They wrecked one of them, and instead of leaving the carcass in place like usual, they blew it up. Why? This is a picture of a portion of the wreckage left after the blast:
I certainly don't recognize that as a part of any helo that I know of... May very well be unacknowledged technology. Pretty cool!
They will blow the helicopter in place to preserve the secrets, FMS loads, crypto gear, and a multitude of other classified equipment on board. If they can't get a C4 satchel in there they'll use fast movers.
I saw the Comanche in person, this photo makes me very skeptical as the two are nothing alike. No rivet holes, the blades seem to be very narrow, potentially five of them. No IR position lights anywhere. Doesn't add up.
