Especially the vibrations are amazing, gotta keep maintenance crews busy. It's weird because I've seen no reports of this issue on this helicopter. Might be QC/corruption issue? (all KA-52s are produced in a single factory)Or simply that 27 doesn't fly as fast as the problem only appears at high speeds

How do you know how Ka-27 is built like? Did you have chance to check its internal design, engines, mechanics, avionics? You judge only by its external look? By the way Huey does not look like top elegance and at least not more elegant than Ka-27 and Huey really look like flying tracktor and I guess you dont' have to be spaceships mechanic to maintain it. What else Russian military hardware can be maintained by tracktor mechanics and how did you check that? Tracktor's mechincs is lowest league among other kinds of mechanics because maintaining of tracktors is simple and easy? I am not mechanic but I am sure that counter-rotating blades with two engines requires pretty complex mechanical design and maintenance.

We are too dumb to produce our own helis.

My parents both worked for the factory that produces this kind copters, now they are both retired. Farher was a flight technician

I've seen videos of these helos lifting electricity pylons to the top of mountains on YT. Because all of the engine power goes directly to the main rotors, and isn't shared with a conventional tail rotor (which uses 25-30 of the engines power on a trad ditional design), it has incredible lifting power.

The exact name is Ka-27PL. Initially named as the Ka-252PL, the variant is actually referred to as the Ka-27. The series version serves as an on-board submarine fighter helicopter. For this purpose, it is equipped with search radar under the nose, extendable diving sonar in the stern, tow-MAD under the stern boom and weapons in the bomb shaft. There is also the Ka-27PLM, an improved variant with newer sensors and more powerful turbines for the drive.

I was one of the last US Coast Guard lighthouse keepers in the USA. I flew off of Seguin Island Light on an HH-3F Helicopter. It always was a jarring and deafening ride.

So i love helicopters! And i am now currently in education to become A1 Aircplane mechanic, to later become a heli mek. But sadly the only heli expierence i have was when i was around seven years old, and my brother who was around 5 and very allergic to allmost everything especially dairy products, decided it was a good idea on christmas eve to eat half bowl with whiped cream. He ofcourse got a allergic reaction and was needed to get escorted with an helicopter up to Stocholm where i live 4,5mi south of Stockolm in a little shit hole called Nynäsham. And I got to tag allong.!This day had two very different sides to it and is secretly one of my favorite days in my life.

I absolutely HATED these sumbitches in Janes 688i. Once they found you, there wasn’t a damn thing you could do to get away from them…which is why I was soooo pleased when Dangerous Waters added the Stinger as a usable weapon. Blowing Helixes out of the sky as payback for losing so many missions due to them was my greatest thrill in Dangerous Waters!

No matter how low views your vids get you always keep posting, keeping us up to date with military equipment. Shows you genuinely enjoy making the content. Glad to see your past three videos doing well and keep up the good work. My personal favorited Heli is the Apache. As generic as it sounds i love the design and intimidating look.

Flight Engineer on UH-1N and TH-1H in US Air Force. My favorite because it is the sound that is used in most movies for helicopters. Also Arnold says get to the choppa, which was a Huey. In predator the team also deploys from a 212/N model Huey which is awesome. The Air Force Hueys are expected to be flying deep into the 2030's.

I see they land on a net on the deck, maybe that stops them rolling off the deck. we made provisions for a winch cable to be handed from the bottom of the helo in rough water steep seas operation. in this way the helo gets winched onto the deck while the rotor system keeps tension on the cable no matter the attitude of the ship

The Russians do have an aircraft carrier, as well as many helicopter equipped destroyers and frigates as well as naval auxiliaries, so are therefore not disadvantaged in any way. As for "Aircraft Torpedoes" and "Missile Torpedoes" you may have just called them "Torpedoes", which along with depth charges, can be nuclear armed. During the Cold War US, UK and Soviet French and Chinese Helos could deploy nuclear warheads dropped from helicopters or fixed wing aircraft.

Does it affect anything of Russian military potential? Not at all. Carriers basically are useless.
