You're missing a key point respectfully. Those helicopters aren't necessarily on a defensive mission or stance. Their job is to kill the enemy. They identified weapons. They started circling. They saw what looked like an RPG-7 and they had a suspected shot. At that point it didn't matter if an AK-47 could hurt an apache or not. They were identified as enemy combatants under the rules of engagement, and probably based around the parameter of their patrol briefing.
