I think I've seen that before. It's an Apache taking out known terrorists.
Wait, here's the Apache footage. Let me compare them:

Yeah, they were setting up a wire in the road for an IED or something. They had it coming.
I'll need to do some research to find out the cobra is quiet enough to pull it off. I would tell you that the chopper is much farther away than it appears to be in the video but I'm sure you already know that.

The Bell AH-1 Cobra is an attack helicopter. It shares a common engine, transmission and rotor system with the older UH-1 "Huey". It is also sometimes referred to as the "HueyCobra" or "Snake".
The AH-1 was once the backbone of the United States Army's attack helicopter fleet, but has been replaced by the AH-64 Apache in Army service. Upgraded versions continue to fly with the United States Army National Guard and several other users.

Like most of the videos in youtube.com it is doctored and fake. You notice the first truck on the left side of the road is gone after they shoot the first two guys, where did it go?. The round counter does not move and they sure are working that gun out. The heading does not move either. The original footage this was taken from was from an Apache. This particular video is from someone's computer.

Your video, lavadog, is footage from a video game, using the audio from the Apache strike, which was genuine footage.
Watch the way each of the "people" run in the video, and the explosions as they hit the vehicles. They are way too uniformly the same to be real. And what happened to the wreckage from the first auto they shot up? It vanished completely -- that's not gonna happen on a real-life battlefield. And the FLIR detects heat, so the burning vehicles would have left an intense trace -- yet you don't see that, either.
Check out the Apache video from the previous poster. That's the real deal.
