Greece has strengthened its naval prowess with the formal induction of the first three Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk helicopters.
The Hellenic Navy has formally inducted the first three of seven Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk maritime helicopters.
Greece has signed a contract to acquire the MH-60R helicopters for an estimated US$600 million to provide the country with anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare, vertical replenishment, search and rescue and communications relay capabilities.
The remaining four helicopters will be expected to be delivered in 2025.
The MH-60R Romeo, MH-60S Sierra and S-70B maritime helicopters are all variants of the H-60 Black Hawk and derived from the original SH-60B Bravo Seahawk, which was retired by the US Navy in 2015.
