Well, according to that site those were the only two helicopters in
service at that time... which seems unlikely.

I dunno. Copters in the desert for 20 years? Very maintenance
intensive.

FWIW, I doubt that anyone had information that precise on aircraft
and helicopters in service in Iraq at that point.

Probably not, but it's a good general guess. They sure couldn't get
part for the US-made copters very easily.
