The invention related to the field of aviation, in particular to a rotorcraft.

His first designs (a preliminary study, which was presented by 80-year-old Sergey Miheev, General Designer of the Kamov Bureau) of an advanced offensive helicopter, appeared in the western media, namely the Defense Blog (30 November 2018).

However, the information at which stage of development is found is minimal. The Defense Blog does not specify when and where the photos were taken. At what stage of development is the system (rotorcraft) also currently unknown?

According to minimal information, the rotorcraft will have infrared emitting (IR) limiting systems according to the manufacturer.

The aerodynamic configuration of the helicopter (rotorcraft) is based on the “Delta” wing in conjunction with the "canards" on the front, on the small lateral LERX extensions that form an integral part of the helicopter (rotorcraft). The wing sweep angle on leading edge is stated as 50 degrees. 

Military version Kamov.

To reduce the weight of the helicopter, extensive use of reinforced synthetic materials will take place across the structure of the helicopter.

The rotorcraft will likely be fitted with ejected seats (depending on the Ka-50/52 versions). Few elements have been announced (in the presentation) of the weapons the helicopter will carry. According to the pictures of the show, the vessel will have internal weapon compartments capable of carrying various missiles, bombs of the Russian arsenal. The rotorcraft will carry a thrust engines on the rear (fitted with nozzles).

The Kamof model, as shown by television, Roskosmos TV, in the documentary "TsAGI 100 Years: Science and Flight".

According to the information leaked on the rotorcraft, it can achieve a maximum speed of up to 700 km/h.

Helicopter speed combined (rotorcraft).

If judged by the Rospatent (Russian Federal Service for Intellectual Property), it was registered on 04.10.2016 by Miheev titled "High Speed Helicopter" (rotorcraft). The similarity is obvious!
