This Ukraine Navy pilot shortly displayed the manoeuvrablility of his Ka-27PL of the Saks'ka Aviatsiya Brigada (SABr), the naval air component of the Ukraine Navy. The Helikopter Eskadrily of the SABr operated four Ka-27s during our visit. The Ka-27s can be based on board the Ukrainian flag ship, the Krivak III-class fregat "Hetman Sahaidachnyi" (U130). The SABr inventory knows two variants of the Ka-27, de PL in use for Anti-Surface/Submarine Warfare (ASW) and the PS in use for the Search and Recue mission and transport.
