Russian Ministry of Defense / Telegram
The Russian Ministry of Defense named the Ka-52 Alligator attack and reconnaissance helicopter one of the most popular combat helicopters and announced its characteristics. The press service of the defense department posted in Telegram video with the use of military equipment.
Among the stated characteristics are the high maneuverability of the Ka-52, which is ensured by the engines (the helicopter can move in any direction, even sideways and in reverse, as well as fly at extremely low altitudes), as well as reliable protection. Its frontal part and main elements are protected by reinforced armor, and the onboard defense system successfully copes with enemy MANPADS.
“This helicopter is capable of performing special missions in any weather and at any time of the day. Two powerful engines lift it into the air even with wind gusts of 25 m/s (classified as a “strong storm”). But this is not a hindrance for the Alligator,” noted the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry.
The “Alligator” has already proven itself many times during its execution in the special military operation (SVO) zone in Ukraine, as well as in Syria.
Earlier it was reported that Russia has developed a heavy combat drone “Berdysh”. This is a modular drone that can be used to lay anti-tank and anti-personnel mines and drop a powerful landmine on the enemy.
