ICM 1/48 Sikorsky UH-60A Black Hawk Defence Intelligence Of Ukraine # 48362
Before February 2022, the Ukrainian army and other security forces primarily operated Soviet-made helicopters, with the majority consisting of Mi-8 transport helicopters and Mi-24 combat helicopters.
However, in February 2023, photos and videos emerged in the information space showing a helicopter belonging to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense's Main Intelligence Directorate, which featured an unusual blue-black livery and Ukrainian identification markings.
This helicopter turned out to be a UH-60A Black Hawk, which had undergone certain upgrades and was handed over to the Ukrainian defenders.
According to some sources, this helicopter was likely previously owned by the civilian company Ace Aeronautics, which specializes in upgrading transport aircraft cabins.
In the spring of 2024, it became known that the combat aviation of the Main Intelligence Directorate received another UH-60A Black Hawk, now painted in the standard olive-green colour scheme.
Both helicopters are tasked with transporting special forces units to carry out necessary combat missions.
The Sikorsky UH-60A Black Hawk is a versatile and robust utility helicopter, widely recognized for its role in military operations worldwide.
Within the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (GUR), the Black Hawk has been reportedly utilized for critical missions, including reconnaissance, special operations, and rapid troop deployment.
Its advanced avionics, durability, and adaptability make it an invaluable asset for Ukraine's intelligence and defense efforts.
Equipped with modern navigation systems and capable of operating in challenging environments, the Black Hawk supports GUR's objectives by enhancing mobility, providing tactical advantages, and reinforcing Ukraine's operational capabilities in its ongoing defense strategies.
