Humm... In the 1.2 screenshots of the cockpit, practically the entire area where that RWR sits is taken up by that big ol' electronic display (KABRIS?)

 

Linky

 

Makes me wonder how old that photo is. Also notice that there's an instrument missing beneath the Shkval TV screen.

Hmm, I swear I've seen lots of pictures with the Ka-50 carrying 4 Iglas (2 on each outer pylon), and those were from the nineties. But then again, I also have seen an image of the V-80 moch up, with 2 R-73s on the inner pulons.

 

Many good stuff can be hunged on statically exposed prototype aircraft, but it does not mean that the aircraft is able or even was intended sometimes to employ it. These missiles was planned on Ka-50, but actually was not retrofited yet.

I do not know clearly why Kamov design bureau got a rid of SPO-15. We talked with Ka-50 pilot about it and he said that now there are only some plans to incorporate some kind of RWR.

And... there is not so much Ka-50 helicopters with equal set of avionics systems. There is ongoing process of minor upgrades of some helicopters.

Not a big deal at altitutes about 30-50 meters I guess. Newest Ka-50 versions have MLWS though.

Still though, even if you fly 1 meter above the ground enemy plane can lock you up from tens of miles. It's impossible to mask yourself in this game using the radar noise that ground should give I guess. Flying low or very low works only against SAMs for now :(

(so low so grass gets caught into airframe, or behind buidlings, trees, other objects, etc.)

 

I was shot down in Su-25T by someone's BVR lock and fire while I was flying 30m and below many times.

And that's exactly how it should be. There are real-life examples of aircraft shooting at (not necessarily shooting down) other aircraft which were flying low. There is also an incident in which an F-15 destroyed a truck with a sparrow (I don't know the reason for this, but apparently it was asked to do some CAS as an emergency?) because the truck exceeded the notch gate and was plainly visible on radar.

I'm sure that Oleg will correct me if I am mistaken, but the image is from one of the prototypes (No 010 I believe).

Exactly "014"

Absolute right.No "014" it looks now so;

But Piotr Butowski writes that Ka-50 be equipped in SRO-2 "Chrom" and SPO-15 "Beryoza"
