hehehehehe, aki you assume a lot in these matters, ill let you enjoy your blissful ignorance. but trust me, whether in broad daylight you get surprised by an attack by gunships such as these (or the AH-64 that you mention), the first instinct is to duck for cover. nonetheless, you might want to note that the video was shot by an IR camera, and that there were several sources of <in your words, blinking light> and as for casualties..... http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/InsidePage.php?id=2000048491&cid=4&story=Keny...

Since I followed Libyan events news very deeply from day one, I'll try and comment on the KDF , ofcourse as someone who does not know very much about it.
This is the link @Areba provided : Night strikes by KDF : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJXEL0TgHho&feature=player_embedded When I looked at this clip, what struck really me odd was the helicopter that was firing has it's *light blinking*! Assuming that this video is real and not a training exercise, the other side would have returned fire and easily knocked out the helicopter. You can see the blinking light of the craft in the entire scene. I don't know what to make of this video. Since the helicopter had its light blinking, it is confirmed that the target was very low profile and carried no active threats, so maybe some unmanned storage facility. The other issue I have with the clip is that most of the area seems to be covered in clouds/mist, thus giving the light show effects. So what area is it?
In comparison, watch this Apache Helicopter in Iraq : Despite is initial strike, those on the ground fired back until the entire location was taken out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZP0ALnc_M0
Some thots.
