Är dom säkert. Men nån uppsatt iranier påstår att det är för att USA har haft sanktioner mot IRAN så de inte kunnat beställa reservdelar för att serva helikoptern rätt.

De har ju fått tillfälliga lättnader när det gäller reservdelar för civil luftfart och har ju flygbolaget Iran Air. Tidigare har de även kringgått sanktionerna. Om de lyckas bygga militära drönare till Ryssland så då borde det inte vara svårt att få fram reservdelar till en veteranhelikopter.

Iran Air will be removed from the SDN list as part of the JCPOA relief, which is an expansion of the sanctions relief under the JPOA. Additionally, the U.S. will allow:
the sale of commercial aircraft and related parts and services to Iran by licensing the export, re-export, sale, lease, or transfer to Iran of commercial passenger aircraft exclusively for civil aviation end use,
the export, re-export, sale, lease, or transfer to Iran of spare parts and components for commercial passenger aircraft, and
The provision of associated services including warranty, maintenance, repair services, and safety-related inspections for all the foregoing, provided that licensed items and services are used exclusively for commercial passenger aviation.
These changes will take effect on Implementation Day.

During the sanctions periods, Iranian air carriers could not buy spare parts from the open market directly, this is why some companies sought to source them via intermediaries and front entities, acting on their behalf. Usually, this was done by Mahan Air, which expanded its operations in Asia and Europe and, more recently – in April 2019 – launched its first direct flights to Venezuela. The scheme involves a legitimate entity (sometimes doing business in a totally different sector) that would purchase the aviation parts and transport them to another country, listing it as the final destination. The parts, including such that were subject to US export-control licensing, would then be forwarded to Mahan Air.
Sometimes the intermediaries are registered in free trade zones, which as a rule are organised to be areas that stimulate foreign investment and are popular with lenient custom controls and loose compliance regulations. Due to its geographic proximity to Iran and its character as the financial and trade hub of West Asia, Dubai has served as one of Iran's most important sanction-evasion channels. Evidence for this can be found in the civil aviation sector, among others. In February 2014, two Dubai free zone establishments – Blue Sky Aviation Co and Avia Trust – were sanctioned by OFAC for acting on behalf of Mahan Air – one as a payment channel and the other – as a tool to supply aircraft parts and equipment with US origin. Avia Trust is believed to have been used by IRGC to bypass UAE customs inspections for Iran-bound cargo.
Iranian air companies have also bought US spare parts from suppliers in Europe and South America using third-party vendors in Europe, East Asia and other countries in the Middle East who even had offices in Tehran. The payments for such transactions are settled through accounts in third countries.
