It's a Kamov 27 HELIX of the VMF. They were an effective ASW helicopter. Some are still in use around the world.

Kamov Ka-27 Naval Anti-Submarine Warfare Helicopter | Military-Today.com

Development of the Ka-27 family began in 1969. The Ka-27 retains Kamov's well-proven contra-rotating co-axial rotor configuration, and has dimensions similar to those of the Ka-25.
