I did not know it was even possible to eject from a helicopter.

normally it's not, but Ka-52 has a system that pops propeller off in such case. it's very unusual
Ka-50 too
Small explosive charges remove the rotor blades before ejection.
It almost never works. I think there are only a couple of the shoot down videos where they use it, and my understanding is it's only worked a couple times this whole war.
Very good. One less rashist helicopter.
Russian helicopter, go fuck yourself.
