The pilots don't typically acquire their own targets - they stay low and come over the horizon to deliver ordnance quickly.


That was the doctrine in Europe, but a lot of videos in Iraq and AFG show the pilots observing the targets for several minutes before firing. Sometimes up to 5-10 minutes. Either the apaches are super quiet now, or the insurgents don't give a single frick that they're about to get blown up.

they are pretty quiet and at night hard to tell the direction, with that infared what would the insurgents do anyway? Either sit still or run.
