The Kamov Ka-50 Hokum is a single-seat Russian attack helicopter with the distinctive coaxial rotor system of the Kamov design bureau. Production of the attack helicopter was ordered by the Soviet Council of Ministers on 14 December 1987. Development of the helicopter was first reported in the West in 1984. The first photograph appeared in 1989. Following initial flight testing and system tests the Council ordered the first batch of helicopters in 1990. The attack helicopter was first described publicly as the "Ka-50" in March 1992 at a symposium in the United Kingdom. The Ka-50 was designed to be small, fast and agile to improve survivability and lethality. For minimal weight and size (thus maximum speed and agility) it was—uniquely among gunships—to be operated by a single pilot only. The Ka-50 carries one 2A42 30-mm gun. The gun is mounted near the centre of fuselage. It has 460 rounds of ammunition, high-fragmentation and explosive incendiary rounds and armour-piercing rounds.
Designed to meet a Soviet Army requirement for a battlefield attack helicopter, the Ka-50 Hokum-A or Black Shark was first flown on June 17th, 1982. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
