Russian KA-52 | Wunderwaffe or a FAILURE? Detailed analysis by Estonian Soldier
Video Summary
The Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter, known as the “Alligator,” has been a key component of Russia’s military arsenal in the war with Ukraine. Despite being touted as one of the world’s most advanced attack helicopters, the Ka-52 has been plagued by losses, with over 40 helicopters destroyed or damaged in the past 19 months. The Ka-52 is a formidable machine, with a top speed of 196 miles per hour and a range of 683 miles, but its coaxial rotor design and lack of modern battlefield technology have made it vulnerable to Ukrainian air defenses. Russia’s reliance on foreign components, including Western-made parts, has also been a weakness, with Ukraine capturing and analyzing Russian equipment to reveal the extent of Russian dependence on foreign technology. The Ka-52 has been used to devastating effect on the battlefield, with Ukrainian forces struggling to counter its firepower and maneuverability. However, the loss of these helicopters has also highlighted the need for Ukraine to develop its own air superiority capabilities, with the introduction of Western fighter jets like the F-16 and more advanced missile systems potentially tipping the balance of power in favor of Ukraine.
