It was designed in the 1980s and adopted for service in the Russian army in 1995. It is currently manufactured by the Progress company in Arsenyev. It is being used as a heavily armed scout helicopter.The helicopter was publicly unveiled at the Mosaeroshow at Zhukovskiy in August 1992. The fifth prototype gave the Ka-50 a particularly enduring designation. Painted black for its starring role in the movie "Black Shark", the helicopter has been known by that nickname ever since.
