"The Kamov Ka-50 Black Shark is a single-seat Russian attack helicopter with the distinctive coaxial rotor system. It was designed in the 1980s and adopted for service in the Russian army in 1995. The Ka-50 is unique as an attack helicopter, in that it is the world's first and only single seat attack helicopter, the first coaxial attack helicopter, and the first attack helicopter with zero-zero ejection seat."
