And also its always best that if they want to increase production, open a new facility. Becomes easier to determine what is needed for equipment, creates new jobs, have a brand new facility of newest requirements, etc etc.
Good news.

The new tool production site with an area of 2.4 thousand square meters will produce tooling and tools intended for assembling parts and assemblies of a number of industrial engines, as well as aircraft power plants NK-32 series 02, NK-12MP, NK-25 and a new promising high-power Izdeliye.
Never heard of 650V. Good to see.

Tests of VK-1600V helicopter engine demonstrator completed
05/19/2023
The United Engine Corporation has completed testing of the VK-1600V helicopter engine demonstrator. The first prototypes of the product have already been assembled - their bench tests are planned to be completed by the end of this year, and in 2024 flight tests will begin as part of the Ka-62 helicopter. This was reported in the press service of the UEC.
The VK-1600V is intended for installation on Ka-62 helicopters under the import substitution program for the French turboshaft engine (TVAD) Ardiden 3G from Safran Helicopter Engines (formerly Turbomeca). The design of the VK-1600V allows further development of various modifications, including for use in drones and as part of the power plants of light passenger and transport regional aircraft.
“VK-1600V engines have high fuel efficiency and low life cycle costs. The power of the VK-1600V in takeoff mode is 1400 hp. and 1750 hp – in the 2.5-minute power mode. At the same time, we managed to reduce the delivery weight by 10% and reduce the specific fuel consumption in all modes compared to analogues, ”said Anton Kolosov, chief designer of the VK-1600 JSC UEC-Klimov.
The power plant is controlled by the BARK-15V automatic regulation and control unit, the development and manufacture of which is also carried out at UEC-Klimov. In addition to the function of monitoring and controlling engine systems, it has the function of diagnostics and troubleshooting.
