In this article, we want to talk about one of the best examples of Russian combat helicopters, which, unfortunately, has not received proper application in the army. It will be about the K-50 “Black Shark” helicopter, which the military dubbed the “Werewolf” overseas.
In the early 80s of the last century, military engineers and designers were tasked with creating an aircraft that could replace the outdated MI-24 at that time. The K-50 project won the competition and was accepted for development.
This aircraft had a number of differences from similar machines of that time. The main difference was that the K-50 crew consisted of one person, while other helicopters included two people in their crew. The reason why the developers went to reduce the number of crews was that in an air battle, the time to make a decision is extremely limited and one person will certainly make a decision faster than two pilots who would need to spend time coordinating actions.
The armament of the K-50 was also very diverse. In addition to the standard 32-mm cannon, several missiles were placed on board the helicopter, and in addition it was capable of carrying bombs of various calibers on board.
However, despite such technical excellence, the K-50 did not receive mass distribution in the army. In 1995, he was adopted, but formally. Due to financial difficulties of that time, only a dozen cars were created , and soon the “Black Shark” was replaced by a more modern K-52 Alligator helicopter.
In the comments, write whether the Russian Ministry of Defense should have abandoned such a project. Also try to answer the question whether it makes sense to reanimate the K-50, modify it and put it back in service today.
