Kumov Ka-50 Black Shark / Werewolf Helicopter - Military Video

[88mroux]

Whats the track title for this theme music playing in the backround?

[muzeklijstje]

Мудак Мудак Мудак!!!!!!

[SalamanderTalent]

very nice, how much?

[vmifxster]

Good Helicopter, but his crew must be high-level professional pilot. Becouse very hardly to fly (control helicopter) , search, track and shot AT missiles and gun... too hard for one average pilot.

[Helge129]

@vmifxster Coaxials are easier to handle than conventional helis.

[fescolfaro]

People mistake russian engineering for russian populist engineering.

What the army got during communist days was top-grade AA quality stuff (for instance, some helicopter that was active in the cold war days is still today the only trustworthy flying machine to transport people regularly to and from icy parts in Siberia).

Now what they put out for the people, Ladas and all, that was a serious dose of crappola on wheels...

[johntetzel]

@fescolfaro this is absolutely right... the military was a huge brain drain... putting the country's best minds in military labs, stifling creativity, providing no incentives for innovation, and pumping fortunes into industry while the rest of the world became service-based economies caused the fall of the USSR, nothing else... The Russians were some of the greatest engineers ever.

[MegaSalajka]

@fescolfaro

All truth, except that what you say about Lada... One thing about Lada is worthy of respect, and that's Niva. That vehicle is ugly, spends a lot of fuel, but you can drive it on any terrain and it outmatches any other terrain vehicles. I was stunned when I saw that rescue services use it on French Alps...

[fescolfaro]

@MegaSalajka I beg to differ my man... A friend of mine researched a bit and bought one for off-roading, and it did drive anywhere, but required maintenance after every 3 or 4 trails... He literally had it 1 week at the shop for every 2 weeks driving (with a specialized mechanic). He was a huge fan for one year, f.i. he had a winch and was always towing people with "better" cars out, but after this year he had spent the same as what he paid for the thing again, and had to give it away...

[MegaSalajka]

@fescolfaro

This is the first time I hear that it requires maintenance in such ridiculous short time. But anything's possible... Since I have a Russian selling Russian car parts in commercial part of my property for ten years, I've heard a lot of stories (good-bad) from him and his customers. But I never heard anything like that for Lada Niva. Lets be frank, for every "research" you need more than one "specimen" to make judgment.

Regards!

[fescolfaro]

@MegaSalajka That's true, and my friend did push it to extremes while off-road. Nonetheless, he was in and out of the shop :) I remember also one time, it was raining buckets and we were driving along some road, he was playing with the car driving it to the side of the road where all the water was accumulating, goofing around saying "it drives on water" until it suddenly stopped. The carburetor got wet from the splashing, so it probably doesn't like water as well. Sturdy yes, reliable no. Cheers

впечатляет

[unitedstates49]

Name of the freaking song PLEASE!!!!!!! anyone.

[88mroux]

Way cool video and love the backround music for this, it really fits!

[SCRTpilot]

If it would be possible I would fall in love with this machine.

Russian engineering is the best.

[Simbirsk2130]

@SCRTpilot The Ka-50 is more than your ordinary combat helicopter. It is actually a fighter with rotor blades in my opinion. In fact, it was created with the idea of it engaging helicopters and low flying fixed wing aircraft, apart from the usual ground attack role.

[mizukami999]

BMP-2 gun mounted - awesome

[beliy1987]

aha! Five tons of recoil

[mizukami999]

I mean that's munchkin style. I'd prefer a tank turret though.

[beliy1987]

That would probably increase the size of the choppa. Plus its a single sit, i dont know if a pilot could operate those sistems all at the same in the battle man. But i still in love with this machine!!! YEah!!!!!!

[Simbirsk2130]

@mizukami999 pay attention to where it is mounted. It is mounted near the helicopters center of mass, so that it's recoil doesn't "turn" the helicopter.

The same gun is mounted on the Russian Mi-28 Havoc on a ordinary nose turret, with the result of achieving 4 times less shooting accuracy, when compared to the Ka-50.

[j0ker0nline]

Awesome Machine

[dhulcarnein]

Marxism weapons.

[brooklyn560]

looks like the good old apache finally has same competition

[Helge129]

It already hat with the Eurocopter Tiger and the Agusta Mangusta (or so, IDR the name....)

[88Thyra]

only vulnerable spot looks like the rotor post, exterior. Unlike the B.H.k's  tail rotor.

[giftraum]

excellent music, and excellent images. i really like the way russians design things, i mean in aesthetics terms, not fire power or stuff like that

[NewbeFeaster]

They are WAY more creative than US designs. SU-47's wings, Kamov's rotors, the TYPHOON's double hull compared to the OHIO, etc, etc.

[baroud13]

thats so fucking dangerous. you can have a blade strike at tumble to the grownd and die.

But dont get me wrong, it very cool.

[alexx86hater]

This is possible only on heavy overlimits. They lost two Ka-50s during test, because pilots tried to put this bird over it's speed and g limits. But all in all I think thats is great helicopter.

[MarshallJukov]

This possibility not more possible than single rotor heli will damage its tail ferm

[FetidToecheese]

Looks very stable

[johndoe528]

looks so badass

[coronapack]

my favorite freaken chopper!!

[hybirdisdf]

It aint come in cheap price!Impossible

[jalinor100]

utyujgj

[dissectionfreak]

this chopper is amazing! such awesome firepower! but real quick wats name of this song?

[dhulcarnein]

the music is excelent

[illidanwashere772]

they should make more of this thing!

[russiaviation]

To me, my dream would be able to fly on the SU-30, MIG 25 and of course this awesome KA-50 Black shark!!!!!!!!!!!!! today, with around $30 thousand dollars you could do almost just that! Gotta save some fast!!! SWEET !!!!!!!!

[Keikomozona]

Great technology ! my dream is to be a russian soldier !

[ruhackteam]

Разработки КБ Камов просто впечетляют Россия Рулит!!!!

[Cypher200kid]

It may be made from junk, but I believe it is still the best attack helicopter in the world. In terms of survivability, its far better than any other.

[dogchoon]

Well, Its ugly...Still...Its Russian...so its probably made from old bean cans and selotape...( i worked on Russian planes aight, I know)And like a high percentage of Russian junk...put up against European or American hardware and it always gonna end the same...A fuckin duck shoot.

Please....

[Fozzi19894]

Мудак он и Африке мудак, тем более в Англии.

Try to translate.

[nicck]

Actually that's untrue...Hinds have shot down a lot more supercobras than the other way round. And I happen to like the look of russian equipment more.

[TheHunter105]

it would be like russian roulette march ten pace turn and shoot lmao still no matter what anyone says they are great helo's they pack a punch and if either apeared over the tree line im running for the hills

[injunjoe390]

it has superior flight controls, target aquisiton, and firepower. But make no mistake, the Ka-50 is excellent as far as Russian engineering goes

[injunjoe390]

I hope it fights better than it looks

[SovietWarrior]

The Crapache? It neither fights nor looks very well. A bit of Iraqi sand, and doooown it goes.

[nicck]

A bunch of rebels managed to get one down with AK47's didn't they? God I remember that one the news...

The hind? You can't even dent it with a 50 cal.

[livadi9]

During the iraq war most apaches got hit by gun fire. One was downed by a farmer with an ordinary gun:-)

[Aw0L74]

@livadi9 It doesn't matter what you're flying, if a round hits the right spot, you're falling outta the sky. No helicopter is impervious to gunfire & the 1 that is (total armor) would be too heavy to get off the ground. Whether you get hit or not has nothing to do with what you're flying, it's the pilot flying it that's to blame.

[Simbirsk2130]

@nicck Bullshit. A bunch of rebels managed to get shot by it, which is no surprise, really.

[illidanwashere772]

How come it got 2 rotors?

[RandomTask01]

The dual, oppositely rotating rotors eliminate the need for a tail rotor, increasing performance.

[zibbaen]

Yep, I read somewhere that 30% of the power on a conventional helicopter goes to the tail rotor. Which mean, this helicopter is about 30% stronger than it would be with a tail rotor. That's pretty much.

[dogchoon]

One DAM UGLY helicopter....Typical Russian Junk....

[SovietWarrior]

For definition of uglinesss, check out any Yank chopper. Like that bent tincan Chinook for example. They should be shot out of the air on purely aesthetic grounds.

[TheHunter105]

typhical american alwas thinks their crap is the best

[Noha307]

This will sound wierd but the Ka-50 was featured in the computer game Hard Truck 2, a trucking game(wtf) as a police helicopter.

Btw what does the NATO name HOKUM have to do with manuverability it is named that because all Russian helicopter are given names starting with "H".

[AntonTheRusskiy]

The best there are K50 takes only one person to control and it has an ejection seat. Vertical acceleration is twice faster than opponents + it is super maneuverable that is why NATO code name is HOKUM. It is unique among gunships. It is better than western analogs by every parameter. Who ever doesn't agree please make research.

[zxcv445]

"Please make research," that was a little cocky of you. The coaxial rotor design is more efficient and stable than the traditional main-tail rotor design. But that is where the advantage for the Ka-50 ends. In relation to the latest and greatest the USA has to offer, the AH-64D, the Ka-50 is lacking and would be a better challenger to the AH-1.

[TaNkPsYcoTic]

wont lie this is prob better than an apache

[zibbaen]

Test bed, maybe. Technology demonstrator, maybe. But not actual gunship. And it doesn't even matter, because you can't compare the Ka-50 with the Comanche; the latter would've been an armed scout.

[mirofo86]

how does the song called??

[bigbastarrd]

kinda old

[UnCanadienFrancais]

WHat a chopper !

[twisted87arab]

the art of how to kill each other

[slavatiger]

pizdets the best helicopter around.. my favorite looks sick and kills like a mother fucker. i want one for my birth day

[zombie18d]

how good will this one perform against an apache or a comanche please dont take it bad just from avionics or performance-weaponry-point of view ??

[SovietSpetznaz]

i think it will destroy apache, it will rape apache.

[zombie18d]

this question was made for people with some i.q. or some serious knoleged

my question was meant for the well known not for the ignorant back off-tovarick want to be dosvidania

[trasogus]

Aren't you being ignorant? Or rather, you get the same kind of answer as the question itself. If you want a professional opinion seek it some where else, where professionals generally leave their opinions and even with that, if you pose a technical question here, an answer to which in reality would be a combination of a top secret information from two countries, then you must be a retard.

[zombie18d]

trasogus -1rst you dont said retard you said mentally chalenge,2nd you said that because your I.Q ? I respect that! you recognize your mental negligence,3rd a lot of people in you tube are knolageble in several topics you will be amazed-have a good day my cromosome shorted ignorant friend-zombie 173rd soc 18delta

[vexed123]

what a complete fuck up!!! we don't need to search for top secret info u moron, we're happy with what we got here, if u don't like it, get fucked!!!!

[lominho]

attack helicopters are not meant to take out each others!!!! they rarely are in position to do so anyway.

[zibbaen]

They're not designed to take out aerial targets, but they can take AA missiles with them.

But if you want to compare the Ka-50 to the AH-64, the scenario shouldn't be AA combat. It should be air-to-ground.

And I prefer the Ka-50, it's way - way - cooler. Only the Americans think the Apache is cooler, since... well, it's american!! -_-

[vexed123]

exactly, these are two fighter helicopters, if we want to compare the performance, we have to measure it the right way... ground targets...

they will never dogfight face to face...

and i like Ka-50 too :)

[zombie18d]

zibbaen-remenber that the most advance helo in the usa is not the apache but the comanche a9 i dont know if is cooler but i know is a very capable craft-seeya-173rd soc 18delta

[zibbaen]

Yes, the Comanche would've been the most advanced helicopter (although it would've been an armed scout). But the project was canceled in 2004, so we'll never see those choppers in action.

[zombie18d]

zibbaen-there are several plataforms of the comanche out there.dont quote me but i think like 9 or 10 airborne capable,d.o.d use them as test bed i have the pleasure 2 see 1 and it was a mean package specialy the internal weapons bay awesome-vini-vidi-vinci-zombie­173rd soc 18delta

[longbowgold67]

Yeah there was no point to them, with the way UAVs were progressing and stuff.

[Noha307]

Dude I am an American and I love that thing, it could kick an Apaches ass.

[TheHunter105]

i think all attack helo's are cool but in a "helicopter dogfight" they would prob both shoot AA missles then both fall from the sky lol unless they can move extremely fast

[B777LR]

It is currently the most advanced battle helicopter around. Its also the first and only helicopter to have ejection seat. It doesnt need any vulnerable tail rotor.

My favorit helicopter

[Kenzofeis]

For female pilots it even coems with an erection seat

[richboy900]

My fav helicopter

[baddbradd]

Go the Werewolf....gotta be careful tho' when you "lock on" to a target, it engages the auto pilot and the whole bird goes gung ho to hunt it down...a little scary at first....
