Russian Helicopters presence at Dubai Air Show

[RavenOne]

I popped into Dubai Air show last weekend jus for the first day and Russian Helicopters JSC had a nice presence with MI28NE Night Hunter and Naval version of the KA52 Alligator for First time and the KA226T Climber as well as MI171A2 so here are my photos.

cheers

Strange that only 28NE and no 28NM. Also are there photos of 52K from the side? Wanna see which DIRCM it has installed.

Note the double pylon for product 305. Interesting.

I am especially appreciative of the Ka-228(?) photos. Thank you. Seems a marvelous bit of kit that should be getting more attention with those who operate in urban environments.

I wonder if it's possible to make quadruple one.

Were they just at the airshow or were they courting buyers.

Those "stacked" rocket pods on the Ka-52 make for some serious flat plate drag. The six pack missile launcher is a pretty cool idea.

I would have thought that Kamov would would have put the new pods through some serious testing before allowing the new pods onto the Ka-52.

Weight. 305 is not a small missile.

305 weights 105 kg. 105x4 = 420kg. Add 80 or so kilos for launcher.
I think it's possible to have 4 of them.
