The UH-60 Black Hawk is one of the world’s most widely used multi-purpose helicopters. With approximately 5,000 units produced and deployed in over 30 countries across Europe, Asia, South America, and other regions, its versatility is evident in its many variants—transport, rescue, medical, anti-submarine, and special operations models.
A standard Black Hawk crew includes two pilots and a crew commander, with pilots handling flight operations and mission execution, while the commander oversees technical maintenance and overall readiness. The crew may also feature one or two gunners operating six-barrel machine guns or other weapons systems when needed. For specialized missions, additional personnel such as rescue specialists may join the crew.
