‼️Full video of the crash of the Russian Ka-226 with the military factory workers on board. During the Ka-226 crash, the Deputy General Director of Kizlyar plant, the Chief Engineer and the Chief Designer died. Kizlyar plant develops onboard equipment for Russian Sukhoi and MiG military aircraft.

/2. I consulted people who are knowledgeable in helicopter operations and piloting to explain the Ka-226 pilot’s behavior after losing the tail boom: «The crew never realized that the tail boom had separated. The engines and rotors were still functioning, and the captain was likely even pleased that he had managed to lift off from the water. He only noticed that something was wrong with the pedals later — when he gained some altitude and attempted to make a turn. If he had maintained his heading, he could have kept flying for several more kilometers — after all, it’s a coaxial rotor system. But the moment he sensed something was off and tried to turn toward the shore while climbing, there was no chance left. In the end, it’s clearly visible that the rotation became completely uncontrollable.»
