I'm surprised they go in that tight, they're lightly armed and armored.

pretty cool video

so was it shot on the ramp in orange county with night vision cameras and then blended in with the other footage? Did you notice some of the shots they have strobes on?

We use IR strobes in combat. The video equipment is using NVGs so those strobes show up pretty bright. Some operators get permission to go "black out" but that's rare. Around airports some pilots even elect to go full anti smash (non IR) so that they can be seen.
