UH-60 Black Hawk Appears In Ukrainian Military Service
February 24th, 2023Via: The Warzone:
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have received what appears to be their first example of the ubiquitous S-70/H-60 Black Hawk series helicopter. It looks to now be in service with the aviation branch of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence directorate, which has led a number of daring missions in the course of the ongoing war with Russia, including cross-border helicopter raids. The Black Hawk design is more modern than many previous helicopter donations to Ukraine and could also pave the way for future deliveries.
A story posted on its website today by the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (to give it its full title) includes two photos of a Black Hawk series helicopter in a hangar in Ukraine. One photo shows a two-person armed helicopter crew posing in front of the aircraft. Another head-on view of the Black Hawk shows it alongside a Ukrainian Mi-24 Hind, with another two-person crew as well as a four-person team of apparent special operations troops.
