The UH-60 Black Hawk helo is a utility helicopter. (Hint: ‘UH’.) ‘Utility’ helos are used for many things, especially tactical transport and assault. They are armed with one or two automatic weapons on door mounts, usually 5.56mm electric Gatling systems. They have a crew of two to four and can carry up to 11 troops. They can’t (usually) be fitted with heavy weapons, including rockets and anti-tank guided weapons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_UH-60_Black_Hawk An attack helo (‘AH’) usually has a crew of one to two, a chin-mounted turret for a major weapon, and numerous hard points for carrying heavy weapons. (Note: the original helo gunships were UH-1s with external weapons stations, and the Russian Mil-24 is basically a large utility helo with a lot of heavy weapons.)
