Editing Kamov (section)

==History==
Kamov was founded by [[Nikolay Kamov|Nikolai Ilyich Kamov]], who started building his first rotary-winged aircraft in 1929, together with [[N. K. Skrzhinskii]]. Up to 1940, the year of Kamov plant establishment, they created many [[autogyro]]s, including the [[Kamov A-7|TsAGI A-7-3]], the only armed autogyro to see (limited) combat action.

From 2002 [[AFK Sistema]] controlled a 51% stake in the company, with [[MiG]] controlling the remaining 49%.<ref name="vedo">{{cite news|title=АФК "Система" продает "Камов-Холдинг" Оборонпрому за $11.8 млн.|url=https://www.vedomosti.ru/library/news/2005/11/07/afk-sistema-prodaet-kamov-holding-oboronpromu-za-118-mln|access-date=16 December 2017|work=Vedomosti|date=7 November 2005}}</ref> Kamov was sold to [[Oboronprom]] in 2005.<ref name="vedo"/>
