potential new customers, Russian helicopters suitable for meeting a wide range of
challenges in various physical, geographical and climatic conditions.

and at the manufacturers’ stands.

At its stand, Rosoboronexport will showcase a scaled model of the Ka-52 scout/attack
helicopter, a leader among attack helicopters, which has proven its high capabilities
and performance in actual combat during the Russian Air Force’s anti-terrorist operation
in Syria.

The Ka-52, equipped with state-of-the-art avionics and powerful weapons, is fully
compliant with the reconnaissance-strike warfare concept, combining the functions
of attack, reconnaissance and command helicopters.

The Ka-52 is the world’s only helicopter equipped with an ejection escape system.

This helicopter has excellent flight performance and, thanks to its coaxial rotor
system, can perform new types of maneuver, including “funnel” and “flat turn”, thus
enabling it to highly effectively engage moving targets in their least protected
areas. The[ Ka-52](https://www.military.africa/2017/03/egypt-air-force-and-navy-to-receive-ka-52-black-shark-attack-helicopter)
