Although I don't like how these are being used by the Окупанти, the helicopters themselves are neat in that they're like one of the one designs out there with an ejection seat, and also a relatively rare example of a tandem rotor configuration. No tail rotor needed! But I imagine the drivetrain to be complicated since you have two counter-rotating axes spinning really really fast right outside one another.
