They tried to smuggle a Ka-26 helicopter from Ukraine using fake documents

Unusual contraband was discovered by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine on the border with Hungary. This is reported by the Ukrainian edition of "Strana", citing sources in the border department.

At the Tisa checkpoint, border guards were checking a Ka-26 helicopter being transported across the border. They found that the documents for the helicopter contain false information about the manufacturer. The cargo was detained, after which a forensic expert arrived at the scene. He also made sure that the documents were fake.

The helicopter has now been seized by the border guards. According to the Ukrainian edition, the cost of such an air vehicle is about 1 million hryvnia. Ka-26 is a Soviet multipurpose helicopter. It was developed back in the 1960s. A total of 816 helicopters of this type were produced. They were delivered to 14 countries of the world.

Usually the Ka-26 was used for civilian purposes. But it is known that helicopters of this type were in service with the air forces of Bulgaria and Hungary, as well as the police departments of the GDR and even the FRG.

Who and why tried to take the Ka-26 from Ukraine to Hungary is not reported. But it is clear that if helicopters can be transported across the Ukrainian border using forged documents, then what can we say about, say, small arms. There is no doubt that hundreds and even thousands of units weapons could already “disappear” in Ukraine. They can now be sold both to developing countries and to European criminal groups.

From which museum in the Ukrainian region was it stolen? As if every Ukrainian has a KA 26 in the yard.

Well, apparently some of them definitely had it ... like some of the Russians

if helicopters can take out across the Ukrainian border on forged documents

So it seems like they didn’t take him out ... They also tried to take out a lot of forbidden things across our border, and not always successfully.
Yes, and the weapon clearly goes through other channels ... Suffice it to recall the unlucky Polish policeman

[zenion]

It's time to know that in Ukraine, in every palace of pioneers, amateurs made such helicopters to transport piglets to the fair. Koshtuvaly stench is not expensive - the dance of the self-goy danka of the beetroot is great.

The Ka-26 is still working on the fields as an aviation chemical, and as a search and rescue vessel too.

[ilya.muromczev2013]

I haven't seen the Ka-26 anywhere since the 90s. A long time ago, its new "versions" have been operating the Ka-226: those are - yes, quite a modern, normal helicopter (by the way, with interchangeable modules) ...

[sifgame]

I saw the Ka-26 relatively recently, although I live in Bashkiria, in general, it is initially modular.

[zenion]

Not modular, but medal. Yogo can easily be kupyty, or vkrasty. A real gentleman, we call it not a gentleman, as if there is no such thing in the podvirs of a new one. They buy yih, or steal, the stakes of the sky are broken off and prepared for a catch, otherwise there are three stars for the wife.

That's interesting, from wikipedia
"In Moldova, during a special operation, an illegally operating mini-plant was discovered that produced helicopters for illegal deliveries to the CIS countries, the press service of the Moldovan Prosecutor General's Office said on Tuesday. "An underground helicopter plant operated in the Security Zone on the banks of the Dniester, 50 km from Chisinau . Helicopters similar in modification to the Ka-26 were assembled on it. Helicopters were illegally exported to the market of the CIS countries. Most of the helicopters involved in the production, including the organizers and management of the enterprise, are residents of Pridnestrovie" (2020)"
So simple as AK, to be sure ...

Brad from Wiki. To assemble a coaxial circuit in the garage that is not used anywhere else? Stanislavsky comes to mind immediately.

[topol717]

And what is so complicated about the coaxial scheme? It is difficult to invent it, it is difficult to calculate, it is difficult to bring it to mind, and ready-made time-tested parts can be stamped in any basement, which is what the craftsmen do. By the way, for me, the kinematics of the VCR was a little more complicated than that of the KA-26 screws, but the VMs were spanked in every Chinese basement, although I note that there was plastic, and here it is necessary to sharpen aluminum and steel on machines. Or maybe even simpler, they ordered spare parts somewhere in Europe, and they just assembled them at home.

[Mitia68]

With the necessary accuracy and from the necessary steel?!

... distinguished by the complexity of production, repair and maintenance ...

Only 50 years have passed. Of course, nothing has changed in 50 years. I am already silent about the fact that various metal alloys have become more accessible. And I’ll tell you a terrible secret, universal CNC machines are now available in almost every auto repair shop.

[Rostislav]

The right hands are needed, CNC machines alone are not enough. I constantly order parts for non-standard equipment, so "craftsmen" on the most advanced CNC machines can screw up anything.

[topol717]

In a conventional helicopter, everything is the same, only 2 times smaller.
And I hope you understand the difference between inventing - checking - making and banal copying on modern equipment?

[sifgame]

This is genius!!! There is nothing complicated in the coaxial scheme, and then the author of the post explains all the difficulties)))) And compares the kinematics of the helicopter with a VCR!

[YanniKounnar]

Ce n'est pas la première fois il ya quelques années un hélicoptère de "combat" a ainsi "disparu".
Comme avaient disparu deux avions sur un lot de 50 qui étaient revenus en Ukraine pour révision...
Un jour proche nous aurons un attentat très meurtrier commis avec des armes OTAN "détournées" vers des terroristes...

yandex
This is not the first time a "combat" helicopter has "disappeared" in this way a few years ago.
How two planes from a batch of 50 disappeared, which returned to Ukraine for overhaul...
One day we will have a very deadly terrorist attack carried out with NATO weapons "redirected" to the terrorists...

No, well, strange people! Maybe a man wanted to give his mother-in-law so that she would fly on 6 acres of her own, and then once - and they detained her! So write right away how much you need to pay at customs, and there will be no finds.

[Rustic]

So the customs have the same mother-in-law. And they think they need it more. So it turned out that the price of transporting a helicopter is just the same helicopter.

Forced to disappoint you. Theft has always been a main feature there, along with greed.

with fake documents can take out helicopters

judging by the text of the article, they just can’t

[Vic Vic]

"... if helicopters can be transported across the Ukrainian border using forged documents, then what can we say about, say, small arms"
What does "may be exported" mean? From the same text it follows that they just cannot.

[air wolf]

Piloted for two years so he has an engine resource of 300 hours, then a major overhaul and so on up to 1500 thousand, then for replacement, the airframe resource is 20 years, if it just stood even in the hangar, and if it flew, then according to engine hours.
Conclusion, the price for him is 1 mln rub as a monument to aviation

[vovochkarzhevsky]

So this is still according to Soviet standards. Now our resources are being extended, especially since the equipment of those years is of high quality.

[Bolt cutter]

Most likely a private collector from Europe tried to hurry up.

It depends on the state.
And if he really didn’t fly, or flew a little.
That is gold in price.
Airplanes from the Second World War, owned by private collectors, fly.

The French helicopter Alouette III was completed in 1985, the farewell ceremony for the last helicopters in the Navy was held on December 09, 2022.

Oops! AFtor! Are you from Odessa? In Russian schools and universities they teach you to write correctly not "From Ukraine", but "from Ukraine".... I don't understand editors!!!!??? Are you and a dwarf for one????

Or maybe the Ukrainians know better whether they are Ukrainians or not. They may not have such a game yet. After the decommunization of his brain, there was almost nothing left.

The more equipment and weapons from the territory of Ukraine "miraculously" move to European countries, the more often there will be shows with the use of this equipment and weapons in Western European countries.
Distribute weapons to those who do not pay for them. Ukraine. And there will be a new Wild West. But in Europe.

Whether they can be trusted is another matter. But at least something to start with. Again, the waybill, the "owner" of the car ... In general, there are clues for "digging".

I don’t know about Ukraine, but the owner of the car says that he loaded it, received the documents, delivered it.
It's none of my fucking business...

[Osipov9391]

Oh how! And then many thought that Soviet aircraft were being dragged from Europe to Ukraine, but here it turns out the other way around.
And this will happen - Europe is full of collectors and small firms who would very much like to buy Su-27 or Su-24 for themselves for restoration.
Or as a tutorial.
And there are such in Ukraine in quantity.
There are also engines from the Tu-160 and Tu-22M3, which Ukraine until 2006 exchanged with Russia for gas debts.
A large amount of property in warehouses for the Tu-160 and Tu-95MS was also listed.

About the helicopter. These still fly in Russia and you can meet them.
In Romania, in the 90s, they tried to launch the production of its single-engine version with an Omsk gas turbine engine called the Ka-126.
They made about a dozen cars and the project went into the furnace - it was not up to it then.
Now the Ka-226 is operated in the state structures of Russia. Modification of this Ka-26, then
American / English / French gas turbine engines were installed there.
There was an attempt to make our engines for it and for Ansat, but not before 2024.
For the West has stopped deliveries to Russia even of spare parts for these engines.
