Love the super heavy external fuel loadouts the Israeli AH-64s have.  You can really tell who the "away" and "homes" teams are there in that video for sure.

Lots of Phantoms still in service as Wild Weasels. Big radar signature with no stealth technology.  Radar turns on...anti-radar missles come down...bye-bye bad guy radar.
