About the Kamov Ka-32
Water-bombing helicopter
It uses a suspended bucket or an installed tank to take water from a nearby source and place short, precise drops, including in steep or confined terrain. Depending on its configuration, it may also move crews, equipment, or rescue teams.
What this type can do
The Ka-32’s coaxial rotors provide strong lift and a stable hover without a tail rotor. That makes it effective with a large suspended bucket, especially for precise water drops in steep, confined, or turbulent terrain.
This describes the type’s usual firefighting capability; it does not prove what this aircraft is carrying or doing now.
The Kamov Ka-32 is a Soviet and Russia medium transport helicopter with a coaxial design and two turboshaft engines and fixed landing gear.
