The authors of the publication noted that the Ka-52s effectively combat unmanned aerial vehicles. Moreover, not only experienced officers, but also young pilots, achieve success in intercepting UAVs. It is reported that a few days ago, an officer of the 6th Air Force and Air Defense Army won his first victory in an aerial battle.

The "Alligators" are equipped with 30-mm 2A42 automatic cannons with 460 rounds of ammunition, which have been proven by years of operation.

The firing range for aerial targets is 2500 m. It is also possible to use Igla-V short-range air-to-air missiles with all-aspect dual-spectrum infrared homing heads and a launch range of up to 5200 m.

Earlier www1.ru reported that Russian soldiers have learned to effectively destroy heavy enemy Baba Yaga drones. They ram them with FPV drones.
