Developed by Bell Helicopter as an evolution of the "Cobra" attack helicopter, the AH-1W "Super Cobra" entered service in the 1980s and saw action in various theaters, including military operations in the Gulf and Iraq. Powered by two high-performance General Electric turboshaft engines capable of speeds exceeding 280 km/h, it is characterized by great operational flexibility.
The crew consists of two personnel—the pilot and the weapon systems officer—seated in a tandem configuration to optimize visibility during combat. The helicopter can be armed with TOW anti-tank missiles, AGM-114 Hellfire guided missiles, and unguided rockets. The AH-1W was primarily operated by the United States Marine Corps to provide support for ground forces during amphibious landing operations.
