The tests confirmed that the services meet the specifications of the documentation. It is currently being retrofitted to other evidence of the transmission of rotor and control mechanisms. A second prototype is being prepared.

t also has a new reduction gear and the latest avionics. In emergencies, if an engine fails, the helicopter can keep flying and landing. It is also easy to maneuver in dense areas of buildings, urban areas and mountainous areas. The absence of tail rotor and its small size allows it to land in small spaces, in need of shelter in hangars. He has made flights in hot areas of India, mountainous areas.

the article is interesting, I've read read it, but ... its author blames ... the Chinese! check for yourself since I'm not going to a post a summary for this forum Rolling On Floor Laughing

Author doesn't blame Chinese . He mostly criticize Russian Navy and Russian companies because of their license agreements with Germans (especially MAN ), claiming that Germans want to simply shut down Russian domestic research and in the same time they do not allow their products in military vessels . Chinese company HND is mentioned as potential source of diesel engines, but author claims their products are also licensed by Germans so they cannot be used by Russian Navy .

The first four were for the Baltic Fleet. This is the first one for the Pacific fleet (which will also get four):
