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's not bullet-proof, so it can be shot down with machine-guns.
Weapons
All versions have the same weapons: missiles which are shot one at a time, and machine-guns. The missiles of this helicopter are not as well guided as those of other helicopters, so it's a little more difficult to hit moving targets. Also, everyone other than Rico seem to use only unguided missiles, which aren't available to Rico and are weaker than usual missiles. Or they may just seem weaker because they miss most shots.

Trivia
- 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 pusuit 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 the 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.
