Overview
"The workhorse of the Allied military, the UH-60 can carry a squad of troops and lift light vehicles. Door-mounted miniguns provide excellent defense against enemy troops."

- Merchant of Menace store description

The UH-60 Transport is a large, bulky, troop transport helicopter, sporting only two miniguns for protection. The miniguns, mounted on the side of the helicopter are extremely powerful; but can only be used to bear down on targets to the side of the helicopter.

In the game, the UH-60 can carry up to seven passengers, including the pilot. This allows for great capabilities in small skirmishes with enemy forces. The space comes at a price, as the helicopter is slow to take off and maneuver, this makes the UH-60 an easy target for tanks and infantry.

There is a bug at the bridge connecting Nampo to the rest of the map where multiple UH-60s will sometimes begin to spawn in. The crowded airspace leads to some of them crashing into each other and the water. The bug usually occurs if the bridge is destroyed by a cruise missile strike.

In the first three Ace Contracts, you can hijack the helicopter. You will need a sniper rifle and kill the pilot. The helicopter will fall and you will be able to use it.

Real Life
The UH-60 Transport is based on the aircraft of the same name, the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk.
