Not as well as the pylons themselves and even they can be difficult to spot in poor light levels and precipitation.

Not sure if the apache crews are using NVG and the 'system' or just the 'system' which is IR and therefore susceptible to precipitation removing any thermal contrast.

The fact is that all the wires are marked on the maps that their FOB mandates they carry.
