal imager , a laser rangefinder - target designator , an anti-tank guided missile guidance system (ATGM) sensor — a laser spot finder, and a helicopter’s nose warning system for laser irradiation [ 17] [18] .

On the first prototype of the Ka-52 (airborne no. 061), instead of GOES-451, an optoelectronic system (OES) "Samshit-E" manufactured by UOMZ was installed, the moving ball of which was initially located on the upper surface of the fuselage, in front of the rotor column cockpit. In the three optical windows of the ECO “Samshit-E” a day-time television system, a thermal imager (of French production), a laser range finder-target designator and a laser spot finder were placed [5] . Subsequently (to the MAKS-2003 air show), Samshit-E OES on this machine was replaced by the upgraded Samshit-BM-1 UES , and in addition, the TPO optoelectronic turret optical system was added to the PrPNK of the first flight copy of the Ka-52. -520, developed on the basis of a gyro-stabilized optical-electronic system GOES-520, designed for round-the-clock survey of the terrain, search and detection of landmarks and obstacles [19] . The TOES-520 was placed in a spherical fairing under the nose of the fuselage - on the left behind the nose fairing [20] [8] .

 
The third flight copy of the Ka-52 (side No. 063), equipped with a prototype GOES-451 and TOES-520 (from the bottom of the fuselage, in front of the nose landing gear), in the exhibition center HeliRussia -2009.
  • The round-the-clock piloting system TOES-520 used in PrPNK "Argument-52" includes a TV camera and a thermal imager used for night flights. The system was tested on pre-production flight copies of the Ka-52. At the same time, the “ball” of the TOES-520, smaller in size than the GOES-451, was located to the left of the latter [17] . However, the machines for subsequent serial releases of the 2010s, the TOES-520 was not installed [13] [21] [22] .
  • As the onboard radar station PrPNK “Argument-52” of serial helicopters is used the radar complex (RLK) of the forward review FH01 “Crossbow” , the antenna and part of the modules of which are placed in a radio transparent nose fairing [23] . RLK FH01 "Crossbow" millimeter range provides timely detection of obstacles and identify targets, and therefore allows the flight at extremely low altitudes , in the mode of mapping areas, with the ability to indicate moving targets [17] . In the future, it is planned to equip the Ka-52 with the further development of the Arbalet RLC, designated FH02, with a two-band millimeter and centimeter radar (the latter is more optimal for detecting surface targets) [24] [25] .

On the first prototype of the Ka-52 (airborne no. 061), instead of the FH01 Arbalet, the Rotor surveillance and sight system was mounted under the nose cone on a rotary device (within ± 110 °), replaced with a modified one before the first flight. radio transparent nose cone to accommodate part of the modules of the Arbalet RLC. The Rotor OPS had two optical windows, in one of which a Victor thermal imager sensor ( fr. Victor ) of the French company Thomson ( fr. Thomson ) was installed. In addition, the right-hand position of the navigator-operator of this machine was originally equipped with a binocular - periscopic optical system with a large magnification ratio (associated with a laser rangefinder-aiming indicator) [16] , whose reamer was located in a spherical fairing under the cabin [5] [26] . Subsequently, the optical viewing and sighting system was also dismantled.

The Ka-52 variant, equipped with the Rotor OPS (instead of the forward review crossbow Arbalet), was supposed to be equipped with an overhead modification of the circular review radar Arbalet, the fairing of which was also initially installed above the rotor column of the first flight Ka-52 (side 061) [5] . However, subsequently, the idea of ​​equipping the “Alligator” with the supra-sleeve radar was abandoned due to a significant deterioration in the weight and size and vibration characteristics of the helicopter [17] .

On February 11, 2019, A. I. Boginsky , Director General of the Russian Helicopters holding, announced that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation had approved new technical requirements for the production of Ka-52 Alligator combat helicopters. As part of this modernization, the installation on serial Ka-52 digital PrPNK “Argument-2000”, unified with other types of helicopters developed by the Kamov Design Bureau [27], is provided.

Sighting and flight-navigation complex "Argument-2000"

The complex includes [27] [8] :

  • the onboard digital computer (BTsVM) "Baguette-53" with an open architecture;
  • flight-navigation complex PNK-73DM;
  • round-the-clock piloting system TOES-520;
  • round-the-clock search and sighting system GOES-451 (associated with the Arbalet RLC);
  • the radar complex "Crossbow" (associated with GOES-451);
  • onboard communication complex BKS-50;
  • airborne defense complex ;
  • avionics with the use of MFD and helmet- mounted target designation and indication systems (NCCI);
  • dual control of the complex, the same for both crew members, grouped on their helicopter controls .

PrPNK "Argument-2000" has an open architecture and multiplex data bus that meets national standards [27] .

Airborne Defense Complex

The Ka-52 airborne defense complex (BSO) is the L-370 Vitebsk complex, some elements of which, under the symbol L-370P2, began to be installed on the Alligators after 2010 [28] . In 2015, the first serial deliveries of BSO began, including for equipping the Ka-52, produced in the modification for this helicopter received the designation L-370V52 [29] [30] .

BKO Ka-52 is designed to detect the laser irradiation of a helicopter with the identification of laser means of targeting and rangefindering the enemy, as well as to counter guided missiles aimed at the helicopter (UR) with infrared homing heads (ICGSN), and warnings about the facts of their launch. Equipment L-370V52 "Vitebsk" includes [29] [30] :

  • control device;
  • laser irradiation detection equipment;
  • ultraviolet (UV) missile launch finders;
  • station opto-electronic suppression (SOEP);
  • passive interference devices.

In the future, it is planned to include a digital active interference station (CSAP) in the military helicopter's control center, designed to suppress the radar of detecting and targeting the enemy, as well as to counter SD with radar homing heads [28] .

Armament

Retaining the entire range of single-seat helicopter armament (mobile gun mount with an automatic 2A42 30-caliber cannon and 460 rounds of ammunition, 122-mm and 80-mm unguided aircraft missiles (NAR), cannon bombs , cannons and other weapons with a total weight of up to 2000 kg), Ka -52 can be additionally armed:

  • anti-tank missile system (ATGM) "Sturm-VU" , equipped with an ATGM 9M120-1 "Attack" with a laser homing head (LGSN) [31] ;
  • unguided air-to- air missiles of up to 240 mm caliber (type C-24 );
  • UR class "air-to-air" melee " Needle-In ".

In the future, it is planned to use ATVM "Whirlwind" , equipped with 9A4172 missiles, with a launch weight of 42 kg and a tandem cumulative warhead that can hit armored targets ( tanks , infantry fighting vehicles , etc.) at a range of up to 8 km, while the thickness of the pierced armor reaches 900 mm.

It was previously believed that an important factor facilitating the preparation of the Ka-52 for combat sorties and the replenishment of ammunition in the field was the use of means of destruction widely used in the Air Force and Army Aviation by helicopter: The Vortex anti-aircraft missile system was armed with Su-25T and Su- 25TM ( Su-39 ), the mass production of which was supposed to be launched on the U-UAZ , and the 2A42 cannon is the standard armament of infantry combat vehicles and paratroopers BMP-2 and BMD-2, respectively.

In the future, it is planned to equip the Ka-52 with new, more efficient weapon systems.

The helicopter is equipped with a gyrostabilized optical-electronic system GOES ‑ 451 (from the bottom of the fuselage, in front of the nose landing gear).

Modification of the Ka-52 helicopter (referred to as "Katran") [36] [37] [38] for ship-based. He made the first flight on March 7, 2015 [39] .

Differs in the presence of the folding mechanism of the main rotor blades and wing consoles , reinforcement of the landing gear and additional anti-corrosion treatment [40] .

Initially, the ship version of the helicopter was supposed to install a new radar station with a phased array , which was planned to be developed on the basis of the Zhuk-AE radar (developed by the Fazotron-NIIR Corporation) [17] . However, in 2012, the chief designer of the helicopter direction of this corporation, A. M. Shvachkin, reported that the Ka-52K is currently equipped with the installation of the same FH01 Crossbow, as the army version of the helicopter [23] .

Ka-52K "Katran" at MAKS-2015

 
 
The helicopter is equipped with the OEC-52 optical-electronic system (from the bottom of the fuselage, in front of the nose landing gear).

At the MAKS-2015 air show, the Ka-52K was presented with the new optical-electronic system OES-52 produced by NPP SPP , the main differences of which from GOES-451 are smaller dimensions and weight. These characteristics were obtained due to the fact that the compensation of vibration disturbances and the stabilization of the line of sight in the OES-52 is provided not by a gyrostabilizer , but by a dual-circuit guidance system based on a low-frequency scanner with mechanical drives and a high-frequency piezoelectric mirror. According to V. V. Sumerin, Deputy General Designer at SPP SPP, serial-produced helicopters supplied for export will be primarily equipped with these optical-electronic systems [18] .

Despite the fact that the Ka-52K, due to the folding wing, has 4 weapon suspension units (instead of 6 on the basic version machines, starting with the 4th production batch), the Katran can be equipped with a relatively more powerful guided weapons complex, developed on the basis of “Hermes” ATGM with a range of armored vehicles of 15–100 km [41] . At the same time, the Ka-52K is supposed to install an aviation modification of this KUV - Hermes-A, with a maximum range of day and night of 15–20 km [42] . At the end of 2016, it was reported about the testing of this complex during the Russian military operation in Syria , in the course of its use by Ka-52K helicopters from the Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov tactical group [43] . In October 2017, it was announced that there was an Kh-35 U anti-ship missile in the Katran armament [44] .

In this regard, this attack helicopter as a means of supporting the landing force is “a factor that changes the rules of the game” ( eng. Game changer ), as it allows destroying enemy armored vehicles, not only entering the range of MANPADS, but also many other near- air defense systems . Therefore, Western experts estimate the appearance of a heavy Russian helicopter carrier with such helicopters in the Black Sea as a factor in changing the balance of weapons in the region [45] [46] [47] .

In 2014, the Ministry of Defense of Russia signed a contract for the supply of 32 Ka-52K deck helicopters. New helicopters should be part of the air group of universal amphibious assault ships, helicopters of the type “Mistral” [48] . After the termination of the contract for the supply of UDC and the sale of Mistral France to Egypt - the latter was contracted to supply these combat vehicles for them [49] . The aircraft carrying cruiser Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov, which is regularly designed for the basing of a large helicopter group of 24 units [41] [50], began to be considered as a promising carrier of the Ministry of Defense of Russia.

In April 2019, the Mil.Press FlotProm edition, citing representatives from the Yantar shipyard , reported that the Ka-52K was included in the structure of the aircraft armament of large landing ships of the project 11711 [51] .

Project Evaluations

  November 28, 2018, according to the sources of the Defense Blog [52] , information appeared about the identified technical flaws on the Ka-52 helicopters from the Egyptian Air Force : technical problems with engines and avionics, unreliability of navigation systems. It was also stated that due to the high ambient temperature, the engines of the Egyptian Ka-52 strongly lose thrust in various operating modes. According to the above publication, because of these problems, Egypt was forced to additionally purchase American helicopters AH-64E Apache [53] .

  On December 5, 2018, TASS quoted the head of the Armed Forces Department of the Egyptian Armed Forces, General Tarek Saad Zaglyulya, who said that the Ka-52 helicopter "is at the highest quality level, not inferior to the American Apache" (AH-64 Apache) . Also, according to other Egyptian TASS sources: “... this helicopter is the most modern and suitable for the tasks of the country's army, passed at the highest level of acceptance in the army” , and the information about technical problems allegedly identified during the operation in the Western 52 The Egyptian Air Force is nothing more than a “throw-in” in order to eliminate competition in the arms market targeting the African continent [54] .

In service

  •   Russia - 118 units, as of 2018 [55] .
  •   Egypt - 3 Ka-52 units, as of 2018 [56] . Since 2017, deliveries under the contract for 46 units Ka-52 and Ka-52K have been carried out [57] [58] .

Combat use

 
Ka-52 (onboard number 48) at MAKS-2013 - demonstration flight with shooting of false heat targets .

In March 2016, several Ka-52s were deployed to the aviation group of the Russian Aerospace Force in Syria [59] , where, since April of the same year, they have been used in various operations [60] .

At the end of 2016, two Ka-52Ks, as part of the Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov TAKR air group, took part in hostilities in the Syrian Arab Republic [61] .

Incidents

On March 12, 2012 at 21:05, the Ka-52 helicopter (airborne No. 99) crashed in the Torzhok district of the Tver region during a scheduled training flight. The wreckage was discovered by a search team 10 hours after the disaster (just 10 km from the airport of Torzhok , 1.5 km west of the village of Bolshaya Kiselenka , located on the Moscow-St. Petersburg route ( M-10 ) [62] . As a result of the fall died, the pilot was seriously injured and, despite all the efforts of doctors, later died [63] .

On October 29, 2013, an experienced Ka-52 helicopter crashed on the territory of the Kamov Flight Test Complex ( Zhulebino , Privolnaya Street ). As a result of the fire, the helicopter was destroyed. Both pilots were hospitalized [64] . The helicopter made a test flight according to the program of factory tests of the helicopter systems. The cause of the fall was the destruction of the upper screw thrust control [65] .

On May 7, 2018, during a scheduled flight over the eastern regions of the Syrian Arab Republic, the Ka-52 from the Aviation Group of the Russian Aeronautical Aviation Group in Syria crashed and both pilots died. According to preliminary data, the cause was a technical failure [66] . According to an unofficial version, the board was shot down by radical Islamists from a portable anti-aircraft missile system [67] .
