Russian Z-channels report that a Russian army mobile fire group , created to combat Ukrainian drones, shot down a Russian Ka-52 helicopter near Voronezh. One pilot ejected, but the second died due to a system malfunction. Z-channel correspondents are outraged, calling the incident the first known case of "friendly fire" by such groups and admitting that the system is malfunctioning. Amid massive Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries, Russia has begun copying the Ukrainian experience of mobile fire teams. In the regions, teams are being created based on BARS systems: pickup trucks equipped with machine guns or portable anti-aircraft missile systems.
Russian Z-bloggers write about the chaos in preparation and coordination. Military correspondent Romanov claimed that the Ka-52 was shot down by a "clumsy mobile task force," and that those responsible should be held accountable not formally, but actually. He claimed that such groups are armed and begin firing mindlessly "at the target."
In Russia, there are no uniform standards for the use of mobile task forces, no common target acquisition system, and no proper coordination between regions. Sometimes, the groups are armed with obsolete Maxim machine guns, which were adopted back in 1905. Other Z-authors acknowledge that untrained soldiers who have never fired a machine gun before may end up in mobile task forces. UAV developer Alexey Chadayev also complains that regional counter-drone groups often leave drones alone if they're flying "not at their target."
Russian forces actively use Ka-52 helicopters in the war against Ukraine, including for frontline attack missions. The aircraft have also periodically been used to intercept Ukrainian long-range attack drones. The Ka-52 has suffered heavy losses during Russia’s full-scale war. According to Oryx data cited in the report, Russia has already lost more than 60 helicopters of this type. The Ka-52 “Alligator” is one of Russia’s most recognizable attack helicopters and is used for anti-armor missions, close air support, and strikes near the front line. Its continued losses remain significant because the aircraft is expensive, specialized, and difficult to replace quickly.
The helicopter is a development of the earlier Ka-50 Black Shark and entered serial production in 2011. A modernized version, the Ka-52M, began entering service in 2022.
The Alligator can operate day or night, in poor weather, and at high speed. It can reach up to 300 km/h, or 186 mph, while its cruising speed is around 260 km/h. Powered by two VK-2500 gas-turbine engines, it has an operational range of roughly 500 kilometers. The helicopter has a maximum takeoff weight of 10,800 kilograms, a service ceiling of 5.5 kilometers, and can carry a combat load of up to 2,800 kilograms.
One of the Ka-52’s key systems is its nose-mounted GOES-451 electro-optical targeting suite, which allows the helicopter to detect and identify targets at range. Targeting data can be shared in real time with other Russian units through battlefield management systems.
