Operational history
Ka-50 took part in the Russian Army's anti-terrorist operations against rebels in the Chechen Republic. In December 2000, a pair of production Ka-50s arrived to the area. With the Ka-50s was a Ka-29, to provide reconnaissance and target designation. On January 6, 2001, the Ka-50 used live weapons against a real enemy for the first time. On January 9, at the entry into a mountain gorge in the area of a settlement named Komosomolskoye, a single Ka-50 accompanied by an Mi-24 used S-8 unguided rockets to destroy a warehouse full of ammunition belonging to Chechen insurgents. On February 6, in the forest covered mountain area to the south of the village of Tsentoroj, the strike group composed of two Ka-50s and the sole Ka-29 discovered and, from a range of 3 km, destroyed a fortified camp of insurgents using two "Vikhr" guided missiles. February 14, saw a similar strike group carrying out a "hunting" mission in the area of Oak-Yurt and Hatun. In difficult conditions, pilots found and destroyed eight targets. These missions tested the type's airframe, as well as its on-board systems and armament. Its successful performance in difficult, mountainous terrain once again confirmed the usefulness of the many advanced features of the Ka-50's design, including its power and maneuverability.[6]
It is unclear if the type has been used in combat since. However, it has participated in a number of exercises. Most notable has been "Boundary 2004" which took place on the Edelweiss mountain range in Kyrgyzstan, in August 2004. Once again the "Hokum" demonstrated its advantages by operating at a high altitude and an air temperature of more than 30 °C. A Ka-50 provided cover for the landing of troops and than successfully worked on the ground targets using its cannons and rockets.[6]
India issued a request for proposal for 22 attack helicopters for the Indian Air Force in May 2008.[15] The Kamov Ka-50 along with Mil's Mi-28 and Eurocopter's Tiger were the front-runners for this order as of October 2008.[16][dated info]
Jordan is negotiating for the purchase of Ka-52 helicopters in 2010.
