I assume the squared off wingtip front is the guidance antenna for the new missiles?
Wow! Mi-28 firing a missile. It seems to spiral the same way as Vikhr.
I included the origin links below the photos. They contain detailed info about the photo. I find the inclusion important for people interested as I spend lots of time digging up the originals from the posts of others.

ДА!!!
Sorry for writing in English. I speak Russian but typing this would take an hour.
I know it's not happening but what systems would be possible to model? FLIR, MWS/DIRCM and what else?
Does this mean ED has information on how systems like the MWS/DIRCM works?
If yes, is it possible that you could shed some information on how for example MWS works in Ka-50? Like how it's displayed in the cockpit etc.
I'm not getting my hopes up, but thanks anyway Yo-Yo. I shall dream!
Sorry for reviving but Yo-Yo just injected some christmas spirit into me. ;)
The below is from Russian side poll that is asking if people would pay for additional avionics for Ka-50. Needless to say I voted yes but of course it's still far from happening.
...But!

Great pics Namenlos! I so wish our DCS Shark would get MWS/DIRCM!
One thing I've been wondering is what's the main AGM for Ka-52? What are these in this picture? Vikhrs with new tube, older missile or the new one (I don't remember the damn name)?

Nice! Would love to have that in the Shark. Finally something from Russia that's more advanced than in the west. That's of course alot of weight and drag though.

It's 30 mm, not .30 cal. .30 cal is 0,3 inches which in millimeters is 7,62 which is the same as AK-47 round. The Apache cannon is not supposed to be headshot accurate, it's an area support weapon and uses the fragments to kill.
I would not pay. Donate, yes if I had extra money. Like other people have said, external 3D models aren't the most needed part despite the high respect to the modellers. If you want to sell some stuff, the most needed are;
- modules (helicopters for me)
- 3D pits
- maps (my biggest wish)
- perhaps packs with multiple models as others have mentioned
A book about Seawolves in the Mekong delta. If this is anything like the stories in the above link, I'm buying this! That stuff was just as good as Chickenhawk.

Chickenhawk. A must read for every Huey pilot (and definately every other helicopter pilot)!

Some great Vietnam photos in general including many Hueys. Some of them are graphic.

The Seawolves operated from this kind of ships and similar barges.
