Considering the first helicopter crashed in Kuwait before reaching Iraq, 16 km south of the border with Iraq, that would have been some pretty good shooting.

Actually, you're just confused. The helicopter the Iraqi's claimed to have shot down was a Pave Low special ops aircraft that crash-landed near the Kuwait-Iraq border. The military has said the helicopter was not hit by enemy fire, but in any case, no one was injured in that incident.
