US Air Force gets Boeing’s Grey Wolf helicopter to guard nuclear missile bases
 
Boeing has delivered the first MH-139A Grey Wolf production helicopter to the United States Air Force. The new aircraft will be used to protect the nuclear intercontinental missile (ICBM) bases.

The helicopter was delivered as a part of the Low Rate Initial Production order in 2023, which was for 13 aircraft.
 
The aircraft, according to a press release by Boeing, will be stationed at the Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana.

This delivery adds on to the six Research, Development, Test and Evaluation helicopters which have already been delivered by the company to the US Air Force.

The US Air Force has placed an additional order of seven MH-139A helicopters to Boeing in 2024. All this combines to make Boeing having a contract for supplying 26 Grey Wolf aircraft.
