UH-60 Black Hawk

From the Call of Duty Wiki

Multiple Black Hawks moving in on a Middle Eastern City in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

The UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter is a utility helicopter designed by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation for the US Army. The UH-60 was first introduced in 1979 for the US Army since then many variations of the helicopters have been made, such as the SH-60 Seahawk and the MH-60S Knighthawk.

[edit] In Game

The UH-60s in the game were used by the U.S. Military to transport U.S. Marines to the Middle Eastern city where they were searching for Khaled Al-Asad. A Black Hawk (Hammer 2-4)) was used by the Special Air Service (SAS) to infiltrate a cargo ship, while a second Black Hawk (Hammer 6-4) extracts Nikolai with Captain Price and his team from Russia shortly before being shot down by enemy Stinger missile. It is also used in The Sins of the Father by SAS and USMC to track down Victor Zakhaev. In All In, a Black Hawk is seen dropping Marines on the launch facility. A crashed Black Hawk is seen in Heat with a still-functional minigun, used as a defensive turret.

In the DS version, the player controls the minigun on a Black Hawk supporting the ground troops.

In real life, the USMC doesn't use Black Hawk helicopters to transport troops, however if you look closely, you will see it says U.S. Army on the helicopters' tail. It is possible that the choppers,especially Hammer 2-4 belonged to the U.S Army's 160th SOAR, which is often responsible for USSOCOM aerial transportation, which would then make it a MH-60.
