The Delta 5H4 Boxhead is one of the four attack helicopters in Just Cause (1). A part of its name is often misspelled as "SH4" instead of "5H4".
Appearance[]
It's the smallest and most common attack helicopter. In fact, one to three of the green Guerrilla versions can be seen in the sky at all times. It has four seats, but you can never have a passenger.
It's based on the American attack helicopter MH-6 Little Bird but has a longer tail.
Performance[]
It's the second slowest (after the Jackson JC - 2 Alamo) and most fragile attack helicopter in the game, but has awesome maneuverability. Good for village and town liberations.
Survivability and armour[]
It will catch fire and explode from a single direct missile hit. It is also very much vulnerable to small arms fire.
Weapons[]
All versions have the same weapons: missiles which are shot one at a time, and machine-guns. Compared to other helicopters, these missiles are less accurate. Enemy Boxheads are only able to inaccurately fire non-homing missiles.

Trivia[]
- It's strange that while not lacking in them, the only time the San Esperito Military uses them against the player is during the mission Devil's Drop Zone.
- However, in the Just Cause Demo, the San Esperito Military uses them as their main pursuit helicopter, replacing the role of the HH-22 Savior in the full game.
- The Rioja Cartel is the only faction in Just Cause 1 that doesn't have a variant of this vehicle.
- This is one of only two vehicles in Just Cause (1) that starts with "D", the other being the Delta MAH-15 Chimaera.
- It bears some resemblance and is the predecessor to the UH-10 Chippewa.
