Additional variant?[edit]

The Kamov Ka-31 article indicates use of a "TV3-117VMAR" engine. Is this an additional variant, or is it the same as the TV3-117VMA?

Ukraine production[edit]

This article needs information on the current production status of the Motor Sich (i.e. Ukraine) production, especially in the light of the VIH crash of a Ka-32 with Motor Sich components. Ukraine recently decided to prohibit the export of Motor Sich Klimovs to Russia for use in Kamov machines, so it's likely that Russian helicopters such as the KA-32 could be upgraded to the newer Russian Klimov engines as their Ukrainian engines run out of time. Does anybody have insider knowledge of what's going on (especially at Motor Sich)? Santamoly (talk) 16:13, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
