Ka-52 Alligator: Strike Helicopter. The Tank Destroyer
Watch Combat Approved series:
The Kamov Ka-52 Alligator is one of the Russian Air Force's most powerful and advanced anti-tank helicopters. Its impressive flight and combat capabilities make the Alligator a highly manoeuvrable flying armoury that can operate around the clock in almost all weather conditions.
The Alligator can fly backwards, sideways, and soar as low as nine metres. Its contra-rotating rotors are driven by two engines, each delivering 2,400 horsepower. The Ka-52 can even perform complex aerobatic stunts like the funnel and zoom – even while loaded up with almost three tonnes of powerful weapons.
Armed with an anti-aircraft gun, guided Ataka missiles and unguided S-8 rockets, the Alligator is a menace to targets on the ground and in the air. This attack helicopter's cockpit is armoured to keep the crew safe from bullets and it has an electronic jamming system to fend off incoming missiles.
In an emergency, a unique escape system allows both pilots to eject safely after the rotor blades have been jettisoned.
Check out this fearsome war machine with Combat Approved. In this episode, we visit the Arsenyev factory where the Ka-52 is built, take a ‘test-drive’ to see how this super-chopper performs and join in for a mock dogfight. We also meet the commander of the first military unit to fly Alligators on active duty.

MAKS 2017 - Russian Helicopters: Mi-28N, Mi-35, Mi-26... - HD 50fps
Russian Helicopters (Вертолеты России) is a leading player in the global helicopter industry, the sole Russian rotorcraft designer and manufacturer and one of the few companies worldwide with the capability to design, manufacture, service and test modern civilian and military helicopters. The Company is headquartered in Moscow and is also part of State Corporation Rostec. Its principal shareholder is Oboronprom. It is the world's 24th-largest defence contractor measured by 2012 defence revenues, and the second-largest based in Russia after Almaz-Antey.
Russian Helicopters’ facilities span the entire country. The Company includes several design bureaus, helicopter assembly plants, components production, maintenance and repair enterprises, aircraft repair plants, and helicopter service companies providing after-sales support in Russia and abroad. Russian Helicopters is headquartered in Moscow. It was established in 2007, but its key enterprises date back more than 70 years.
As of 2016 there were over 8,000 russian helicopters operating in over 100 countries. Russian Helicopters products account for approximately 90% of the rotorcraft market in Russia and 10% of worldwide helicopter sales. This same year, Russian Helicopters enterprises produced around 22% of the global military helicopter fleet, 32% of the global combat helicopter fleet, and 42% of the medium-heavy transport helicopter fleet. Russian Helicopters has produced a record 49% of the global ultra-heavy helicopter fleet (MTOW over 20 T), as well as 65% of the global medium helicopter fleet with MTOW from 7 to 20 T.
In 2016 Russian Helicopters produced 189 helicopters. As of January 2017, the Company’s firm order book stood at 396 helicopters.
Russian Helicopters occupies leading positions in the fast-growing markets of India and China and is rapidly expanding its presence in South and Central America, the Middle East and Africa.
The Company boasts very strong R&D capabilities. Two major world-class rotorcraft-designing schools, Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant and Kamov are part of the Holding. The history of two design bureaus is closely intertwined with the lives of the two men after whom they were named, Mikhail Mil and Nikolai Kamov, who are universally considered the founding fathers of Russia’s helicopter industry. Nikolai Kamov, who has been credited with coining the Russian word for helicopter, вертолет, was actively involved in design and development of an autogyro, a predecessor of a helicopter, in the 1920s. Under the guidance of Mikhail Mil the first Russian series produced helicopter was created.

DEADLY FAST Russian military Ka 52 Alligator Attack Helicopter
The Ka 52 will make a good attack helicopter for the Russian military . The Kamov Ka-50 Black Shark (Russian: Чёрная акула; Chornaya Akula Black Shark, NATO reporting name: Hokum A) is a single-seat Russian attack helicopter with the distinctive coaxial rotor system of the Kamov design bureau. It was designed in the 1980s and adopted for service in the Russian army in 1995. It is currently manufactured by the Progress company in Arsenyev. It is being used as a heavily armed scout helicopter.[2]
During the late 1990s, Kamov and Israel Aerospace Industries developed a tandem-seat cockpit version, the Kamov Ka-50-2 Erdogan, to compete in Turkey's attack helicopter competition. Kamov also designed another two-seat variant, the Kamov Ka-52 Alligator (Russian: Аллигатор, NATO reporting name: Hokum B).[10]
Design[edit]
Ka-50 and the two-seat version Ka-52, are high-performance combat helicopters with day and night capability, high survivability and fire power, to defeat air targets and heavily armoured tanks armed with air defence weapons. It was designed to be small, fast and agile to improve survivability and lethality.[34]
The coaxial rotor design provides a hovering ceiling of 4,000 m and vertical rate of climb of 10 m a second at an altitude of 2,500 m. The rotor blades are made from polymer materials. The coaxial-rotor configuration results in moments of inertia values relative to vertical and lateral axes between 1.5 to two times less than the values found in single-rotor helicopters with tail rotors. Absence of the tail rotor enables the helicopter to perform flat turns within the entire flight speed range. A maximum vertical load factor of 3.5 g combined with low moments of inertia give the Ka-50 a high level of agility. Flight systems include inertial navigation system (INS), autopilot and head-up display (HUD). Sensors include forward-looking infrared (FLIR) and terrain-following radar.[34]
The Kamov Ka-50 is also fitted with an electronic radio and sighting-piloting-navigating system allowing flights at day and night in VFR and IFR weather conditions. The novelty of this avionics is based on the system of precise target designation with digital coded communication system, which ensures the exchange of information (precise enemy coordinates) between helicopters flying far apart from each other and ground command posts as well.[21] Ka-52 is also equipped with a Phazotron cabin desk radio-locator allowing flights in adverse meteorological conditions and at night. The necessary information acquired by this radio-locator is transferred to cabin desk’s multi-functional display screen. For conducting a fight, both pilots are equipped with range-finders built-in their helmets and they can use nocto-visual eyepieces for night flights.[23]
For its own protection, Black Shark is fitted with a radar warning receiver, electronic warfare system and chaff and flare dispenser.[34] The Alligator is equipped with rejecters of heat and radar misleading targets. The rejecters are placed in aerodynamic containers fitted at wings’ ends. Each casing (container) contains two rejecters for 32 misleading 26 mm calibre targets each. The whole system works on principle of evaluated response based on infrared or electronic impulse irradiation.[23]
Extensive all-round armour installed in the cockpit protects the pilot against 12.7mm armour-piercing bullets and 23mm projectile fragments. The rotor blades are rated to withstand several hits of ground-based automatic weapons.[34]
A high degree of the Kamov Ka-50 survivability is ensured by:[21]
the pilot’s cockpit fitted with steel plates that can withstand lateral hit of 20 mm projectiles in addition to armored glass 55 mm thick
protection of fuel tanks, controls, drive system, auxiliary power unit (APU). hydraulic and other systems
the rotor blades made from super-strong plastic allowing to continue flight despite several direct hits
the coaxial main rotor configuration without tail rotor and its control systems and gear box radically increasing the helicopter survivability because when they are hit, a crash is inevitable
composite materials, amount to 35 per cent of the helicopter's load-carrying structure.[citation needed]
landing gear and fuselage absorb ground impact overloads.
If one engine is destroyed, the Ka-50 can fly with only one.
It is the world's first operational helicopter with a rescue ejection system, which allows the pilot to escape at all altitudes and speeds. The K-37-800 rocket-assisted ejection system is manufactured by the Zvezda Research and Production Enterprise Joint Stock Company in the Moscow region.[34]
Armament[edit]
The aircraft has one 2A42 30-mm gun. This automatic cannon is mounted near the centre of fuselage and carries 460 high-fragmentation, explosive incendiary, or armour-piercing rounds. The type of ammunition is also selected by the pilot in the flight.

10 17 2018 Celebrating The Life Of Eleanor Lord Pray Vladivostok Russia
Letters from the world's end: Eleanor Pray and her love story with Vladivostok
From 1894 to 1930 a native of South Berwick (Maine, U.S.) Eleanor Lord Pray lived in Vladivostok, the main Russian city on the Pacific Ocean. She sent letters to her loved ones every day.
Eleanor's letters are the late 19th century equivalent of an internet blog dedicated to Vladivostok. By reading this correspondence, we learn much about the life of an ordinary human being and the history of the country where she resided, the perspective of an American getting closer and closer to her new homeland.
The letters were kept by Eleanor's relatives in the U.S. until they were found by Birgitta Ingemanson, a professor of Russian literature. The publishing house Rubezh (Vladivostok) translated them into Russian in 2008 and released them as a separate book. It became a bestseller in Russia's Far East.
War and peace in a beloved city
The story begins with the U.S. citizen Charles Smith who owned a department store in Vladivostok. He invited a relative Frederick Pray to help him with his business. This is how the Pray family appeared in Vladivostok; they got settled at the Smiths' home at 5 Pochtovy pereulok. Smith died in 1898, but his widow Sarah continued living there with the Prays.
“Life is easy and fun here,“ wrote Eleanor. She liked to relax in a sunny courtyard near her house, walk along Svetlanskaya, Aleutskaya and other central streets of the city. She went to the Easter service at the Cathedral of the Assumption, which still stands today. She enjoyed staring out at the ocean.
Pray enjoyed ice-skating on the Golden Horn Bay and local entertainment such as masquerade. She wrote, “Groups of masked people stroll around the city and drop by at places where noble society gather for celebration, no matter if they know the hosts or not. The masked try hard to show off the ‘nastiest’ things they can do.”
Eleanor really liked Russian cuisine (even if she was probably somewhat detached from the reality of the difficult conditions of ordinary Russians): “I have heard insinuations about how Russian soldiers are poorly fed, how they have to survive on soup and brown bread only; but I have to say that this is the most delicious soup I have ever tasted. There is a variety of vegetables and a gigantic peace of meat in every portion, it would be good even for a king.”
“Vladivostok is a fortress of the Empire, like Malta or Kronstadt, and this is why there is a huge number of officers here – both field and naval,” Eleanor reported to her close ones. Along with Vladivostok she witnessed several wars, revolutions and the intervention of the Western powers and Japan during the Russian Civil War.
“I heard a canon shot. My heart almost stopped beating. It felt like an hour has passed before I heard two more shots. Then I realized that it was a signal to start a fighting given from the Admiral’s ship, ‘Rossiya.' This is how Eleanor described the Vladivostok cruisers in the bay during the Russo-Japanese war in 1904.
About the Civil War she wrote, “Almost everywhere around the station and along the quay there are dead bodies. Wet snow that fell yesterday makes the picture even gloomier… Poor cadets that died at the station… I can recognize many of these boys“ (from a letter written in 1919).
Eleanor fell in love with Vladivostok and did not want to leave. In 1918 she wrote: “Beyond Paris, Vladivostok is probably the most fascinating city on Earth at the moment… We are so very lucky to witness so many interesting things happening around us here and now in Vladivostok!”
Eleanor stayed on in Vladivostok even after Sarah Smith´s departure to Shanghai and her husband’s death. She worked in trader house Kunst and Albers opened by a German native until the firm was nationalized by the government.
“I asked myself what should all these people feel… the people who spend their whole lives serving Russia… and those who were forced to flee abroad… What do they think looking at these magnificent volcano peaks surrounding the bay knowing that they are leaving forever?” she wrote in 1922 when Russian officers opposing the Soviet government were emigrating from Vladivostok. Eleanor left for the U.S. only in 1930 when the last remaining foreigners left Vladivostok. The Soviet government took the businesses they owned.
The cultural legacy of Eleanor Pray is growing and becoming better known. Soon after the collection of her letters was published, an album of her photos was released as well. The Arsenyev Primorsky Museum presented an exhibition based on her correspondence.

Сихоте-Алинский хребет / Sikhote-Alin / シホテアリニ山脈
Sikhote-Alin State Nature Biosphere Reserve is the largest reserve in Primorye.
For the first time the description of the nature of the Middle Sikhote-Alin was made by the Russian explorer of the Far East, traveler and writer V.K.Arsenyev at the beginning of the 20th century. Based on the results of a number of expeditions in 1902-1910, the mountainous region of Sikhote-Alin was investigated, which was previously considered a white spot on the geographical map. Arseniev noted the uniqueness, diversity and mosaic of the mountain forests of Sikhote-Alin, which he designated as the Great Forest.
Abramov's role in the development of the north of the Far East is great. he did a lot of work not only in the improvement of the reserve, but also cleared the territory of the reserve from taiga predators-poachers and Chinese-permanent poachers for pantas, ginsengs, who grew opium poppy in opaque tracts and drove moonshine moonshine. The result of Abramov's activities was a significant increase in the territory of the reserve. Since 1944, the area of the reserve has been increased and amounted to 1800 million hectares without a security zone.
Currently, the territory of the reserve is 401600 hectares and includes 2,900 hectares of water area of the Sea of Japan.
