At October 18, the Ka-27M helicopter flew over to its permenant stationing site at the Donskoye airfield, where its crew was met by the squadron command and the air unit personnel.

The next step in training the helicopter pilots is to be fulfilling combat training tasks at the Baltic Sea’s training ranges.

Last week, five updated Ka-27M helicopters arrived at one of the Kaliningrad Region’s airfields. Representatives of the industry and technical staff are currently conducting service works and seasonal maintenance of the updated rotorcrafts.

Their onboard electronic equipment was modernised, new search system and radio acoustic equipment were also installed. All this together allows helicopter crews to significantly improve performing tasks on searching and detecting the enemy’s submarines.
