-How far are the helos? THe video's audio suggests that the helicopteres passed near the sight causing the enemy to leave the IED hole to go and hide on the side of the road. Once the helo detected the combatants, it probably went to a standoff postion beyond the enemy's audio or visual detection range. The length of time from release of teh missle to target destruction suggests that if the missile was released from the helo, the helo was probbably more than a mile away.
-Why didn't they surrender? Combatants on both sides are loath to surrender, even when one side promises a Carribean vacation while the other side promises a beheading. In this particular situation it sounds like the enemy believed that the helo had not dedtected them in the dark, and they probably believed the helo had just continued on its mission. The device relaying teh images of the enemy combatants was probably a front looking infrared imaging device that provides images from heat emmissions. They had no idea they were still being observed bu the helo. Since the enemy combatants were out in the road on a dark cool night, their body heat of 98 degrees made them the brightest thing on our imagingin device ----that is of course, until the misslie arrived.
