The Kamov Ka-50 is an attack helicopter designed to provide close air support for ground troops, and battle enemy armored vehicles and other high-value targets. The Ka-50 is a unique chopper in that it features a coaxial rotor system, eliminating the need for a tail rotor.
The Defense Ministry has released a video of the Russian Air Force's Ka-52 attack helicopter crews destroying strongholds and armored vehicles belonging to the Ukrainian military during combat missions.
The footage shows the Ka-52 taking off for a combat mission, setting off on a combat course, working on targets with unguided aerial missiles from the glide path and returning back to the airfield.
