Help identifying a helicopter

[Foinikas]

Yesterday,I heard a helicopter passing from the area,so I got out in the balcony and something that looked like an Apache,but I couldn't tell for sure. I didn't have time to zoom in and take a pic. A bit later,I hear a loud sound and a helicopter passed right above,so I managed to take a few pics.

But I can't figure out what it is exactly. A friend said it's a Black Hawk.

Your friend may be right.

Sea Hawk

Sea Hawk

No,I've seen the Aegean Hawk that we have and they have a blue-grey camo.

Today,a helicopter passed again:

I just read a speech the MoD gave somewhere and he said at some point that "The Black Hawks are already being delivered".

Black Hawk has a "tail dragger" landing gear whereas Sea Hawk (not MH60R) have a mid section rear landing gear. I am not seeing the "tail" landing gear in the photo?

Is there an exercise in progress? Transiting units?

 

[Foinikas]

No,the thing is we ordered or will order 35 UH-60M,but...the first ones are supposed to arrive in late 2025 or so. No idea.

This probably more in line with a MH-60 than a Seahawk

Seahawk have the sonobuoy under the cockpit, you can see the contour skip outside the fuselage.
