Ka-50 Last flight?

[Hawk6201]

As it says in the title, when was the last flight of the Ka-50 and how many are remaining to this day? Also where are they?

They're all in Torzhok, the centre for what used to be Army aviation (now incorporated into the Aerospace Forces). There's no specific information, but the vague and little I could find suggests the 16 or so remaining units are still in active use.

I hope you are right, that thing looks too good to be retired. :D

Their still kicking, I have no source but I can assume that their just using them for weapon testing for the KA-52

I still see the Ka-52 in allot of Russian news photos, also I think Egypt jut bought 46. I agree it is one bad a$$ looking helo but unfortunately that dose not win battles...or maybe it dose :thumbup:

Looking back at old literature, did people use to think they were Ka-34s or something?

I have no information about that.

I have no information about that.

I found Ka-34 referenced in an old military journal and it also seems to be the nomenclature used in scale modelling. It also brings up the Ka-50 on a Google search.
