A relatively intact helicopter would be manna from heaven for terrorists who have a relatively unstable and regularly fractured supply line.
It would yield many basic, useful items... from wiring, armaments, instruments, explosive compounds, PCB's .. to a sizeable supply of aluminium and other metals.
These are all useful ingredients for IED manufacture. IED's that are regularly set for NATO forces... and civilians, too, if they are in disagreement with the Taliban aims and edicts.
One could only imagine what these resourceful ba$tards could fabricate from a relatively intact helicopter. Remember, these are the people who can fabricate exact copies of other countries weapons, without having resources such as machine tooling, dies, alloy steels, and foundries.
Study up on what the NVA produced in 'Nam, by way of booby traps, grenades, and jungle-built armaments, often manufactured from rubbish thrown away by troops, and you'll understand that some lessons learnt in one terrorist war, haven't been entirely forgotten, in another.
I have never forgotten the images in an NVA propaganda film shown to us during training, whereby NVA "volunteers" were shown de-fusing 1000lb U.S. bombs that had failed to detonate (inherently deadly work with no manuals, seeing as they had anti-handling devices on the set fuse).
They were then shown, sawing through the casing, to within a couple of mm of the explosive, tapping the casing to break it open... then extracting handfuls of explosive, ready to be turned back into booby traps, to be used against us.
Not to mention, the handy supply of iron in the casing, that was melted down in wood-fired jungle foundries, to be cast into jungle-made fragmentation grenades.
You give these type of fanatical, resourceful fighters, NOTHING, that could be even remotely useful.
