Developed as a reconnaissance helicopter and for light transport missions the Kasatka (Swallow) first flew on December 24, 1998 but problems with the RD-600V engines halted the program. On April 2011 an agreement was signed with French Turbomeca to use the 1,306 kW (1,751 hp) Turbomeca Ardiden 3G turboshaft for a revised Ka-62
