Historical background of the Ka-31 HELIX helicopter

The Ka-31 is a Soviet, later Russian, deck-based helicopter designed by the Kamov design bureau, mainly used by the navies of the USSR and Russia, as well as by India and China. The aircraft was developed in the 1980s and entered service at the end of the Cold War, remaining in use to this day (modern times). The Ka-31 helicopter is known for its E-801 Oko radar, enabling it to detect both aircraft and low-flying missiles at long range. It was used, among others, on Russian Kuznetsov-class units and Indian Vikramaditya-class aircraft carriers during patrol and reconnaissance operations.
