The Kamov Ka-50 "Black Shark" is a Russian single-seat attack helicopter with the distinctive coaxial rotor system of the Kamov design bureau. It was designed in the 1980s and adopted for service in the Russian army in 1995. It is manufactured by the Progress company in Arsenyev. It is used as a heavily armed scout helicopter. It is the world's first operational helicopter with a rescue ejection system (This upload doesn't have one).

- Weighs 2236 kg
- Costs $42562
- Sling load capable
- Coaxial rotor design
- Parallax resistant HUD




This aircraft is armed with 3 weapons systems

- 6 Vikhr Air To Ground Guided Missiles
- 24 Rapid-Fire Unguided rockets
- Fixed light autocannon with 200 rounds of HE

The rocket pods are controlled by a microcontroller, allowing for a much greater fire rate.




In the cockpit there is a countermeasure control panel where flares can be dispensed manually or continuously. Both the seat and the panel can drop single flares, while continuous will drop a flare every 4.9 seconds to ensure continuous protection. Using the continuous mode with a full set of chaff will yield at max ~45 seconds of radar protection.
