I've seen that clip before. Very impressive or very disturbing depending on how you want to look at it.
I have many friends in the 183d fighter group, it's the unit of the pilots who accidentally killed the Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan. They were and still are, up on charges and faced life imprisonment, in addition to loss of their civilian and military careeers. You watch a clip like that, and can begin to get some idea of how hard a job "engagement", a politcally correct term for dropping bombs, would be. Killing people from a plane isn't easy. Errors can be made. For example, listen closely to that clip, they give permission to engage, then take it back, then give it again, all in about 5 secs.
