About the AH-1W SuperCobra:
The Bell AH-1 SuperCobra is a twin-engine attack helicopter based on the United States Army’s single-engine AH-1 Cobra. The Marine Corps wanted a greater load carrying capability in high temperatures for the Cobra during the 1970s. This need for improvement ultimately led to the development of the AH-1W SuperCobra during the early 1980s. This specific variant had a day/night version with more powerful engines and advanced weapons capability.
The AH-1 SuperCobra has been used extensively through multiple wars including the Iran-Iraq War, Gulf War and the March 2003 Iraq campaign. During the Gulf War, 78 were deployed and flew a total of 1,273 missions into Iraq with no combat losses. Current countries operating this craft include Iran, United States, Turkey and the Republic of China (Taiwan).
