DoD buys UH-60A for Afghan Army Air Corps
What? I thought all of the A's were being converted to L's. ?
Pork it is.
The plan, revealed by U.S. Richard Blumenthal (Democrat of Connecticut) and confirmed to R&WI by the Pentagon, calls for refurbishing 53 Sikorsky UH-60As divested from the U.S. Army inventory within about two years.
In this report it states that the Blacks Hawks will be upgraded before delivery, presumably to the L standard with some Afghan-specific mods.
