“The Ka-52 attack helicopter has taken part in the Dubai Airshow for the first time. During the flight program, the pilots showed everything that the helicopter is capable of so that potential customers could assess its high performance characteristics,” the press office of the Russian Helicopters Group told TASS.

The crew demonstrated maneuvers used in real air combat, including flying at a low speed with rotation, rearward acceleration to a speed of 100 km/h, combat turn, vertical climb with rotation, spiral descent, etc.
