This is the a Russian Kamov attack helicopter. Ka-50. (Also known as Werewolf or Black Shark)
Because it has no tail rotor, the machine is less vulnerable and its manoeuvrability is better.
Ascent and descent is controlled by the speed of the blades. So in order to take off the blades start rotating faster and faster.
With a traditional helicopter the speed of the blades is fixed. By turning the blades to a different angle, they get more "bite" in the air and the helicopter lifts off.
