A combat used, desert abandoned Blackhawk without necessary maintainance records can't be sold in any country that cares about that which is pretty much everyone but poor middle eastern countries and Russia. That makes it a couple hundred thousand (essentially the scrap value) and we've been dumping these things across the planet for the last 30 years so there's no shortage of crappy barely flight worthy ones popping about.

My guess is they bought the DCS Huey to learn how to fly out but refused to buy the collective. Keyboard and mouse to collective is very disorienting.

Haha, good point. I stand corrected. :)
