“We produced several dozen VK-2500P engines already while developing the Mi-28NM helicopter. Full-scale serial production of the engine at UEC-Klimov (part of the UEC) began in late 2020. The engine is designed to be installed to all types of Mi and Ka helicopters without the need for additional modifications,” stated Yuri Shmotin, general designer of the UEC.
