Can one of you guys who can read/write russian please translate the text at the bottom of the following picture for me? (I'm assuming that the text is in russian)

Thanks in advance

My Russian is far from perfect but I'll try....

The top line basically means "Loadout"

On the left:

The top left weapon is "2 Igla-V AA rockets"

the one below it....sorry, can't tell, but look up whatever guided AT missiles the Ka-50 carries, that's them.

The third one down is "ammo for cannon, 30mm caliber"

The forth one down is a B8V20A rocket pod with 20 S-8 FFAR rockets

The bottom one on the left is a gunpod with 250 rounds of 23mm ammo

On the right starting from the top:

500kg bomb

250kg bomb

I believe the third one down is a cluster bomb container

The forth one down is a B13 rocket pod with 5 S-13 FFAR rockets

And the last one on the right is an external fuel tank

Hope that helps

*edit* correction to variant of Igla

The bombs are of the FAB series of dumb bombs. FAB-250 and FAB-500. There are low drag and high drag versions, on a chopper I would suppose you'd want to mount the high drag variant. I've also read the Ka-50 can carry the KAB-500Kr TV-guided bomb

*edit* Oh and the AT missiles shown are the AT-16 "Vikhr" anti-tank missile (second highest on the right)
