Łotysze negocjują Black Hawki <<< znalezisko
Kolejny kraj w naszym regionie zainteresowany jest śmigłowcami UH-60M – Black Hawkiem używanym m.in. przez US Army (jak i w ogóle nowymi śmigłowcami, obok Węgier czy Rumunii). Takie maszyny kupiła Słowacja, obecnie amerykańska agencja ds. współpracy z zagranicą (DSCA) poinformowała w swoim komunikacie o pakiecie dla Łotwy.

Z informacji DSCA można wyczytać:

(...) This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a NATO ally. These UH-60 helicopters will allow for interoperability with U.S. and NATO forces in rapid response to a variety of missions, and quick positioning of troops with minimal helicopter assets.

The sale of these UH-60 helicopters to Latvia will significantly increase its capability to provide troop lift, border security, anti-terrorist, medical evacuation, search and rescue, re-supply/external lift, and combat support in all weather. Latvia intends to use these helicopters to modernize its armed forces and expand its existing Army architecture in its efforts to provide multi-mission support in the region. Latvia will have no difficulty absorbing these helicopters into its armed forces.
