Australia to buy 40 UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters from United States to replace troubled Taipan fleets

The Australian Army will ditch its European-made Taipan helicopter fleet early, with Labor confirming they will be replaced by a multi-billion-dollar purchase of American-made Black Hawks.

Key points:

• Major General Jeremy King says Black Hawks are "reliable, proven" and "supported by a robust global supply chain" 
• Delivery of the UH-60M helicopters will begin this year 
• The army announced in 2021 it would ditch its entire fleet . . .
