    A military helicopter, consistent with a UH-60 Black Hawk, is captured in a low hover or landing/takeoff phase over an arid, dusty terrain. The rotor wash is generating a large brown dust cloud, while blue-colored smoke is visible to the right, likely from a smoke grenade used as a landing zone marker. At least one crew member is visible in the open side door of the aircraft.
