Location of Ka-27 helicopter wreckage on Kamchatka Peninsula named
It is reported about the discovery of the wreckage of the Ka-27 helicopter, which disappeared in the dark on the Kamchatka Peninsula. The Ka-27 is a shipborne anti-submarine helicopter, which in Russia is in service with several security agencies - both the Armed Forces and, for example, the FSB Border Service.
Initially, it was reported that the helicopter could make a "hard landing" in the area of Mount Ostroy. The very interpretation of "hard landing" has recently become actively used even in cases when there is a real fall of one or another rotorcraft.
By morning (Moscow time) it became known that the helicopter wreckage had been found by representatives of the search brigades (according to the latest data, from the air).
These fragments are located on one of the slopes (southern) of the mentioned mountain - Ostroy, at an altitude of about 1 km above sea level.
Initially, it was reported that the helicopter took off at approximately 22:10 local time. After some time, there were reports that the crew had ceased to maintain contact with the ground.
It is known that there were three people on board the Ka-27. At the moment, their fate has not been reported. Searches are in progress. They are complicated by the fact that the area where the wreckage was found is difficult to access.
It is also necessary to establish the reasons for the fall of the helicopter. According to one version, the helicopter crashed into a mountain in poor visibility conditions.
