Ka-52M "Alligator" with the latest Monoblock optical complex learned to "repel" anti-aircraft missiles

The system suppresses the beam of the photodetector of the infrared homing head of the 9M39 missile

The latest airborne optical-electronic counteraction complex L-418 "Monoblock" for Ka-52M "Alligator" helicopters proved to be effective in countering anti-aircraft guided missiles, according to military expert Evgeny Damantsev.

According to him, after the launch of the 9M39 anti-aircraft missile (SAM) from the Igla anti-aircraft complex at the Ka-52M operating near the line of contact, the ultraviolet sensors of the Monoblock recorded the radiation of the rocket engine flare of the 9M39 SAM, and then issued spatial coordinates.

Using an SP3-1500 generating lamp, the turret module of the optical-electronic counteraction L418-5 forms a high-energy beam in the direction of the 9M39 SAM and blinds the photodetector of the infrared homing head (GOS) 9E410, sending the 9M39 anti-aircraft missile into "milk."
