Sometimes I have trouble controlling myself when it comes to some of this stuff. I have seen it before on TV, but just simply haven’t gotten around to writing about it. I’m talking about the awe-inspiring Fire Scout UAV helicopter. A remote control helicopter capable of autonomous take-off, landing, and flight, it really just makes me giddy. Not to mention that this death machine’s release was coupled with an upgrade to the Hydra 70 rockets typically fired from the rocket pods mounted on Ah-64 Apaches. Now they’re laser-guided. …

This video is probably one of the coolest ones I’ve seen yet. Of course there will always be more for me to show you, but let me take a second to analyze just how bad ass this particular video is.

Scores of apache helicopters can mount all out assaults, break through enemy lines, and allow…
