That has been known to happen. What did he expect? Suicide by Apache.

I’m surprised at these yahoos who try to fight an Apache with an AK. Without decent SAMS or AA they’d have better luck running and hiding and using our ROE against us.

Anyways, good gunnery practice for Army Aviators and one of the more efficient ways of ridding Iraq of these extremists.
