The Ka-52 Alligator is the two seat and more advanced version of the Ka-50 Hokum. In the 1980s it was designed to conduct battlefield reconnaissance, provide target designation, support and co-ordinate group attack helicopter operations. One of the Ka-52´s special features is that it is equipped with two ejection seats, if the pilots activate them, the coaxial rotors are blown off; the Ka-50 Hokum, the Ka-52´s precursor was the first attack helicopter that was equipped with an ejection seat. Unlike in conventional attack helicopters, the pilots don´t sit behind each other, in the Ka-52 they are sitting side by side.

- The Kamov Ka-52 design and construction is based on the original Kamov Ka-50 concept, with no significant or subsequent modifications. An essential change, in comparison with the single-seat version, has been made in the extension of its fuselage, at its front part, due to the installation of the second ejection seat. The unification of the construction components and groups of the two-seater with the single-seater's version are said to account for more than 75%.

| - The Kamov Ka-52 design and construction is based on the original Kamov Ka-50 concept, with no significant or subsequent modifications. An essential change, in comparison with the single-seat version, has been made in the extension of its fuselage, at its front part, due to the installation of the second ejection seat. The unification of the construction components and groups of the two-seater with the single-seater's version are said to account for more than 75%. The crew placement - one pilot alongside to the other, is expected to bring a better co-ordination of both the pilots' actions under various flight and fight regimes, as well as a less sophisticated equipment with controlling instruments which allows to avoid their doubling, as required for cockpits with two-men crew seated stepped up behind one another. Both the crew members are seating on identical K-37-800 ejection seats. Analogously to Kamov Ka-50, the seats are simultaneously activated by the same automatic emergency rescue system which, using pyro-cartridges, will jet-off the main rotor blades as the first step and only then will activate the seat mechanism.
