The Ka-52s can also be armed with IGLA-V anti-aircraft guided missiles.įurther, the helicopter was equipped with the latest guided air-to-surface missile Izdeliye 305E (Product 305 E), which can strike a target at a distance of up to 14.5km with a speed of up to 230m/s. VIKHR anti-tank missile has a range of eight to ten kilometres. The hardpoints can carry VIKHR anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM), ATAKA missiles with laser guidance system and B8V-20 rocket launchers for 80mm unguided S-8 rockets. The six wing-mounted external hardpoints can be attached with different combinations of weapons.

As part of the contract, RDC was responsible for the supply of avionics packages for Ka-52 attack helicopter and Ka-52K advanced ship-based variant between 20. In September 2012 Russian Helicopters, a subsidiary of Oboronprom, signed a long-term contract with Ramenskoye Design Company (RDC) for deliveries of avionics equipment. The helicopter also integrates a FAZOTRON cabin desk radio-locator and navigation and attack system for helicopters (NASH). The modern glass cockpit is equipped with a head-up-display (HUD), four SMD 66 multifunction displays, helmet-mounted sight display, image intensifiers and a GPS receiver.
Both the crew members are seated on identical K-37-800M ejection seats fitted with a catapult crew rescue system. The twin-seat cockpit accommodates two crew members in side-by-side arrangement.
The maximum take-off weight of the Ka-52 is 10,800kg. The helicopter has a length of 16m, height of 4.9m and main rotor diameter of 14.5m. The commonality of the airframe, components and systems of the two variants is about 85%. The helicopter features a wider nose and an extended fuselage due to its twin-seat cockpit. Ka-52 incorporates a slightly modified design of the Ka-50 helicopter.
