Uh what?
How would the Indian government obtain parts of the wreckage from a helicopter crash deep inside Pakistan and near that nation's capital? Do you man the Pakistanis have done this?

That aircraft does not look like it could carry ten SEALs in addition to the crew.

RAH-66 Comanche
The photo depicts a RAH-66 Comanche, not the helicopter used during the raid. I added credit info to specify that. Sorry about the confusion. - Tuan

Lots of speculation
This story is getting lots of coverage elsewhere. It's uncertain, and is not likely to become public soon, whether or not the recovered wreckage has a radar absorbent coating. And the NYT article implies that the tail section could not have come from an MH-60 (special ops Blackhawk). It's definitely different, but still about the right size. There's speculation that there's a secret, stealthy version of the MH-60 in use - stealthy on the outside but basically the same on the inside. Or it might also be a another mid-size helicopter, such as a Sikorsky S-92, with stealth features added, but it's unlikely to be a totally different design.

RE: Stealth Helicopter
"reports that Pakistan has sent some of the recovered helicopter parts to China,"
How many billiions of dollars are we giving to Pakistan again?
