According to the report, the U.S. Army plans to cut 157 active "Black Hawk" ** Aviation Knowledge Editor-in-Chief Wang Yanan said that the United States cut some of the old "Black Hawk" ** to save resources, upgrade the existing more advanced models, and then optimize the first fleet.
Wang Yanan:Because the overall age of the US Army's "Black Hawk" ** is relatively old, some of the early models are very old.
The U.S. Army saved this money with the intention of purchasing newer equipment, and at the same time modernizing and upgrading the remaining "Black Hawk"** to a certain extent.
The new "Warriors" are here, and they have an overwhelming advantage

In 2019, the U.S. Army launched the Future Long-Range Assault Project, with the goal of developing a new generation of multi-purpose*** to replace the Black Hawk. Later, the V-280 "Warrior" and SB-1 "Provocateur"** became alternative models for the US Army. In 2022, it was reported that the U.S. Army announced the selection of the V-280 "Warrior" tiltrotor to replace the "Black Hawk"** In Wang Yanan's view, compared with the "Black Hawk", the "Warrior" has more advantages in terms of flight speed, transportation capacity and battlefield adaptability.
Wang Yanan:The V-280 "Warrior" will fly faster, reaching a maximum speed of 520 kilometers per hour, which the US Army is very much looking forward to. Because once the Army's tactical maneuvering aircraft achieves high-speed flight,Combat efficiency and battlefield survivability will be significantly improved.
The Warrior has a stronger transport capacity, with a take-off weight of up to 14 tons and is capable of carrying 14 heavily armed soldiers. This means that the battlefield use of the "Warrior" will be more extensive, in addition to transportation, it can also carry ** and a certain mission load to perform more diverse tasks.

It is also reported that the US Army also plans to replace the AH-64 Apache armed with a "Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft".
In this regard, Wang Yanan analyzed that it remains to be seen whether the US Army can smoothly change its uniform.
Wang Yanan:It is doubtful whether the "future attack reconnaissance aircraft" will be able to achieve the same attack capability and survivability as the "Apache" **. Because the United States' new type of ** carrying, electronic reconnaissance and perception capabilities and other indicators are set very high.
