Where did that response come from?
I don't get it; CJJ brings up a valid point, though I look at it more from the perspective that today's US technology can be tomorrow's enemy's technology. Are we to respond to thoughtful comments with a knee-jerk jingoist remark that adds nothing constructive to the argument?
Is this Apaches? Sure reminds me of gun footage from an AC-130...I mean they are orbiting in the video looks like to me.
Apaches orbit as well. The guys we encountered were never this stupid. First off, they would never fight at night because they have no night vision capability. Second, the guys we fought were "smart" enough to know the sound of an Apache. The most commonly used birds are Blackhawks, Apaches and Chinooks. All 3 have a distinct sound.
From the reaction of the people on the ground - I'm not sure they ever heard the aircraft.
They must be orbiting from a high altitude.

Nice post. The nice thing about it is thats the way they like to go, with a big boom.

They are fighting at night because they are on the defense. The Apaches were supporting an SF attack on a Talib compound.
On the distinctive sounds of our commonly used rotor craft; I was out with my nephew around 19th and I35 a couple of weeks ago and heard what I thought was a Chinook. Well, hes pretty young and his dad is in the Air Force so I turned to point it out to him only to see a V22 passing about 2000 feet AGL a mile or so away. It was cool to see one, but I felt like a dolt for noticing the difference.
this is deff an apache i dont know if AC130 have azmuth limit
