Eight new UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters are expected to be delivered to the Croatian Armed Forces by 2028, according to the ministry. The agreement, as stated by the Croatian Ministry of Defence, is valued at USD 274 million.
Washington will fund 51 percent of this amount as compensation for military aid that Croatia has transferred to Ukraine. Croatian support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine included, among other things, Mi-17 helicopters.
The Croatian Armed Forces are currently operating four Black Hawk helicopters that were provided by the American industry in 2022. Two of these were funded by the United States.
