Members of the American delegation who visited the Dubai Airshow 2023 showed interest in the Russian helicopter Ka-52 ("Alligator", according to NATO classification - Hokum B), said the head of Rostec Sergey Chemezov on the opening day of the exhibition.
According to him, this is not about industrial espionage, as foreign guests would not have been able to "disassemble the equipment".
They just showed interest in the helicopter as a participant in military actions

Chemezov emphasized that the Ka-52 has proven itself well and is known around the world.
The combat reconnaissance and strike helicopter Ka-52 (developed by designers of JSC "Kamov", produced on the capacities of JSC "Progress") was first presented by "Rosoboronexport" at the air show in the UAE. The exposition also included a range of weapons for the aircraft. It is noted that international experts called the Ka-52 the best in its class.
Previously, it was reported that the Ka-52M helicopter will receive new radar equipment, which will allow the pilot to strike the enemy in zero visibility conditions.
