Perhaps, but if this really is a cost-focused acquisition then the Black Hawk may struggle. It is a big tough and heavy battlefield helicopter that can carry around 20 pax, with operating costs to match its commendable performance. It may be seen as overkill for ferrying people around USAF missile sites and providing nuclear convoy security duties.
