Russian single-seat military helicopter. Ordered in 1997, currently still in prototype, designed as a gunship. Sometimes called "Black Shark" or "Werewolf". Features the usual load of weapons in external hard-points. Has contra-rotating co-axial rotors which remove the need for a tail-rotor and apparently make the craft fully aerobatic

NATO designation: "Hokum"
