The US State Department has approved the possible sale of three Black Hawk Helicopters to Mexico to strengthen the country’s capability to fight organized crime and conduct counter-narcotics operations, the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said in a statement on Tuesday
“Mexico has been a strong partner in combating organized crime and drug trafficking organizations,” the statement said. “The sale of these UH-60M helicopters to Mexico will significantly increase and strengthen its capability to provide in-country airlift support for its forces engaged in counter-drug operations.”
The $110 million deal would include communications, radar and weaponry for the Black Hawks, as well as training and logistical services.
