TASS: the Russian army received the first 10 modernized combat helicopters Ka-52M
Russian troops received the first models of the upgraded Ka-52M attack and reconnaissance helicopters, TASS reported, citing a source in the military-industrial complex.
About 10 vehicles were handed over to the Army Aviation.
The first Ka-52Ms have already been handed over to the Russian troops. Deliveries of upgraded vehicles will also continue in 2023.

If everything was fully implemented in this upgrade program it will be one of the most sophisticated and dangerous helicopters ever made. When you add to this its sensor suite and vikhr and article 305 missiles and defense systems and complex comms network and datalinks for drones and fighters and command centers... only the Apache stands alongside it.

I believe that the objective is that the Ka-52M and Mi-28NM helicopters do all the work on the front lines and that a substitute for the Su-25 is not necessary, which would explain the large increase in the number of helicopter units that are foresees (one helicopter brigade for each Combined Arms Army)

A future high speed helicopter would be the best replacement for the Su-25.

One regiment has 3 squadrons of 12 - 16 helicopters.
A brigade should have 4 squadrons.

That model has an internal weapons bay for up to 8 Izd. 305 (LMUR) missilesA future high speed helicopter would be the best replacement for the Su-25.

Helicopter units are called Army Aviation because they support the Army however they belong to the Air Force. Some units are based at one airfield while others may be stationed at 2 or more. As Hole mentioned, the difference was to be 3 versus 4 squadrons with total aircraft from 60-80 including UAV's that required runway lift over. Brigades were to support Military Districts and Regiments to support Combined Arms Armies. Units / Locations / Supporting:
- 15th Army Aviation brigade - Ostrov (Western / 76th ABD)

at the moment there is no real brigade since all the helicopter units have 3 squadrons at most, plus some incomplete Mi-26 units
What was proposed in 2013-2014 when the reform of the Air Force began is still halfway
The Ka-52, Mi-28, Mi-8AMTSh squadrons have 20 helicopters in theory, although not all of them were complete before the Special Military Operation.
Also is confused the previous names: "Aviation Base" (AvB) was before the "regiment" designation, when they did not have 3 squadrons but only two
the current names:
440th OVP "Separate Helicopter Regiment" , former 378th AvB "Aviation Base" - Vyazma
332nd OVP "Separate Helicopter Regiment" , former 549th AvB "Aviation Base" - Pushkin & Pribylovo
319th OVP "Separate Helicopter Regiment" , former 575th AvB "Aviation Base" - Chernigovka
About the locations, are mixed with names of airfields:
Cheryomushki is the airfield, the city is Chita
Tolmachevo is the larger airport of Novosibirsk
Pushkin airfield in St Petersburg city and Pribylovo is in Leningrad oblast
in the same way:
Veretya airfield in Ostrov
Dvoyevka airfield in Vyazma
Travyany airfield in Kamensk-Uralsk
etc...
