The Bell AH-1 Cobra is a twin-engine attack helicopter developed by Bell Helicopter in the 1960s. It was designed primarily for use by the United States Army during the Vietnam War, featuring a sleek, aerodynamic shape that enhances its speed and maneuverability. The Cobra is equipped with a variety of weapons, including rockets and machine guns, making it effective in ground support and anti-armor roles. The helicopter's design includes a tandem cockpit, allowing the pilot and gunner to sit one behind the other. This configuration improves visibility and reduces the aircraft's radar signature. Over the years, the AH-1 Cobra has undergone several upgrades, maintaining its relevance in modern military operations.
