According to update by Chosun Ilbo, Chinese believes it is MIG-21 not a helicopter. They suspect that it could have been a defection attempt.
Another photo of crash site. The tail section looks like that of old MIG model.
The location of crash site. This was apparently dated by about a hour. Its title says N. Korea helicopter crashed in China.

Likely it was flown not by a professional pilot but by a civilian with some basic training in crop dusting. The reason is simple - it’s impossible for a professional to mistake flying to China (South) and flying to Russia (North.) You could do that by stars, by the sun, and of course by any compass. Pilots who fly these airplanes on duty know the land, can find the compass among the instruments, and can escape easily. Only a civilian can be confused enough to lose orientation and on top of that probably make a small mistake in piloting that an old military aircraft (without computers) is not likely to forgive.

TLR? Thanks for this thread and the excellent data, and just to echo other FReepers, don't think for one second that you are any kind of 'fool', absolutely NO WAY my FRiend, you don't have control over the naming conventions of any image hosting service, especially with a dynamic (as in 'changing') story like this one. You scooped 'em as I see it, and the pilot that was presumably seeking to defect should have followed the example of the Number One Juchebag Kim Jong, and taken a TRAIN, instead of flying. ;)
Nice catch TLR! :)

The Russian FSB would have sent the pilot back to North Korea.
