Is this the one with the foldable and collapsable rotors?

 

*google*

 

Ka-52K, has been selected as the new ship-borne attack type for the Russian Naval Aviation (RNA). It will feature folding rotor blades, folding wings and life-support systems for the crew members, who will fly in immersion suits. The fuselage and systems will be given special anti-corrosion treatment and a new fire-control radar will be capable of operating in "Sea Mode" and of supporting anti-ship missiles. RNA will need no fewer then 40 Ka-52Ks, the first of which is tentatively slated to enter squadron service by late 2014 or early 2015

6 pylons. I wonder if that's related to the anti-ship missiles it's supposed to carry?

Is that the gun mounted on the left side?

 

As a more general question, what role do helicopters play in anti-ship warfare? Are they a great choice for delivering missiles against enemy ships, or would F/A aircraft be better suited to that? I really don't know much about surface warfare.
