Battlehawk

Description

The Battlehawk kit is an upgrade to the UH-60 Blackhawk giving it enhanced attack capabilities. Its first customer was the UAE, which ordered 23 upgrade kits for its UH-60M Blackhawk utility helicopters. Similar in concept to the Russian Mi-24 Hind, the gunship can carry passengers in addition to weaponry. Key weapons for the UAE Battlehawks include laser-guided Hellfire and MK-66 70mm missiles, and GAU-19 .50cal miniguns.

PRIMAL Assessment

Like most modern gunships the Battlehawk is equipped with highly effective countermeasures and targeting systems. It is recommended that operatives avoid contact with adversary Battlehawks. They’re likely to be difficult to target unless employing state-of-the-art surface to air missile systems.
