It’s called the Kamov ka-26 and it’s powered by 2 radial piston engines.

It’s like a mini Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane. Awesome.

Like much Russian industrial design, I find it brutally functional.

I think it’s pretty cool. Plus, 2,400lbs of payload in skycrane configuration.

Kamov used to make simple agricultural helicopters like that. Now they make one of Russia’s most feared attack helicopters. Ka-50 “black shark"
