Attack helicopter flight demonstration videos of the Kamov Ka-52 and the Mil Mi-28N at MAKS 2019 by pilots Александр Чередниченко (Aleksandr Cherednichenko) and Сергей Маслов (Sergey Maslov) during august 30th, including a flare launch domnstration by the Ka-52.

Aircraft:
- Ка-52 «Аллигатор»
Ka-52 Alligator (Russian designation) / Hokum B (NATO designation)
- Ми-28H «Ночной охотник»
Mi-28N Night Hunter (Russian designation) / Havoc (NATO designation)

Kamov Ka-52 «Alligator» is an all-weather, tandem cockpit attack helicopter designed and made in Russia. The helicopter has a coaxial rotor which eliminates the need for a tail rotor and can sustain small arms (20mm) fire. The aircraft is also very unique since it features ejection seats.

Among its military capabilities, the heli particularly excells in fighting armored vehicles, fortifications and infantry as well as countering other low-speed/altitude flying aircraft.
The helicopter also specializes in reconnaissance and close air support (CAS) for ground troops.

In the early 1980s, while comparative tests of the V-80 (Ka-50 prototype) and the Mi-28 were being conducted, the Kamov design team came up with a proposal to develop a dedicated helicopter to conduct battlefield reconnaissance, provide target designation, support and coordinate group attack helicopter operations. However, the economic hardships that hit the nation in the late 1980s hampered this new development program. This prompted Kamov's Designer General to choose a modified version of Ka-50 on which to install the reconnaissance and target designation system. The modified "Black Shark" required a second crew member to operate the optronics/radar reconnaissance suite. Kamov decided to use side-by-side seating arrangement, due to the verified improvements in co-operation between the crew members. This twin-seat version was designated Ka-52.

In comparison to the original Ka-50, the Ka-52 has a "softer" nose profile and a radar system with two antennas—mast-mounted for aerial targets and nose-mounted for ground targets. Day-and-night TV/thermal sighting system in two spherical turrets (one over the cockpit and the second under the nose) are also fitted. The Ka-52 has the side-mounted cannon of the original Ka-50. It features six wing-mounted hardpoints compared to four on the Ka-50. To keep the weight and performance on par with that of the Ka-50, the armor and the capacity of the cannon magazine/feed were reduced and a new set of VK-2500 engines were installed. The Ka-52 is approved for flying during day, night and adverse weather conditions.

Manufacturing of the first Ka-52 airframe began in mid-1996. Serial production of the Ka-52 began at the Progress Arsenyev Aviation Company plant in Arsenyev, Primorsky Krai by the end of the 2008. The first phase of the official tests was completed in December 2008 and after that permission was given for the production of an experimental batch for phase 2. After the completion of the state trials, the Ka-52 entered service in May 2011 with first operational units joining the Russian Air Force the same month. Under previous State Defense Procurement Plans, the Russian Armed Forces was to receive 2 experimental and 24 serial Ka-52s by 2012. The second long-term contract worth of 120 billion rubbles signed in 2011, provided the Russian Air Force in total with 146 Ka-52 helicopters until 2020. In February 2018, the Russian Ministry of Defence again expressed an interest to purchase an additional 114 Ka-52s units within the new State Armament Program for 2018–2027.
