I believe the reason the kamov can catch up so well is because the counter rotating blades prevent the helicopter from feeling the effect of retreating blade stall nearly as much allowing it to accelerate harder in the second half of the mile were almost every time it would catch up to the huey and the Apache.

Hueys are quick off the line, but the gunships seem to have better top speed once they get wound up. I'd actually be interested to see an air race with choppers with an actual circuit, Kamov and Apache's straight line speed vs Huey and Gazelle's nimbleness through the turns. If the circuit just happened to involve flying under a bridge or two, so much the better.

Helicopter speed records are getting toward separating types. The Westland Lynx holds the official helicopter speed record. There are now faster "helicopters" but they're not the conventional style where a single main rotor provides lift AND thrust. Twin rotors (e.g. KA-50) and some that use rotors for lift and horizontal propulsion method can be faster. The latter type is akin to a powered autogyro. So you could say both the Ka-50 and Apache won in their class.

I gotta say, from a pure mechanical perspective, the KA-50 and KA-52 helicopters are superior to anything the West has. They're faster, they're more maneuverable, and they're more controllable. And they have a working ejection system. Of course, from an electronics perspective, Western helicopters like the Apache are superior, and the Apache can carry Stingers and Sidewinders whereas the Kamov, as far as we know, has no guided air-to-air capability. This would put the Kamov at a decided disadvantage in a realistic duel.
