The proposed Foreign Military Sale includes 11 Sikorsky UH-60M helicopters and associated equipment for Mexico, with counter-drug operations cited as the mission. If finalized, the order would add momentum to the Black Hawk program as U.S. Army purchases taper, but approval does not mean a contract has been signed.
