To sum up the above info on the H-60, the total number of active helicopters of all services I would estimate at 2,900.

There are many (30-plus) foreign users of the H-60.

One of the more interesting foreign users of the S-70 (since it was purchased ostensibly for civil use) is the People's Republic of China. China bought a number of S-70s because of the excellent performance at high elevations years ago before relations with the U.S. soured.

Predictably, the Chinese have reverse-engineered the S-70 as the Z-20 and improved it as well -- the Z-20 has a five-blade main rotor instead of the four-blade rotor of the H-60 and may have a slightly larger cabin. It appears that it will enter widespread service in the People's Liberation Army.
