Are you sure those are RWR antennas? #25 is the only Ka-50 that is equipped with experimental laser jammers, I think that might be what those are.

I don't think they're RWR antennae either, but AFAIK the laser jammers were mounted in FLIR-like ball turrets near the main landing gear. My guess would be that they're infrared missile approach warner lenses.

 

EDIT: Have a look below the rocket pod in the first picture. Behind the open access panel you can actually see what I'm talking about, that metallic semisphere is what I believe to be one of two laser jammer turrets.

This is L- 140 Otklik laser warning system... will we see this in Black Shark ?

Give me "flying telephone pole" (SA-2)!

Maybe L-136 Mak? ;) IR warning system.

Ka-50N. Night-attack version w/ FLIR turret.

 

Ka-50Sh actually.

 

As for the above pictures, as was said, those are not RWR antennae, but warning/jamming system for protection from IR SAMs (presumably the MANPAD threat). Supposed to work by detecting and analyzing rocket ignition, which identifies the particular missile and (semi?)automatically take defensive measures, which would include maneuvering, flare despensing, and missile seeker jamming. This is way beyond 'Mak'.

 

AFAIK, neither of these versions has reached service with the military, although the latter aircraft did participate in a training excercise in central asia, I believe.

Maybe it is just me, but I looked at the first picture and instead of thinking about laser / missile warning systems, I was thinking could Han add a rainbow into the weather in Black Shark ?

After all, we already have the sun peeking throught the overcast....;)

Sorry Death, you lose! It was Professor Plum....

Yep - I'd say strobes before rainbows, but if there's someone working on the lights & someone else on the weather, & the weather guy wants something to do during his evening off ...

Cheers.

1 - The small white bumps are actually the IFF antenae. The forward hemisphere Otklik laser warning sensor can be seen adjacent to the Shkval optics. Everything else is right, AFAIK.
