THE LATEST acquisition of the Viys'kovo-Mors'ki Syly (VMS, Ukrainian Navy) -Ka-226 light utility helicopter '41 Yellow' - has been officially presented. The helicopter was handed over to the 10 mors'ka aviatsiyna brihada (mabr, naval aviation brigade) at Kul'bakino last June 8. As it was not yet fully certified, it was delivered to Kul'bakino aboard an II-76MD. It was first noted there during the annual Sea Breeze 2018 exercise in July but was not involved due to the ongoing certification process. Once this was over, training flights began. The VMS aviators officially presented their new helicopter on December 27.
