The Apache is likely the most lethal killing machine ever built. The 30mm turret mounted below the pilot moves with the pilot’s helmet-mounted optical target selection system, which allows the pilot to aim the weapon without operating a joystick, simply look at it, and it can be killed, day or night, rain or shine. In this video, troops on the ground have called in an attack on a building that insurgents are hiding inside. The Apache fires its 30mm cannon and hydra rockets, which utterly devastate the structure. Despite only the complete destruction of the front section of the building, people hiding in the rear would likely be killed as well due to the shock waves and shrapnel from the high explosive rounds and hydra rockets. Either that, or they will be dealt with by a second pass by the Apache or by a wave of US soldiers sweeping the area for damage assessment and mop up.

This is an Apache Attack Helicopter gun camera video. It depicts a close air support attack on a building in Iraq.
