Very unlikely... they are not much sophisticated..

even if they have, they might looted the same from security forces.

Such lightly armed naxals- and still you having difficulty dealing with them?- Comparatively we are doing a very good job against- AAA laden- rpg laden- IED laden- suicide vest laden- bin laden terrorists-

Complete difference in the engagement area, its so large.
Here it is thick forests, they knew it well--they are locals.
They fight against Indian Police, not army.

Albeit, nothing proven but it's not difficult to bring down a chopper with light gun fire.
During the 1971 war, an IAF Mystere IV fighter/bomber was shot down by a ground observer with his G-3 Rifle.
