Russia’s most advanced Kamov Ka-52K shipborne helicopters have completed the first stage of trials, Russian Helicopters rotocraft manufacturer, part of state hi-tech corporation Rostec, reported on Tuesday.

"The Ka-52K helicopters have completed the first stage of sea trials. The helicopters are currently staying at the Kamov base where specialists are completing assessing their condition and their specific assemblies after performing tasks in difficult weather conditions," the company said in a statement.

Two Ka-52K helicopters took part in the trials, the statement said.

Russian Helicopters Group Sales Director Vladislav Savelyev said the results of the trials suggested that these helicopters could be placed aboard an aircraft-carrying cruiser and could successfully accomplish assigned missions.

"The helicopter features unique characteristics; however, one sea voyage is not enough to understand how its engines, assemblies, avionics, control and armament systems operate in a sea environment. The design bureau’s work will continue as part of trials, including aboard an aircraft-carrying ship," the company’s press office quoted Savelyev as saying.
