The Sikorsky UH-60 helicopter entered service with the US Army in 1979, replacing the Bell UH-1. It is known that today the US army is armed with about 2,500 UH-60 helicopters in various modifications, in addition, the Black Hawk is exported and produced under license in other countries. The helicopter can accommodate up to 14 people (including three crew members) and can carry small arms, missile, torpedo and bomb weapons, as well as reconnaissance modules.
