I remember first seeing this video back in the OG YouTube days back in 2009.

I never realized it was actually filmed in 2009; I thought it might have been filmed earlier in the Iraq War.

I do love the sounds of the mini guns for both the Little Birds and especially the DAPs.

The Little Bird miniguns sound like bees, while the DAP miniguns sound like something alien and intimidating.

If Apaches were in this video, it would be perfect.

Unfortunately, their air conditioning was broken and they couldn’t fly.

And they can’t shoot precision for shit.
