It was delivered in early 2015 by the OAO "Arsenyev Aviation Company Progress" named after NI Sazykin, in corporation with OAO Kamov. The helicopter was deployed aboard the Russian carrier Admiral Kuznetsov in the eastern Mediterranean, earlier in 2017.

Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) - Aichi M6A1 Seiran ("Clear Sky Storm" / "Mountain Haze") - Air and Space Smithsonian - Udvar Hazy Center - July 29th, 2009 1158 RT​


The Aichi M6A1 Seiran ("Clear Sky Storm" or "Mountain haze", translations differ) was a floatplane designed to strike the Panama Canal after transport and launch from a Japanese Submarine (I-400). The Seiran's wings stowed and folded in a manner similar to Grumman aircraft of the era. Also, the Seiran used a Aichi license-built version of the Daimler-Benz DB 601 inverted V-12 engine which was also used by the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and Bf 110.​
