Not much is known about this new and heavily updated version of the KA-50.

This information was converted from www.russian.ee by babelfish....it has some good info: KA -50-2 "Erdogan" is the deep modernization of widely known combat helicopter kA -50 "black shark" . KA -50-2 became the sum of the joint operation of the Russian vetoletnoy firm Of "kamov", goskompaniyey "rosvooruzheniye" and Israeli companies - the producer of aeronautical equipment IAI - Israyel Of airchraft Of industriyes Of ltd.Design concept "Erdogan" arose approximately 2.5 ago, when Turkey declared about the intention to completely renew its park of combat helicopters.Russia then already had the finished helicopter kA -50 "black shark" , which was released in a quantity in all several copies because of the absence of financial means for the starting/launching into a series.Nevertheless even prototypes are considerable vpechatlili of specialists by their tactical-technical characteristics.Our side produces basic machine part, which received designation kA -50-2 "Erdogan" , whereas Israelis equip helicopter with avionics and antitank missiles.In the percent relationship/ratio this looks like by 80 to 20.Potential buyer was introduced to kA -50-2 by the past summer.Turks remained contented seen.True, they asked about the introduction of some changes.Thus, pilots it was necessary to plant not next, but after each other, but gun they made mobile. This is kA -50-2 highly effective multipurpose all-weather combat helicopter intended for the accomplishment of the following objectives: The destruction of tanks and lightly armored targets, for which the helicopter is equipped with supersonic PTUR "vortex/eddy" with the distance of destruction of ground targets to 8 km; Conducting reconnaissance of ground targets.For this on the helicopter are established/installed the stabilized television and infrared sensors, which make it possible to determine target/purpose on the distance of 20 km into the day and 13 km in the night time; Direct fire support of ground forces; Destruction of aerial targets by rockets "air-to-air" Shielding systems kA -50-2 are included: Circular armoring of cab, which ensures protection from 12.7- mm of armor-piercing bullets and from the splinters 23- mm of projectiles. the screening of engines, which decreases the intensity of IR-radiation and decreasing, thus, the kill probability by rockets with the IR- head of guidance. The system of the emergency recovery of crew, into which enter the ejection seats K -37-800 and the system of the shooting of blades/vanes. Construction/design. Fuselage has the nonhermetic monoblock structure of rectangular cross section, divided into several departments.Fuselage is built from the allyuminiyevykh alloys and the polymeric composite materials (organic plastic, carbon -fiber of plastics, honeycomb filler).The tail assembly consists of the vertical and horizontal fin, at ends of which are established/installed wide boundary layer fences. KA -50-2 has the small wings, which ensure additional lift and serve for the suspension of different armament and fuel tanks.Chassis is three-strut - forepart/nose and two back rests, which in flight are removed into the fuselage. Engines. KA -50-2 is equipped with two turbojet engines Of tve-yy"VMA, which develop power on 2200 ls on the takeoff. Avionics. Onboard radio-electronic equipment (BREO) of helicopter has the centralized architecture, which ensures the maximum integration of instruments and tools with control systems, which considerably facilitates control of helicopter.Control system is connected/bonded with two data buses it is dear -std-1553b MukhBus:the busbar/tire of weapon and the busbar/tire of avionics.The busbar/tire of weapon is built according to the protocol it is dear -stb-1760b it connects the processor of task and the processor of mapping information (MOS), which govern/control avionics, the device/equipment of the interface of armament (AIU), the multipurpose stabilized optical system of aiming (YUMOSP), the helmet sight of pilot (IYUS) and the wing stations of weapon.The busbar/tire of avionics connects the following subsystems:Of svyazi/Identifikatsii, to navigation, REB, etc. architecture with two busbars/tires ensures the functional independence of avionics and system of control of weapon, optimizes the flow of data and provides the possibility of integration with different weapon systems.BREO kA -50-2 makes it possible for helicopter to conduct combat operations in the daytime and at night under any weather conditions.

Systems REB. KA -50-2 is equipped with the systems both of active and passive electronic countermeasure.It enters into the content of this equipment: the receiver of warning/prevention about the irradiation by radar; warning system about the launch of rockets; the receiver of warning/prevention about the irradiation by laser; the system of the ejection of dipole reflectors and IR- traps. Armament. KA -50-2 can bear armament with a total weight of up to 2.5 tons.The base complete set of armament includes PTURy, rockets "air-to-air", gun and NURSy.They can enter into the composition of armament kA -50-2: 12 supersonic anti-tank guided missiles "vortex/eddy" with the laser guidance or 16 PTUR with the optico-electronic guidance; 4 rockets "air-to-air" of the type "Stinger"; rapid-firing 30- mm the automatic gun Of 2aya2 with the high initial velocity of projectile, the reserve of projectiles - 240 armor-piercing and 230 explosive-incendiary, rate of fire is regulated from 350 to 600 V/min; 80- mm of cassette NURS.
