Rosoboronexport showcased new and upgraded versions of Russian helicopters at the 15th International Helicopter Industry Exhibition (HeliRussia-2022), which was held from May 19 to 21 at the Crocus Expo IEC in Moscow. At HeliRussia, Rosoboronexport showed its partners and potential customers Russian helicopters for a wide range of applications in various weather and climatic conditions in the form of scale models and advertising materials.
In particular, Rosoboronexport demonstrated the Ka-52 scout/attack helicopter, upgraded versions of the Mi-28NE attack and Mi-171Sh military transport helicopters, as well as the Mi38T transport/assault helicopter.
In addition, visitors to the company’s booth had the opportunity to get acquainted with the Mi-35M transport/attack helicopter, Mi-17V-5, Ka-32A11M, Ka-226T and Ansat military transport and utility helicopters. The entire range of various helicopters under development and production in Russia, whose delivery is possible through Rosoboronexport, was on display at the booths of Russian enterprises, including Russian Helicopters. The Ka-52 scout/ attack helicopter, exhibited at HeliRussia 2022 as a scale model, is currently the best in the class of attack helicopters in terms of its fighting capacity and the range of aircraft weapons used, hover ceiling and rate of climb, maximum weapons load weight and sortie radius, as well as safe and autonomous operation in field conditions.
Thanks to its coaxial rotor configuration, the Ka-52 offers unique inflight performance and maneuverability, allowing it to dominate the battlefield. It is the world’s only helicopter equipped with a catapult crew rescue system.
