2 years ago Had to add the Vikhr-1!
Anyway, new ~2015 version of the Ka-52 built with the new Vikhrs and loadouts replaced on all the helicopters after that date (which is all except DBID 2929). Russians still have the old Vikhr loadouts in the DB but I just edited the existing Egyptian ones since I figure they didn't buy old kit.

This is a straight update to the existing Vikhr load outs to replace the old Vikhr 9M127 with the Vikhr-M 9M127-1 which has improved range (up from 8km to 10-12km) and an improved warhead.
As production started in the 2013 region the platforms effected are circa 2012 KA-52's including the exported Egyptian versions.
