Who approves military spending?
In the UK, Parliament approves military spending, including for helicopters like the Black Hawk. The Ministry of Defence proposes a budget, which is then debated and voted on by MPs. This ensures public accountability for how taxpayer money is used for defence, including equipment purchases.
