"A squadron of Ka-52 attack helicopters will be formed within the helicopter regiment by the beginning of a new combat training year that will start on December 1," the press office said. "Another nine helicopters will arrive for the squadron before the end of November," the press office added. On December 1, the squadron will start learning to operate the advanced helicopters and undergoing planned combat training. The pilots will undergo training at the Russian Defense Ministry’s Army Aviation Flight Personnel Combat Training and Retraining Center. The Ka-52 helicopter is designed to attack the enemy’s armored vehicles, manpower and rotorcraft. The Ka-52 helicopter can be operated by two pilots, which increases the effectiveness of its maneuvers and combat employment. |
