升级版俄罗斯武装直升机卡-52M年底首次出厂-新华网 新华社莫斯科7月25日电 根据俄罗斯国防部计划，俄武装直升机（下称武直）卡-52的升级版 ——卡-52M将于今年12月首次完成改造换装并出厂，该机型在侦察、通信和武器性能方面将有较大提升。 据俄《消息报》日前报道，武直卡-52M名为“超级短吻鳄”，其研制合同于去年4月由俄军方与军工单位签订，目前首批2架该升级版武直正在俄“进步”航空航天集团公司的远东直升机制造厂接受改造换装，其国家级测试和改进收尾工作将于2022年10月前结束。 据了解上述升级工作的俄专家介绍，“超级短吻鳄”的“前辈”——武直卡-52于2011年11月正式列装，该机型在使用中暴露出一些弱点，此次改造升级正是为了“补短板”。 报道说，与卡-52相比，卡-52M将部分采用不会增加重量的新型防护材料，其飞行员座舱将被加固，配备抵御导弹攻击的新装备，从而增加战场生存概率；装配功率更大的发电机，以便为更加复杂的机载电子设备供电；光电系统升级，能够侦察、识别相距更远的战场目标；配备主要攻击装甲战车和钢筋混凝土防御工事的新式轻型多用途导弹，其射程达20公里，比俄现役武直使用的同类导弹射程提高约1倍；其防御武器和通信设备将最大限度地与可攻击空中目标的米-28NM武装直升机通用，从而使相关维护变得简便和经济。 此外，卡-52M将拥有更先进的电子制导系统、武器瞄准系统和导航设备。 俄专家还表示，值得关注的是卡-52M将配备与无人机联络的通信设备，从而在空中实时获得附近无人机传输的情报，例如在该直升机的座舱屏幕上显示无人机拍摄的影像。 按计划，卡-52M的飞行员能直接操控与其配合的无人机，从而提高飞行员对战场形势的掌握和对远程导弹的制导。 据俄媒体报道，俄国防部副部长克里沃鲁奇科在去年12月曾表示，俄国防部计划在2027年前购买110多架武直卡-52M。
The upgraded Russian armed helicopter card -52M was delivered for the first time at the end of the year - www.xinhuanet.com Xinhua News Agency, Moscow, July 25 – According to the plan of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Ka -52M, the upgraded version of the Russian armed helicopter (“Armed Helicopter”) Ka -52, will be transformed, refitted and delivered for the first time in December this year, which will greatly improve its reconnaissance, communication and weapon performance. According to a recent report in the Russian Izvestia, the Armed Helicopter Ka -52M is called “Super Alligator”, and its development contract was signed between Russian military and military industrial units in April last year; at present, the first two upgraded Armed Helicopters are undergoing renovation and replacement in the Far East Helicopter Factory of Russia’s “Progress” Aerospace Corporation, and its national testing and improvement finishing work will be completed before October 2022. According to Russian experts who understand the above upgrading work, the Armed Helicopter Ka -52, the “predecessor” of the “Super Alligator”, was officially installed in November 2011, and some weaknesses were exposed in the use of this model; and this transformation and upgrading is just to “fill the shortcomings”. It is reported that compared with the Ka -52, Ka -52M will partially adopt new protective materials that would not increase weight, and its cockpit will be reinforced and equipped with new equipment to resist missile attacks, thus increasing the survival probability of the battlefield; assemble more powerful generators to supply power to more complex airborne electronic equipment; the photoelectric system is upgraded to be able to detect and identify battlefield targets that are farther apart; the new light multi-purpose missile equipped with mainly attacking armored combat vehicles and reinforced concrete fortifications has a range of 20 kilometers, which is about double the range of similar missiles used by Russia's active military forces; and its defense weapons and communication equipment will be used in common with Mi -28NM helicopter gunships that can attack air targets to the maximum extent, thus making related maintenance simple and economical. In addition, Ka -52M will have more advanced electronic guidance system, weapon aiming system and navigation equipment. Russian experts also said that it was worth paying attention to that the Ka -52M would be equipped with communication equipment to communicate with unmanned aerial vehicles, so as to obtain information transmitted by nearby unmanned aerial vehicles in real time in the air, such as displaying images taken by unmanned aerial vehicles on the cockpit screen of the helicopter. According to the plan, the pilot of Ka -52M can directly control the UAV with which it cooperates, thus improving the pilot's mastery of the battlefield situation and the guidance of long-range missiles. According to Russian media reports, Krivoruchko, deputy minister of the Russian Ministry of Defense, said in December last year that the Russian Ministry of Defense planned to purchase more than 110 Armed Helicopter Ka-52Ms by 2027.
