Kagedan KaG-62

The Kagedan KaG-62 Chollima (English: Pegasus) is a heavy gunship or attack helicopter produced by Kagedan Aerospace. It was designed as a replacement for older-model Silayev Si-24 'Hind' gunships that filled the same role. It is a product of an intensive, near three-decade long cooperation between the Gorbatovic Zahorski Design Bureau and Kagedan Aerospace to design a helicopter able to improve upon the performance of the Si-24 in almost all aspects.

The KaG-62 suffered a number of design problems in its early development, which saw it delayed numerous times and nearly cancelled twice. It entered service with the 104th Air Assault Regiment of the Saegyan Revolutionary Army in late 2017. It is intended to supplement 'Super Hind' designs and replace older Hind models.
