Does the Ka-52 even have a (color) visual camera?
I've only seen them using (apparently) MWIR thermals and monochromatic NIR (or SWIR).
It would have to because thermals are useless in rain and dense kinds of smoke and fog.
>and dense kinds of smoke and fog.
Are you moronic?
Thermals (LWIR and MWIR) can see through fog and smoke as long as they're aren't hot. They can see though oil and water smoke/fog. Vis/NIR spectrum are easier to obstruct.
You have never seen real fog in your life.

You've never seen real smoke in your life.
homie fog is not smoke
fog is dense water patricles
smoke is DUST
Yeah, in fact both are colloids, the difference is particle size (some fogs are larger) but the IR is always less affected because its wavelength +10 times longer (Tyndall scattering).
That aside the advantage of thermal is that it's easier to see object through 'smoke' if the object itself is an emitter, unlike NIR or vis you can't avoid emit IR. Even if some smoke makes the visibility in the IR far worse you still can see some hot objects behind it. Of course a really thick fog or a wall are opaque enough even for the IR.
homie water absorbs IR
stop being an idiot
>niggi witir ibisirbi IRI
Yes moron, but the matter is HOW MUCH compared to visual.
Read homie read.

if you can't see with LWIR then you can't see with vis, asat

>Yes moron, but the matter is HOW MUCH compared to visual.
you cant see shit period if flir was able to see through fog it sure as hell it can see through clouds which....is fog
and guess what
Particle size moron.
oh god its not the particle that matters its the DENSITY you idiot
Particles length then wavelength can't stop radiation.
Water vapors in atmosphere indeed absorbs IR (like others gases in the atmosphere). But they do it as spectral lines. Radiation passes through gaps.
Do tanks deploy smoke or fog for concealment?
>Do tanks deploy smoke or fog for concealment?
They deploy IR obscurant smokes for IR and visual concealment or conventional smokes for visual concealment. They are not the same, for example one can see through visual obscurants using sensors to kill the enemy.
>smokes
It stands to reason that its a fog.
You'll be surprised
at the start of the war there was a russian milblogger that said nearly all of them are different from each other depending on parts available during construction, some have french thermals some "russian made" ones, some have british laser warning systems some have empty ones (which is proably how the stugna clips came to be).......whatever was at hand.
so i'm sure some have them and some only have monos.
some yes, some Ka52s have the camera above the wienerpit, other below, it's very messy because Russians being both poor and corrupt mixed the lots so each one is unique in a way
>unique, hand-built, irreplaceable relics
something something Russia is 40k
With the Ka-52, they are specifically the faction that thinks it's a good idead to:
>reduce armor
>reduce sensors and electronics
>degrade flight characteristics and endurance
>add more weapon hardpoints
Which Ork faction steals the most? Probably the Freebootas huh cos the anal sex is implied in the pirate theme. Blood Axes at least into tactics
Deffskullz are the loota faction.
It’s a shame because I love how they look.
>Does the Ka-52 even have a (color) visual camera?
It has daylight white and black camera.
Also it has direct view periscope above wienerpit (like tank gun sight) but you can't conviniently record view from there.
>Does the Ka-52 even have a (color) visual camera?
>I've only seen them using (apparently) MWIR thermals and monochromatic NIR (or SWIR).
it uses an SNES superscope, adapted for vatnik rocket launchers
this is the power of sanckshoooooooooons
SIRS
What could the Ukies have done to counter the Ka52 given nobody can fly safely beyond their lines? Even if they had a radar to tell them it was there do they have anything capable of hitting it? If this is the new meta and Ukraine doesn't have the attack helis to counter then they're pretty boned.
No point of using VIS if NIR gives enemies glowing
>An Apache pilot thinks this attack took place at night because of the contras
Well it's obvious. in sunlight you ain't gonna get tracks hotter than hull and turret lit by sunlight.
>Literally destroy a nato column.
This ka-52 chopper is based.
Unrelated. Also, ghost of kiev. Shhh
>context is king and queen
what did he mean by this?
an apache for comparison
