Apache Attack Helicopter Takes Out Insurgents
December 7, 2007 11:02 am Tech and Security
A friend at work has been pointing me to some interesting videos out of Iraq. Having always been fascinated with military technology, I found this video particularly intriguing. It is video from an Apache attack helicopter watching (and subsequently eliminating) insurgents as they place an RPG in a field. This is a true testiment to the awesome power of its 30mm gun. Pay attention to the radio communications between the pilot and the forward-air-controller.

Holy Smoke Batman, thats some serious damage there. The AH-64 had a buggy start to life, but man oh man has it become an awesome tool.
Incidentally, this is why I wanted to be a helicopter pilot in the army…
