The Black Hawk is in service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces for the very first time!
The UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter, which was named after the Native American war leader of the Sauk tribe in the Midwest, is every bit the fighter its honorable name suggests.
This iconic helicopter has been the U.S. Army's frontline utility helicopter for the past 40 plus years.
The first production UH-60A was accepted by the army in 1978 and entered service in 1979.
Over the years the helicopter has been modified and upgraded to support evolving missions such as the HH-60W “Whiskey” which has advancements to better support the full range of combat rescue and other special missions.
The Black Hawks can take a lot of punishment and they can operate in a lot of very tough environments.
Whether it's sand or snow hot or cold weather they're really built to operate in tough terrain
The UH-60M is the latest iteration of the standard blackhawk platform.
This airframe will continue to serve until the early 2030s when it'll be replaced by the Bell V-280 Valor.
