Warren Mil & Kamov are working on a design ... This is to be a KA-58 ... Kamov, was working on a helicopter with a coaxial rotor, where two main rotors are mounted above the fuselage and rotate in opposite directions. there is a on-going development of a 5th generation stealth Helo ... very hush hush on the net ... the model company got a hold of the plans ... the thing is on hold right now ... all I know.

Shades of Air wolf !!!

I also found this ....

Ka-58 was first introduced by the Russian model manufacturer Zvezda in 2000 the main reason behind it is the development of the anti American RAH-66 scout helicopter program the Ka-58 represents early concept of the development of the new Russian Attack Helicopter Complex that is believed to make its first flight in 2016 almost 27 years after the development started in the late 80's the armament of the Black Ghost consist of 8 laser guided missiles of unknown type in two Internal bays 16 × 9K121 Vikhr 2 × Vympel R-73 and 80 × 80 mm S-8 rockets and 20 × 122 mm S-13 rockets on 3 pylons on each wing, the German model manufacturer Revell repacks the same Ka-58 model. later it was adopted in the computer game Act of War: High Treason, the Consortium faction operates this dedicated stealth hunter-killer helicopter.

There could be one flying this year ... Who knows the Shadow does !!!

I wonder if the Russians got their stealth technology from China who I'm sure analyzed the crashed stealth hawk from the Bin Laden raid!
