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
@@Sk0lzkyas much as i know, vibrations with this type of construction are a normal thing. Maybe they can be made less visible, but apparently you can't get rid of them completely.
@@ИванГоряев-х4ю It might be possible with modern simulations. Check out the zipline asynchronous silent prop. It's a propeller not a rotor but maybe something similar could be engineered.

I was an old Huey Crew Chief In the U.S. Army from 1988 to 1996 and a desert storm veteran. I have gotten to look at KA-27 at several air shows and at a russian airfield. This thing is built like, like most russian hardware it has to be rugged and able to be maintained by tractor mechanics. I actually turned down a flight on one because I really didn't like the way it was maintained.
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.
I have now joined the CAF reserves thanks to you, Matsimus. Watching your videos helped me prepare a lot for the test and basic training. It was quite the fun!
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.
I believe the assault/ naval infantry version is known as the KA - 29 and has a completely different avionics suite + stub wings for guns , rockets and missiles instead of a weapons bay.
I really like these, I got a chance to see a few at an airshow I went to a few years before the ...pandemic... The pilots seemed to really enjoy the platform and talking about it. Thanks mate!
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.
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!
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. Hope this story had some relevence to your question, Love your channel have a good one // Lars
I've been a subscriber of this channel for a long time, and i gotta say your dedication is amazing. 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. Thanks from the UK.
@@jonathanmimnagh8956 I guess they had a time delay before the almighty kaboom. The detonation would be under water as well which might reduce some of the danger to the helicopter.
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 am an airplane pilot. I am actualy very scared of helicopters. But I have flown as a passanger in an awesome Bell47, probably my favourite helicopter, the visibility on these things is just out of this world, its like you are in a fish bowl.
oh, Mat, you reminded me that I was flying in a helicopter, it was not a combat model, but a medical rescue model. I ended up in a helicopter after a car accident and it was an accident where there was nothing recognizable from the car.
Over the summer of 2022 I was working on the gondola and chairlift upgrades @ Whistler Mountain in British Columbia Canada, and we had a Kamov Ka-32 from VIH flying a lot of our tower tubes, tower heads and sheave assemblies up the mountain for us and we also used them a bit for flying concrete and all I can say is that rotor wash is for real! Lol The pilots were all first class and it was hands down one of the coolest things I've ever done.
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
@@pierredelecto7069 there are automated systems, one called bear trap, or they can take thin weighted cable fed from the bottom of the helo to a thicker strand that is taken back aboard. Mostly managing the free length provides safety while it is very dangerous.
Favourite helis? There is this werid german helicopter from ww2 flettner I think it was the name and the kamov ka 52. Thank you so much for the info, I wasnt aware of all those capabilities.
Landing on rough waters, and a copter is not easy. Getting your troops safely there or out depending upon the water either way it’s not an easy operation.
Is like 2 years ago I was out fishing,. And this thing come fly above my head it's so loud, the branches fell down and drop it's water bag and Grab some water in front of me, probably around 7-10meters away.. while I screaming and grab the broken branch and try to throw it (try to tell them that I'm right here down below) Guess what? It didnt work the branches fly back to my direction. 💀
Have you ever heard of the battle tech franchise? I think it’s something you’ll enjoy if you got into it given how much you enjoy talking about military vehicles.

The Russians have destroyed a Challenger 2 tank. I bet all of the biased British tankers are pissed that their beloved Challie 2 just lost it's aura of invincibility.

@@AlexanderTch should? No. But they have an option to land in stormy weather. Of course if your navy isn't for operating, but solely for show, you can exist without such tools. Or maintenance. Or training.
@@TheArklyte I repeat my question. Should American helicopter connect to any type of hook before landing on slippery deck during storm weather? If yes, how it's done when ship is on waves during stom? Any photos or videos of that process? If they use hooks so that's another sign of weak brain of americans and their engineers.
@@AlexanderTch And I repeat my answer ruclips.net/user/shortsG99PPO2cRpk?si=YhKqahj-sKFK1GRa It's an extra safety tool to preven "bounce off" in rough weather after landing.

Americans prevent crash, russians catch the debris. You can drive a car without seatbelt, airbags and collision sensor too btw. And none of those were invented in Russia either.
I'm pretty sure that soviet/russian nuclear submarines have proven competent enough to do the job of killing themselves on their own on numerous occasions.

I feel like also having twice as many propellers probably helps with extra lift right?
@flexinclouds not as much as you’d think, the engines still have as much power as they otherwise would, only now 100% goes to lift rather than 70-80%
Always liked the Kamov designs, such unique machines. Ka-52 was my favorite from the Enemy Engaged series, back in the day.
I like KA 50.
