The Ka-52 “Alligator” attack and reconnaissance helicopter (Камов Ка-52) is one of the most feared combat machines in Russia’s arsenal. Designed to operate in any weather, day or night, the Alligator combines power, extreme maneuverability, and reinforced armor.
With twin engines capable of withstanding winds up to 25 m/s, the Ka-52 can fly sideways, backward, or at ultra-low altitudes — maintaining full control during high-risk missions. Its advanced protection against MANPADS and armored cockpit make it nearly impenetrable.
Battle-tested in Syria and in the special military operation, the Alligator has earned a reputation as a relentless hunter of the skies — a true airborne predator.
