On October 3, a surcharged stamp with an image of a KA-32 helicopter dedicated to the National Helicopter Building Centre Mil and Kamov was put into postal circulation

The National Helicopter Building Centre Mil and Kamov (JSC NCV Mil and Kamov) is a Russian aviation industry enterprise located in urban village Tomilino, Lyubertsy District of the Moscow Region. It is engaged in the development and experimental operation of helicopters. It was founded in 2019 on the basis of JSC Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant and JSC Kamov. The company weaved together two unique engineering schools of the Russian helicopter industry - the Mil School and the Kamov School. It forms part of JSC Russian Helicopters.

Ka-32 helicopters have become widely used in mountainous conditions: whole-tree logging, construction of power transmission lines and carrying out of mountain rescue operations. The navigation equipment of Ka-32 helicopters makes it possible to fly along the selected route in the automatic mode. For this purpose, it is enough to set the geographical coordinates of the route points, and the electronic equipment itself will guide the helicopter along them with an accuracy sufficient for visual contact. Ka-32 helicopters can be flown day and night, both in easy and complicated weather conditions.

The postage stamp provides an image of a Ka-32 helicopter and a surcharge of a new face value; the margins of the sheet of stamps carry the overprinted text: «Национальный центр вертолётостроения имени М.Л. Миля и Н.И. Камова» (The National Helicopter Building Centre Mil and Kamov).
