This machine is widely reported whilst operating in the Ukraine War. Whilst so, not much is reported of what and how this machine operates or what it actually is. For this reason, is the purpose of the presentation.
The reason for only a url for access, is the photographs to be displayed and not lost in accessing.
The primary description is of a twin main rotor designed attack helicopter with a main crew of two seated side by side in a glassed in cockpit. With the twin main rotor configuration serves as a counter rotation mechanism eliminating the need for a tail rotor as a direction and stabilizer.
The following description is: Ka-52 Alligator is an all weather attack helicopter operated by the Russian Airforce. Developed by Kamov Design Bureau {Part of Russian Helicopter} being a variant of Ka-50 attack Helicopter.

It was good of you with replies in the manner of videos of these machines. In this manner, others will then recognize the types as reported in the various news with understanding if not previously known.

Pieter, Karl, yes these helicopters do not look very safe, they look more like the suicide mission. It is awful to think how many young people on both sites are killed in this war.

And old and Middle aged Ukrainians and Russians as well Jaga. It is sad too see these fearful old ladies escaping the last thing they had, their home. If this war last for to long we will see the same drama like at the end of the Second World War. A shortage of men and boys for the women and girls. Because the enormous losses on both sides will have demographic consequences.

Most appreciate your reply, for what you have brought forward with your reply is quite valid. Yes, these machines as described are inherently dangerous if not operated correctly. For they are rotary wing design aircraft and by their design, have no glide path if for some reason a malfunction results in loss of power, they just simply drop out of the sky or like a missile in to the ground.
With this excellent design, it is such shame to use as a weapon of combat in the stead for a stable plate form for agricultural use. But this is our world as it is.

Not only the machine is dangerous if not rightly piloted, but it is simply an easy target for the Ukrainian British Starstreak k surface-to-air missiles, Soviet era towed, road-transportable, short- to medium-range, single-barrel anti-aircraft gun AZP S-60, capture Russian ZU-23-2‘s, Soviet ZSU-23-4 Shilka‘s, and in the near future 50 Tracked armoured self-propelled anti-aircraft Flakpanzer Gepard guns.
Cheers, Pieter
