Mexico Expands Tactical Transport Capability with New Helicopters
The US Department of State has approved a possible foreign military sale of 11 UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters to Mexico, valued at $1.075 billion. The sale aims to modernize Mexico’s rotary-wing fleet, expand its tactical transport capability, and strengthen counter-narcotics operations. The package includes engines, navigation systems, radios, sensors, armor, and logistics support. Mexico already operates 28 UH-60Ms, and this purchase would consolidate its fleet and improve logistics efficiency. The deal was reported by Aviacionline.
