Isn't this rumoured to be one of the heli's that went down when the US forces killed Bin Laden. The wreckage was quite quickly covered up and recovered in the aftermath.

Not only that, I wonder where they found room to put the retractable refuelling probe. I can't imagine that they went to all that trouble to build a helicopter which can only travel for a short hop.
