Naval Aviation (Ka-52K)
Egypt operates Ka-52K Katran naval attack helicopters on its Mistral-class helicopter carriers. The Ka-52K is the navalised variant of the Russian Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopter, designed for ship-based operations. Operating Russian naval aviation from French-built carriers represents a significant integration challenge that Egyptian naval aviation has had to manage. Naval aviation pilots serve at the intersection of Egyptian-French and Egyptian-Russian defense relationships and require training in both French carrier operations and Russian helicopter systems.
