MH 60R ‘Seahawks’ – a maritime variant of the Blackhawk helicopter – will be commissioned into the Indian Navy as INAS 334 Squadron at INS Garuda, Kochi on March 06, 2024.

The advanced weapons, sensors and avionics suite make the ‘Seahawks’ ideal for the Indian Navy’s maritime security needs, offering enhanced capabilities for conventional as well as asymmetric threats. The Seahawk’s deployment in the Indian Ocean Region would strengthen the Navy’s maritime presence, dissuading potential threats and ensuring a secure & safe environment.
