The U.S. has delivered three Sikorsky Aircraft UH-60M Black Hawks to the Mexican government for law enforcement.
Stratford-based Sikorsky said the helicopters, equipped with infrared cameras for night operations, are the first of six the U.S. State Department promised Mexico as part of the Merida Initiative, a security pact between the two countries.
The price tag was not disclosed.
The three expand the Mexican Federal Police’s existing fleet of seven Black Hawks in use since 2008.
