Russian upgraded Ka-52M helicopters hit Ukraine’s army command center in Donetsk area

Russian modernized Ka-52M helicopters struck a Ukrainian army control center, armored vehicles and manpower in the Donetsk area, the Russian defense ministry said. The Ka-52M is an upgraded version of the Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopter. As the gunship’s designers say, the Ka-52M missile armament has been standardized with the weapons suite of the Mi-28NM helicopter, another state-of-the-art Russian attack gunship, which has helped increase its striking range considerably. The Ka-52M is also furnished with a new phased array radar station and longer-range missiles.
