A pilot of a Ka-52M reconnaissance and attack helicopter of the Russian Aerospace Forces struck enemy armored vehicles at almost the maximum range (about 10100 - 10300 m). He used a 1.85-Mach anti-tank missile "Vikhr-1". This was stated by military expert Evgeny Damantsev.
He emphasized that the average speed of the Vikhr-1 ATGM reaches 510 m/s, and the maximum speed is 610 m/s.
The onboard multi-mode X-band AESA radar "Reзец" is capable of detecting targets of the "tank/BMP" type at a distance of up to 25 - 30 km.
Damantsev emphasized that this feature of the AESA radar is especially important when it comes to using Stormer HVM or Avenger SAM systems. These complexes pose a threat to the Ka-52.
