It is real but it is so far gone it isn't worth fixing.

Add in authentic Russian radio transmissions from Afghanistan and you've got a winner.

I would assume they're selling it as a display for legal reasons. If they sold it as a helicopter, there would be some amount of implied assurance of flight-worthiness.
When some /k/ommando buys it and puts it back together, they don't want his next of kin to sue them when it crashes and kills him on its first flight.
>>29792706
Why would you not buy it then fly it back to the us?
>>29795264
some fake weapons on the hardpoints with leds and shit that went off when you pulled the trigger would be neat.
>>29795329
does that thing really look airworthy to you?
