Footage of the combat work of Ka-52 helicopter crews against low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has appeared online.
A missile, tracing a fiery needle across the dark sky, startled an observer. The low rumble of a helicopter served as the background to the event. The helicopter itself appeared in the frame at the end.
Ka-52Ms use heat-seeking missiles from Igla man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) to combat drones.
Helicopters of this type have proven themselves well as interceptors. The rotorcraft use Igla-V missiles with all-aspect dual-spectrum infrared homing heads, capable of shooting down airborne objects at a range of 5200 meters.
In addition, they are armed with 30-mm rapid-fire 2A42 cannons, which strike at 2500 meters. Ammunition load is 460 rounds.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that a new Rodnik 3D radar was created for the military, but it is unable to detect small drones.
