Can anyone name the chopper?

Tiger?

It's an Apache, I've got the bigger, more bright version of that same picture.

Agree..looks like an apache to me

The Dutch AH-64D without the radar does this in every show.....

Does anyone know how effective these flares are for close range ir missles. I mean I would think the flares are just mostley worthless...just curious,

The AH64 has a good IR shielding system at the exhaust...so i think it will work a bit...but......when the missile is close..i dont know

Shielding system? Are you refering to that multicoloured square thing? Isn't that a IT detection unit (to identify incoming threats)?

Nope, that's the ALQ-144 Discoball, an IR jammer like the one the Su-25T has in its tail. Except the -144 works on incoming missiles from all aspects, I think.

The IR shielding system that's being referred to is in the AH-64's engines. They're built into their exhuast to reduce their IR signature against heat-seeking missiles.

Flares would be quite useful in most situations. Can you explain why you think otherwise?
