The Ka-62 is designed for passenger and cargo transportation, medevac and search and rescue operations.

aside from SAR its mainly a civilian helicopter.

Do you remember this guy? (a legend!)…

…and the infamous incident on September 13th 1987 with the Norwegian P-3C? Well after 25 years 😮 we can put a name and face to the guy who provided the first close up views of the Su-27 FLANKER B (and how!!)- I was aged 11! :p

Senior Lieutenant Vassily Tsimbal (старший лейтенант Василий Цимбал).

The damage to his Su-27 tail fin upon collision with the ‘Orion’s’ propeller (above right):

Here is the P-3’s ‘intercept’ marking (the aircraft was rebranded ’38’ after the incident):

Very sadly Vassily was killed in a flood in 2003, here’s to you Sir! A true icon.

Wang Wei wished he was flying an Su-27 instead of these

Ka-62, google it.

Ka-62 is mainly for civilian use. Next!

I hope you aren’t directing this at me…

Clearly BVR missiles are not wonder weapons, but that hardly lends validity to Amiga’s skepticism as to the viability of BVR combat.

Iran used BVR combat in many instnaces against the Iraqis with their F-14 and phoenix.

The first kill by an F-14 was scored even before the Iran-Iraq war officially began. On September 7, 1980, an Iraqi Mil Mi-25 Hind helicopter (an export version of the Soviet Mi-24 attack helicopter) was shot down with a 20-mm Vulcan cannon. Just six days later, the first AIM-54 kill followed: Major Mohammad-Rez Attaie shot down an Iraqi MiG-21 while he was patrolling an area over which Iraqi reconnaissance aircraft had been especially active in previous days.
