All of the helicopters ordered by the Russian MoD are now receiving engines manufactured at Klimov in St Petersburg. In turn, some of the export derivatives still use Motor Sich-supplied VK-2500 ad TV3-117VM/VMA turboshafts. This is a Russian VKS Mi-8AMTSh-V assault transport helicopter powered by the VK-2500-03 to endow it with a vastly improved hot-and-high performance, with first deliveries reported in 2015

Currently only a small proportion of the Mi-171Shs and Mi-17V-5s built for export customers are powered by enhanced VK-2500-02 engines, with the majority of the newly-built Hip derivatives still sporting the more affordable TV3-117VMA

Since mid-2014, the deliveries of Motor Sich-assembled VK-2500 and TV3-117VMA engines to Russia have been subject to strict supervision by the Ukrainian defence export control authorities. Currently, these engines are allowed for delivery to be installed on newly-made helicopters, such as the Mi-35M, for export customers only
