Kamov Ka-27 'Helix' Naval Helicopter - Nuclear Submarine Hunter Killer 🌊☢️
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- The Kamov Ka-27 (NATO reporting name 'Helix') is a military helicopter developed for the Soviet Navy, and currently in service in various countries including Russia, Ukraine, Vietnam, China, South Korea, and India. Variants include the Ka-29 assault transport, the Ka-28 downgraded export version, and the Ka-32 for civilian use.
The helicopter was developed for ferrying and anti-submarine warfare. Design work began in 1969 and the first prototype flew in 1973. It was intended to replace the decade-old Kamov Ka-25, and had to have identical or inferior external dimensions compared to its predecessor. Like other Kamov military helicopters it has coaxial rotors, removing the need for a tail rotor. In total, five prototypes and pre-series helicopters were built. Series production started at Kumertau in July 1979, and the new helicopter officially entered service with the Soviet Navy in April 1981.
The Ka-27 has a crew of three with a pilot and a navigator both installed in the cockpit, and a sonar operator installed behind. It has a four-leg fixed landing gear. The Ka-27 is equipped with two lateral buoys, that can be inflated in the case of a forced landing on water.
The Ka-27PL anti-submarine version is equipped with a radar, and either a dipping sonar or a magnetic anomaly detector. It can also carry either up to 36 sonobuoys, or a torpedo, or between six and eight conventional depth charges, or a single nuclear one. Ka-27PLs generally operate in pairs as hunter-killer teams.
The Ka-27PS search and rescue helicopter can carry 12 folding seats or four stretchers in its cabin, and is equipped with a 300-kg winch. Its fuel capacity is greater than that of the Ka-27PL (3.450 L against 2.940 L).
Ka-32 variants, e.g. the Klimov-powered Ka-32A11BC, have been certified for commercial operations throughout the world, notably in Canada and Europe. The Ka-32 has been certified for the newer Klimov VK-2500PS-02 engine.

A military/weapons yt channel not full with propaganda.
I salute you👍
Russians and their counter-rotating helos. Gotta Love’em, especially of course, the Ka-52. Got DAYUM it’s a good looking bird.
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.
@@Sk0lzkyV 22 Osprey it's a Killer😂😂😂
@@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.
Yep, we in Ukraine love them too, especially how they burn, blow and fall down 😂😂😂
I love these helicopters, they're used for firefighting in my country and when you hear those engines with the dual rotors breaking the sound barrier it means business 💦🔥
These copters are used in helicopter logging operations in British Columbia Canada and are truly best in class.
The civilian brother the KA 32 is being used by firefighters of Canadá, Spain, South Korea, Japan, Portugal, China, SouthAfrica, Swiss, Turkey, Indonesia.
Yes.
Bangladesh is planning to buy them as well.
My parents both worked for the factory that produces this kind copters, now they are both retired. Farher was a flight technician
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.
Except most russian hardware isn't rugged and maintained at all. Talented designers, competent engineers, cursed landmass 😂
Are you kidding? maintained by tractor mechanics? get some help
@@Anuj-1 well, he tried to give them more credit then they deserve to be polite.
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.
@@AlexanderTch "I am not a mechanic" is the only honest and useful part of your comment. You could have stopped at that.
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!
Good luck!!
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 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%
I love these helicopters, Canada has a lot in private companies.
I was shocked when my teacher told our class we have them for logging on Victoria Island
fighting against forrest fires?
@@mateospennati350Vancouver Island
We are too dumb to produce our own helis.
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!
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.
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.
just woke up to see greatness with my coffee
Was about to go to sleep but saw this greatness.
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.
What you really forget to mention is armament - Ka-27PL is capable to care Kh-35 anti-ship missiles and nuclear torpedoes.
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.
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 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!
CnC Generals fucked-up my idea of the scale of these things lmao, I thought they were massive.
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
Awesome intro as always buddy. Hope you're well. Best wishes from N.B.
I thought it reminded me of a Puffer Fish, cute but deadly! 😂
Not a pilot but I love the way the NH-90 looks.
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 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.
8:56 Just wait til Matsimus learns that the little Westland Wasp helicopter could carry WE.177 nuclear weapons as well! 😂
👏
That sounds like a 1 way tasking!
@@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.
"Helix, on the scene."
"We're going to ruin somebody's day."
My favorite helicopter is K52 one of the best atack helicopters!
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.
Good job as usual Matt. I’ve always loved the Huey 204. Great rotor you know.
I've always been fascinated by these helos. Thanks for the video.
Oh yes the forbidden goldfish
We cant talk about it. Only possible speech we can hold is, its archaistic soviet time very very ugly bird.
There's was s nuclear submarine game Simulator called 688(I) where those Helix were a real threat to sub operations.
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
Seems like a dangerous job to be handing a winch cable off underneath a pitching helicopter.
@@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.
@@z_actual being on a boat is scary. Being on a boat underneath a floating meat chipper is even scarier.
🫡To the guys that do the job.
Getting gear of war vibes
i love the civilian version, you know the same used by a group of mercenaries to hijack a boat
Love your channel I'm a ec 145 pilot. But my favorite helicopter is the AS332L1 super puma. Flew it once and I was hooked.
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.
That's just straight up the raven from gears of war
Defiant would be a good alternative to Kamov series helicopters for users outside of Russia.
Defiant very interesting heli but I heard that they lose competition to valor for some reasons. I think more suitable ryder
That opening beat was fire!
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.
Makes me think of Gears of War helicopters lol!! Badass
Awesome machine. Russians really do have some cool helicopters.
It's very durable it seems!!😊😊 Jf
current favorite helo is the MH-47G from history it's got to be the CH-37 Mojave
These helicopters have less than half the vibration of an Mi-9 or Mi-24 making them extremely accurate when firing. They're not a gunship, but they can gunship. I''m hardly surprised by the nuclear armament when you're hunting things that can turn several cities to ash.
They had 2 of these in RC south Afghanistan, with these neon green ooze like decals. Was cool as hell watching them fly by.
Could you plase do a video on the French EBRC Jaguar
C&C Generals: The Thunderstorm ⛈️ Begins!
And in the meantime:
Chiba will grow larger😂
It looks a bit smaller than the Helix we know and love from C&C
Well, it certainly can't fit a bulldozer...
Most ppl like the Ka-52, i think the Ka-27s and Ka-25s is the coolest looking ones...has that classic 'this is Russia' look to it like the mi8s do, the 'no its not a sea king, it just looks like fish thats out of water, of no relation'
Outstanding video!
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. 💀
A search and rescue variant would be good.
Thank you.
Great video
My current favourite helicopter is the V-22 Osprey and I also love the V-280 Valor which will be in service in the future
Not a great week for the osprey... One crashed in Australia with at least 4 dead. Honestly not sure if it even counts as a helicopter either.
Tilt rotor aircraft don’t count as helicopters. But Defiant push rotor combo does.
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.
Good stuff brother.
Very interesting design. I hope you are doing well Mat. I guess no courses this summer?
Sadly not. But sergeants course this fall!
Has the same rattling problem as the alligator
Great video, thank you
It goes BRTTTTTTT..
I approve
It's more like Poisonous puffer fish than a golden fish
THE THUNDERSTORM BEGINS
I flew on a Ka-32 in Canada of all places.
Long career so: Huey, Kiowa, Sea King, Black Hawk, Chinook, MRH90 (I'm assuming V-22 Osprey doesn't count) and in civvie street a Robinson (no tail rotor).
Kiowa is sorely missed.
There is no substitute for on call VCAS
Helix on the scene! Install the Bunker! Make it worth my time! We’re going to ruin somebody’s day!
That's a good reference!
it feels very reliable
Great video thank you sir
Best helicopter ever : South African Rooivalk.
Been in Chinooks and Hueys more times than I can count
Hi Matt! Have you seen the Mil Mi-38?
Seen one in cyprus up close picking up water out of the ocean via a big bucket and dumping water on a wildfire 🎉 was cool asf ngl
My favorite “chopper”.
Are you going to do a video about the new British assault rifle the KS-1
Thanks..infomative
lovely video
Interesting thank you
I LOVE the Design of the Mi-24 the good old Hind
Cool
What happened to the civilian KaMov version? And that use for agriculture?
Mega cool 😎 👌
A nuclear depthbomb was also in the NATO arsenal to fight deep diving strategic submarines carrying nukes . The PC 3 Orion could carry it. and it may be even the Lockheed Neptune could. In my country (NL) some women had organised a (strickty female ) peacecamp near Naval Airbase Valkenburg for very long time, because there supposed to be such bomb somewhere on the field. There was not, only a dummy to train on.
Fly a Mavic Pro into it and watch it fall from the sky.
Algorithm comment 🤙🍻😸
I love the difference way the US and russia appraoch the helipad on a ship problem. The US has hook that pull down the helicopter that help the pilot land in rough sea while Russia put a rope net on the pad, I guess to stop the helicopter from slipping off?
It's actually for Arctic operations. The net provides grip even when ocean spray has frozen and iced up the pad. A simple and elegant solution.
Really? American helicopter should connect to some sort of hook before landing on deck?
@@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.
Now look at Kamov landing in the video. Not only it's always filmed in good weather, the landing pad is covered in net designed to catch helicopter AFTER it crashes. 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.
Kamov make good helicopters , allways have, my fave helicopter is either the Chinook sat in the back of one many at time, or the KA-52.
Are the wheels retractable?
my fav one was Mi-8
nothing russian is state-of-the-art... only on paper. But good old Mi24 is an awesome thing.
Mat,have you ever thought about pursuing a career in sales?;)
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.
Never been on a chopper. When are they going to invent a chopper that can dive into the water and go submarine mode? 🤷 I'm waiting...
Every helicopter can do this already...once.
Mi 24 P self sealing fuel tanks enough fuel to stand up and walk around plus the impenetrable forward flat facing windows
With the capability of being armed in various armaments
In B.A.T.S. I put 30 rounds with the 20 MM into the cockpit only hitting the side bubble will take out the Mi 24 sending it into a uncontrollable tail spin
I've read Chickenhawk.. Is that close enough?
Took my parents on a Long Ranger ride in 2021.
Really? Wasn't that Ka-29? Ka-27's passenger's compartment is not that big.
@@AlexanderTch We have a lot of helicopters here in this part of Canada, but I’ve never seen one of those. You’ll see plenty of highly modified Bell UH-1. Firefighting and mineral exploration mostly.
Its Ka-29 on the preview
