Albania to receive surplus US Black Hawks
Albania is to receive three Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk medium-lift utility helicopters from the United States, the country's defence minister, Olta Xhacka, announced on 8 April during an interview with the Tirana-based TV station Vizion+.

Xhacka said the acquisition will be part of a US military aid package for Albania that will be signed off during her visit to the US.

The helicopters will be second hand but in very good condition, Xhacka noted, adding that they will enhance Albania's military capabilities and modernise the country's air force.

Signing Ceremony for Black Hawk helicopters, Xhaçka and Ambassador Kim: “krah për krah” as distinguished allies (29. Mai 2020)
In a special ceremony held at Farka Air Base, the Defense Minister Olta Xhaçka and the US Ambassador to Tirana, Yuri Kim signed the contract of acceptance to equip the Albanian Air Force with Black Hawk helicopters. Helicopters, assisted by the US government, are expected to arrive in Albania soon, and for Minister Xhaçka, this contribution increases the capability of the Albanian Armed Forces.
The project to equip the Air Force with American Black Hawk helicopters initiated a year ago during Minister Xhaçka visit to the New Jersey National Guard. Over the course of a year, there have been various training sessions of Albanian pilots at this guard and of American specialists at the Air Force for developing their skills on how to use new vehicles, which will be part of the Albanian Air Fleet.

“There are big challenges ahead in the AF, in terms of infrastructure and the increase of human capacities. FA is carrying out several historical projects. NATO's first tactical base, Kuçova Base is currently under construction and this is a historic development. Furthermore, it is accompanied by another historic moment concerning aircraft technology advancement. Next year, the air fleet made up of Black Hawk helicopters, will be set up. The first two helicopters will be delivered next year and it will be followed by others, until a real air fleet will be created with the best helicopters in the world. This is a successful cooperation with our most strategic and special partner, the USA, and I take the opportunity to thank them.”, - Minister Peleshi stressed during his speech.
