Ka-27, Kamov 'Helix-A, D'

Improved version of the Ka-25. The fuselage was redesigned to give a large increase in cabin room, with only a small increasse in external dimensions. This allows the Ka-27 to operate from the same ships as the Ka-25. New engines and rotor blades allow a significant increase in operating weights.
