The residual value of the Ka-52 "Alligator" combat helicopter after decommissioning is 300 thousand rubles. This was announced by military pilot Alexey Voevoda.
He joked that one day he would buy one of these helicopters and put it in his country house.
Documentarily, the residual value of a written-off aircraft is 300 thousand rubles. But it will not be possible to buy it.
Voevoda added that the production of new "Alligators" in Russia has reached a serious level, but did not give exact figures.
It is a pity that they do not give official statistics. Many would be surprised.
The latest official information on the supply of a batch of Ka-52s to the Aerospace Forces dates back to August 2025. The exact number of aircraft in service with the military is classified.
