Portugal has successfully donated six Kamov Ka-32A11BC multi-role firefighting helicopters to Ukraine. The final airframe left the city of Ponte de Sor for Ukraine on Friday. These helicopters, which were promised to Ukraine in 2022, experienced a delay in delivery due to a change in the Portuguese government. Ukraine, which has experience operating the Ka-32s, is expected to use them as utility helicopters. The news was reported by Sic Noticias.
