>Ukrainian Defense Intelligence personnel have mastered and use in combat operations the legendary American Black Hawk helicopter

>"The Hawk impressed me with its reliability, ease of control and combat survivability," says one of the flight engineers. According to him, Ukrainian crews mastered the Black Hawk extremely quickly - in a matter of hours.

>"With our experience in the Mi-8 and Mi-24, we flew the Black Hawk on the first day we received it. We simply got in, and took off", says the engineer.

>"Over the last year, the level of our pilots has increased significantly. Now Ukraine can easily adopt about a hundred Black Hawk multirole helicopters, about 50 Apache attack helicopters and about 40-60 Chinook cargo helicopters - and this with minimal time to retrain our pilots," says the first pilot of the helicopter, that goes by the call sign "Maestro".

>"I'm not saying we have all these I just listed, I'm just saying we've been able to adopt them," "Maestro" adds.

>According to "Maestro", this Black Hawk is already active in combat operations, including in enemy territory.

okay i googled it

>ukraine has only 1 blackhawk

>crew literally crowdfunded it and bought from some private org due to restrictions from US government

the fuck? why US government has any restrictions on blackhawks? i get it about atacms/planes and shit, all this escalation bullshit but a fucking transport helicopter from the 80s? and it looks like ukraine is not asking them for free, they're willing to buy.

if there's some logic behind US strategy i don't fucking get it.

Taliban got blackhawks lol

China got blackhawks

USA is retarded. One Ukrainian guy who's connected with procurement said outside of using American credits to buy American MIC stuff they have no plans of ever buying anything from USA due to amount of restrictions put in place if you buy something. When at the same time T*rks will sell equivalent equipment with zero restrictions, they literally don't give a shit what you're using their weapons for as long as you buy it

>have no plans of ever buying anything from USA due to amount of restrictions put in place if you buy something.

Wait until he learns that F-35 ignition codes have to be requested from Pentagon for every flight.

There is no bigger sign of a country being utterly cucked and quite literally and unironically being on cum pipeline life support than purchasing it ahead of own industry.

US bureaucracy is retarded, at the same time when we sold stuff to literally any one in the middle east it inevitably ends up in the hands of goatniggers or what ever Mossad trained insurgency is operating at the time, at least theres proxies on proxies when Taliban pops up with new M4s and night vision, to out right do it without all the red tape would be political suicide for the president and congress.

proofs?
