The Kamov Ka-50 Black Shark, also known as the "Hokum A," is a single-seat attack helicopter developed by the Russian Kamov Design Bureau. It features a coaxial rotor system, where two rotors are mounted one above the other, eliminating the need for a tail rotor and providing enhanced agility and maneuverability. The Ka-50 is armed with a 30mm cannon and a variety of air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, making it highly effective in both anti-tank and close air support roles. It is equipped with advanced avionics and targeting systems, including a helmet-mounted sight for targeting and missile guidance. The Ka-50 has been primarily operated by the Russian military and has seen combat in various conflicts.
