      Moscow. 3 May. Interfax-AVN - Russia will supply about 20 reconnaissance-strike helicopters Ka-52 "Alligator" to Egypt by the end of the month, an informed source told Interfax.
       "Until May 30, the next installment of Ka-52 from 18-22 helicopters will be delivered to the Egyptian side," the source said.

       He recalled that in 2017, Egypt was transferred to a party of 15 helicopters, and all under the contract, it is necessary to supply 46 "Alligators".

       Earlier, the head of the holding "Russian Helicopters" Andrei Boginsky said that in 2018 the company will produce about 25 combat Alligators, six of them are intended for the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the rest - for export.

       "Last year, 27 helicopters were produced (Arseniev Aircraft Company (AAC) Progress-IF), this year the volume is about 25 helicopters," A.Boginsky said while visiting the plant.
     
      He noted that in comparison with 2016 the volume of manufactured products increased more than twofold, as the export contract was added to the supply under the state defense order.

       In November, the press service of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC) of Russia told Interfax that "the contract for the delivery of Ka-52 helicopters to Egypt is being implemented in accordance with the previously agreed schedule."

       Earlier, Egyptian media reported that in September, Egypt received a new batch of Ka-52 attack helicopters.

       The combat reconnaissance-strike helicopter Ka-52 "Alligator" is serially produced for the needs of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation since 2010. The helicopter is designed to destroy tanks, armored and unarmored combat vehicles, manpower, helicopters and other enemy aircraft at the forefront and in tactical depth, in all weather conditions and at any time of the day.

       The export version of the Ka-52 is a modification of the serial combat helicopter. Unlike the basic model, the Alligator for a foreign customer is manufactured using anticorrosive materials and has a reinforced fuselage design. It is equipped with new chassis racks and wheels, designed to increase the take-off mass of the helicopter.

       The Ka-52 in the export version has a new onboard defense complex and a sighting station, which provides a greater range of detection and recognition of targets. The helicopter is also equipped with an updated complex of on-board equipment, an objective control system, an advanced digital video registration system, and a new cooling system that provides helicopter operation in a hot climate.
