A Bad Night for ISIS
What you are about to look at is a A/H1-G D model Longbow Apache Gunship.
They are working in concert with Special Forces, not SEALS, using laser
designators to designate where the primary targets are. The buzz saw sound is the 20mm minigun, and the hack-hack sound is the 30mm chain guns.
Of course you can see the hydra 2.75 rockets as well as the large explosions being the Hellfire Missiles.
If you have never seen anything like this before, this is The Army in Action.
We don't get a lot of publicity, of course it is not sought, what we do is covertly done without a lot of fanfare. We just do it, we don't brag about it. It is a great light show, but know you are looking through an infrared night vision device so it can all be captured digitally.
Here's a great clip of the "Night Stalkers" in their birds rolling in hot on ISIS with chain guns and penetrators, guided of course - ]

Well partially correct which makes it all suspect but none the less fun or exciting.
From the early part of the video, the helicopter is a version of the UH60, named the DAP. It is not an AH1 of any variety.
Some of the weapon nomenclature is probably correct.
Either way some guys doing a great job for tne USA. I miss the good old days.
