Rostec State Corporation has presented the import-substituting Ansat helicopter at the Dubai Airshow 2025 international aerospace exhibition, a TASS correspondent reports. This is the first time the aircraft has been shown abroad.

The Ansat is equipped with domestically produced VK-650V engines, which are also on display at the exhibition. The helicopter has a redesigned fuselage and onboard systems. The import-substituting version of the Ansat made its maiden flight in September this year. Russian Industry and Trade Minister Anton Alikhanov said in an interview with TASS earlier that the import-substituting Ansat would be in demand abroad.

Rostec also showcased the Ka-32A11M medium-sized firefighting helicopter, which is equipped with the new Russian-made SP-32 fire suppression system. The helicopter is capable of lifting and delivering up to 4,000 liters of water and 400 liters of firefighting foam to the fire area.
