From the sound it would clearly seem to be a helicopter gunship but and can't destine if It a Marine Sea Cobra or Army Apache... sounds like both mini guns and chain guns

Way cool. Love the Ripping sound of the chain gun at the beginning if each attack.

The fire from the air was definitely from a rotary winged aircraft. If it was Mosul it was probably Army, and therefore probably either an AH-64 or OH-58. I'm not too sure about the ground fire, but I would guess 25mm fire from a Bradley. But this video gives some idea of why some types of fighting (like Close Air Support) is now easier at night than it is in day. Laser markers and spotlights work wonders to pinpoint a target, and picking out targets from natural backgrounds is much easier using Infra-red than your eyeballs.
