Military helicopters like the Black Hawk that crashed in Turkey are typically funded through national defence budgets. Governments allocate significant portions of their annual spending to armed forces, covering equipment purchases, maintenance, and personnel costs. These budgets are approved by parliaments or congresses, often reflecting strategic priorities and national security needs.
