Sweden in final negotiations for Black Hawks
We got a Black Hawk down, Black Hawk down!
Sweden's Defence is in final negotiations to buy 15 Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters from the US government, with first deliveries expected early 2012.
Swedish defence minister Sten Tolgfors says pilot training should start in the USA "this summer", and that the entire fleet would be fully operational by 2017.
The UH-60A entered service with the Army in 1979 as the Army's tactical transport helicopter. This was followed by the fielding of electronic warfare and special operations variants of the Black Hawk. Improved UH-60L and UH-60M utility variants have also been developed. Modified versions have also been developed for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force. In addition to U.S. Army use, the UH-60 family has been exported to several nations. Black Hawks have served in combat during conflicts in Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Somalia, the Balkans, Afghanistan, and other areas in the Middle East.
Unit cost US$ 14 million
