SİSTEM GENEL BAKIŞI
The Ka-52M is the modernised variant of the Alligator attack helicopter featuring the coaxial rotor configuration. The M upgrade adds the LMUR (Izdeliye 305) electro-optically guided fire-and-forget missile with 14.5 km range for standoff engagement, improved GOES-451 electro-optical targeting system, and upgraded avionics. Primary weapons include Vikhr-M laser-beam-riding ATGMs, B-8 80mm rockets, and the 30mm 2A42 cannon. The Ka-52 has been Russia's most active attack helicopter in Ukraine since 2022, employed extensively in assault support and anti-tank roles, with significant losses to Ukrainian air defences.

TAM BOYUTU GÖRÜNTÜLE
Ka-52 Alligator - Kamov
AVANTAJLAR
- Coaxial rotor eliminates tail rotor — compact footprint and agility advantage
- LMUR (Izdeliye 305) fire-and-forget missile enables 14.5 km standoff engagement
- L370 Vitebsk missile warning and jamming system for self-protection
- Russia's most operationally active attack helicopter in Ukraine
- Ka-52K Katran naval variant designed for shipborne operations
DEZAVANTAJLAR
- Coaxial rotor system maintenance is significantly more complex and expensive than conventional
- Heavy losses in Ukraine to MANPADS, Gepard SPAAG, and Stinger
- Ka-52M production rate struggling to replace combat losses
- Pilot ejection system: rotor blade jettison before seat fire — reliability concerns
