The AH-64 Apache is the US Army's premier attack helicopter. Night vision, Hellfire missiles, a 30mm chain gun — and it can take a hit from a 23mm round and keep flying. Not something you want pointed at you.
Fun fact
The Apache's Target Acquisition Designation Sight can identify vehicles at over 4 miles away, even in complete darkness.
How to spot one
Tandem cockpit, stubby weapons wings, nose-mounted sensor turret. The most feared attack helicopter in the world.

Sounds like
Twin T700s with a chain gun spinning up — a sound that means business
