The last portion of your comment is sure to briefly raise the worlds Carbon-die-oxide level. :P
Haha likely!
I see what you did there :P
One or two stingers can send this thing to ground.
The heat produced by it's engine is above average and exhausts are so well exposed.
Still it's one of the most intimidating choppers ever built.
It has flares and usually in combat situation get equipped with thermal reducers in the form of add-on boxes on the sides of the exhausts to reduce the thermal signature and emission.
Here's an example:

It want to shot down this beast, you're going to need more than just puny Stingers.
One or two stingers, in their own right, can bring anything down. Russian hardware is quite often a different story, specifically the Hind family. They have always been built with CAS being pretty much their highest priority, heck they even double as troop carriers as well. You can throw RPGs and yes, even Stingers at these things and there's a quite a high probability that they'll shake it off.
