However, the economic hardships that hit the nation in the late 1980s hampered this new development program. This prompted Kamov's Designer General to choose a modified version of Ka-50 on which to install the recce and target designation system. The modified Black Shark required a second crew member to operate the optronics/radar reconnaissance suite. Kamov decided to use side-by-side seating arrangement, due to the verified improvements in co-operation between the crew members. This twin-seat version was designated Ka-52. • Role: Attack helicopter, scout helicopter • National origin: Soviet Union / Russia • Manufacturer: Kamov • First flight: 25 June 1997 • Introduction : 28 August 1995 • Status: In service • Primary users: Russian Air Force (VVS), Egyptian Air Force • Produced: 1990-present • Number built: Ka-50: 32, Ka-52: 80 • Unit cost: $16 million as of May 2011 • Developed from: Kamov V-80 • Crew: 1 • Length: 16.0 m • Rotor diameter: 14.5 m • Height: 4.93 m • Disc area: 330.3 m² • Empty weight: 7,700 kg • Loaded weight: 9,800 kg, 10,400 kg for Ka-52 • Max. takeoff weight: 10,800 kg • Powerplant: 2 × Klimov VK-2500 turboshaft, 2,400 shp each • Never exceed speed: 350 km/h in dive • Maximum speed: 315 km/h in level flight • Cruise speed: 270 km/h • Range: 545 km • Combat radius: 470 km • Ferry range: 1,160 km with 4 drop tanks • Service ceiling: 5,500 m operational, 4,000 m hover • Rate of climb: 12 m/s • Disc loading: 30 kg/m² • Power/mass: 0.33 kW/kg • Guns: • 1x mobile semi-rigid 30 mm Shipunov 2A42 cannon (460 rounds total, dual feeding AP or HE-Frag) • Hardpoints: • 4 (6 on Ka-52) under-wing hardpoints, plus 2 on wingtips for countermeasures or air-to-air missiles with a capacity of 2,000 kg and provisions to carry combinations of • Rockets: • 80 x 80 mm S-8 rockets and 20 x 122 mm S-13 rocket, • Missiles: • 2 x APU-6 Missile racks, able to accommodate a total of 12 9K121 Vikhr anti-tank missiles, Vympel R-73 (NATO: AA-11 Archer) air-to-air missiles, Kh-25 semi-active laser guided tactical air-to-ground • Missiles Bombs: • 4x 250 kg bombs or 2x 500 kg bombs, • Other: • 23 mm UPK-23-250 gun pods (240 rounds each), 500 L (130 US gal) external fuel tanks.
