How does the cosmonaut, manually controlling the Soyuz, determine its position relative to the Earth?
There is a reliable device for this called viewfinder – a kind of space periscope. Rostec recently supplied the Cosmonaut Training Center with 3 devices in a training version.
For example, the passenger version of the Ka-226T can carry seven people, the cargo version – a ton of cargo inside the cabin or as the external load. Kamov Design Bureau developed two versions of medical modules: an evacuation module and a resuscitation module.

Do you know why this aircraft is called a "route mapper" in Russia?
The thing is that it has improved characteristics, and it can fly in any weather. Thus, airlines can use the SSJ 100 to initiate new routes where other aircraft are not as efficient.
South Korea is the leader in terms of the total number of machines in operation – the country has more than 50 helicopters of the Ka-32 family.
By the way, the Ka-32 continues to evolve. The helicopter received new engines, glass cockpit and a new fire suppression system.
Multifunctional sky assistant
A firefighter, cargo carrier and even a patrol officer: the Ka-32A11BC helicopter.
This rotorcraft was recognized not only in Russia, but also far beyond its borders. Today, the Ka-32 are in operation in China, Portugal, Spain, Japan and others.
The average age of the company's employee is 43. Interestingly, the ratio of women and men working at the company is almost equal as well: 46% of women versus 54% of men.
Interesting to know: the KAMAZ staff is equal to the population of Monaco
According to KAMAZ, more than 35,000 people work for the company today. That's almost equal to the population of the small European state of Monaco.
During the flights, all systems of the aircraft were tested in the complex. A series of up to 6 hours flights over various areas were performed in Yakutsk. Landings were made mostly in the dark.
The pilots of the MC-21-300 carried out a number of complex modes.

Verified by Yakutian cold❄
The MC-21-300 aircraft came back from cold Yakutia to Zhukovsky (it's near Moscow). Tests of the passenger airliner were conducted in conditions of extreme temperatures below -30 °C. Such tests are necessary to extend the Type Certificate.

The goals for the near future are also massive:
🚛 to start the production of the entire range of K5 generation trucks,
🚌 to increase the production of passenger transport up to 2,000 units a year,
↗ to increase exports.
Future road keeper being assembled 💪🏻
By the way, last year KAMAZ achieved one of the best production results in the last ten years. It produced 18% more machine sets than in 2020.
