Like engines and important components!
I beg to differ after playing it for a bit, from missies, no, because they have a heavy ass flak jacket and I believe some pilots utilize the titanium “lobster” like armor like they did in Afghanistan. Bullets, not so well off.
Oh no he’s replying 😱😱😱
These are all systems incorporated before the KA-50 program even started in 1977. The AH-64 and A-10 actually share a lot in common.

I could say the same about the Ka-50 and Su-25, so what’s your point behind that comment?
IIRC the A-10 doesn’t have a Boron-carbide-Kevlar composite armor.
Excuse me?
What mental asylum do you come from?

So essentially a spaced anti-fragmentation armor?
Yeah they share a lot in common. Both are CAS aircraft that were designed to increase crew survival rates. With up armoring the cockpit, triple redundant measures, and spacing the engines high and apart.
I’m fairly certain it’s baron-carbide/kevlar. They are 2 separate elements put together. I believe Boron-carbide/Kevlar was delivered with the 64 in 81. So if you want to claim the the 50 is the reason for it will be just an argument of who thought of it first. Unless you have documents to back up the 50 getting first.
Yes!..The spaced armor is steel and aluminum.Bullets cracked and high-explosive shells (OFS) exploded against the first layer, and the second delayed the fragments formed. During the tests, the opaque armor withstood hits from armor-piercing DShK bullets from a distance of 100 m, as well as 20 mm OFS.

I think the engines have a TWR of 11:1 not the aircraft.
Where did i mention the aircraft being 11:1
Yes, and I’ve also found out about the concept of time. You see, the way time works is that it only goes one way and something which happened in the 1980s can’t have effected something which happened in the 1970s.
Boron-carbide is its own material, with a Kevlar back, yes, I know this.
I never said that the Ka-50 got boron-carbide armor.
Don’t be a rude ass, even if you don’t mean too you come across as one. I’ll reply with the quote
See?
Ahh gotcha. When you mentioned the armor I thought you were saying the both had that.
No, as in the Ka-50 and Su-25 both having engines able to tank a few stingers. Good armor. And amazing survivability.
