History and use of the UH-60A Black Hawk: The UH-60A Black Hawk is a multi-role helicopter that plays a key role in military operations worldwide. It was designed by the American company Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation and introduced into service with the U.S. Army in the 1970s. Its versatility allows it to be used in various missions, from transporting soldiers and equipment to medical evacuation and combat operations.

In the Ukrainian context, prior to February 2022, the Ukrainian armed forces mainly used Soviet-made helicopters such as the Mi-8 and Mi-24. However, in February 2023, photos and videos emerged showing the UH-60A Black Hawk helicopter in the colors of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. This helicopter underwent some upgrades and was transferred to the Ukrainian armed forces. In the spring of 2024, another UH-60A Black Hawk joined the Ukrainian fleet, this time in standard olive-green paint. Both helicopters are used to transport special forces to carry out essential combat missions.
