d0ppler Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Was reading a bit about the shark, and even though we know that what wikipedia claims, you can't trust 100% on the information provided there. Anyway it claims that as of 2006, it has only been built 16 Ka-50's. Is it really true? Wiki : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ka-50 A-10C, AV-8B, Ka-50, F-14B, F-16C, F-5E, F/A-18C, L-39, Mi-8, MiG-21, MiG-29, SA34, Spitfire, Su-27, Su-33, UH-1H
Boberro Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) Recently I read polish article about Ka-50: http://www.altair.com.pl/start-2319 I can say production in Arsaniev is finished and noone wanna buy these choppers. There are 2 choppers in factory. In all 2008 was built 3 Ka-50s, which one was moved to 344 (Training Centre ?). This is short info about Ka-50. In optimistic plans of Ministry of Defence there would be up to 30 Ka-52 (up to 2012), now they're saying about 12. Edited January 7, 2009 by Boberro Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
RvETito Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 12 is the reasonable number. This will include new built airframes and uncompleted Ka-50 airframes in Arsenyev. There will be no more single seaters production. "See, to me that's a stupid instrument. It tells what your angle of attack is.

ZaltysZ Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 After Cold War and fall of Soviet Union there are some changes to priorities. Now new toys are bought only when they are needed and only when there are enough funds to do that. Wir sehen uns in Walhalla.

Did you hear what our deficit is going to be this year? And it will increase next year.

Tango Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Are you a mercenary looking for that extra firepower and all-weather, all-terrain capability? Want additional stand-off range? Are you a war-lord looking to better arm your forces? Then the Ka-50 is for you! :D :D Best regards, Tango.
