The authors of the material refer to the publication of the photo on the network - they can see the elements of the helicopter design, which were borrowed from other machines. Among them is a pilot cabin, a vertical stabilizer and a tail. Experts say that cannibalization is to install on one unit of equipment of parts with different production codes.
Although this practice is not something unusual, especially in wartime, KA-52 PCS helicopters continue to be operated using parts obtained from other machines. "This situation is due to the long -term operation of helicopters in combat, which led to regular losses, damage and wear. " - experts emphasized.
In addition, the Aligators Park suffered significant losses in the Ukrainian fields of battles, which makes the cannibalization one of the solutions in the lack of equipment and spare parts deficiency. Since the beginning of the invasion of 2022, more than 40 Russian Ka-52 was destroyed, another 20 helicopters were damaged or captured.
Considering that by 2022 there were about 130 cars at the disposal of the PCS, the situation with this type of weapons remains extremely difficult - almost 50% of helicopters have been lost, damaged or enthusiastic. Earlier it was reported that the Russian army is carefully testing the modernized KA-52M helicopter, which was equipped with a new circular inspection. The enemy thus find out whether KA-52m can conduct intelligence and capture goals in different weather conditions around the clock.
