Combat use
Wreckage of a Cobra shot down during the invasion of Grenada
Cobras with red stars on their fuselages imitate enemy air in US air defense exercises
- The Vietnam War (1957-1975, USA) - from 1967 to 1973, the American side irretrievably lost about 300 Cobra helicopters. In 1971, during the six-week operation Lam Son 719, American AH-1s destroyed 6 and knocked out 8 North Vietnamese tanks, at the cost of 26 downed and 158 damaged Cobras. Cobras played a decisive role in the battle for the city of An Loc in the spring of 1972, destroying 1,040 North Vietnamese soldiers and 18 tanks.
- Baluchistan Conflict (1973-1978) - The Pakistani Army used these helicopters in battles against Baloch separatists.
- Iranian-Kurdish conflict (1979, Iran) - On August 23, 1979, the Kurds shot down an Iranian Cobra helicopter with small arms fire.
- Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988, Iran) - in September 1981, during the two-day Operation Eighth Imam, the Iraqis shot down nine Iranian AH-1J helicopters. Cobras were successfully used against armored vehicles, for example, in November 1982 alone they destroyed at least 106 Iraqi tanks and 70 armored personnel carriers. There are cases when groups of 4 AH-1s managed to stop the advance of entire Iraqi tank brigades for several hours. In air battles, Iranian Cobras shot down two Iraqi supersonic aircraft - a Su-20 fighter-bomber and a MiG-21 fighter [ source not specified 149 days
], as well as 25 helicopters. At least 4 AH-1Js were shot down by Iraqi MiG-21s and 1 MiG-23. By the middle of the war, the number of combat-ready Iranian AH-1 helicopters decreased from 205 to 80-90 units. The best Iranian helicopter pilot, Ali Akbar Shiroudi, was killed in Cobra; his helicopter was hit by a 115-mm shell from an Iraqi T-62 tank. On July 14, 1982, an Iranian Cobra was shot down by a Malyutka anti-tank missile. - Civil War in Lebanon (Israel) - During the war, three Israeli Cobras were shot down. In the first flight against Syrian equipment, two Cobras destroyed three T-62 tanks and one truck. In total, during the conflict, the Cobras destroyed dozens of armored vehicles, including a number of [ how many?
] modern T-72 tanks. - US invasion of Grenada (1983, USA) - during the operation, two American AH-1Ts were shot down by the enemy.
- Turkish-Kurdish conflict (since 1984, Turkey) - four Turkish AH-1Ws were shot down by Kurdish rebels until 2011. On May 13, 2016, the Kurds, using Igla MANPADS, shot down another, fifth Super-Cobra, and two crew members were killed.
- Operation Praying Mantis (1988, USA) - American Cobras sank three Iranian patrol boats, while one AH-1T was shot down.
- Interception September 28, 1988 - two Iranian AH-1J helicopters were shot down by Soviet MiG-23 fighters after violating the Afghan air border.
- Gulf War (1991, USA) - 145 helicopters were deployed, total flight time was 8,000 hours, more than 1,000 ATGMs were fired, 3 AH-1Fs were lost
- Peacekeeping operation in Somalia (UNOSOM I, 1992-1993, USA)
- War in Afghanistan (since 2001, USA) - took limited participation. From 2009 to 2012, four AH-1W helicopters are known to have been lost.
- Iraq War (since 2003, USA) - during the first 25 days of the operation, 46 of the 58 Cobra helicopters of the USMC received combat damage. In total, at least 8 AH-1W helicopters were lost during the war. On March 21, 2003, an American AH-1W helicopter accidentally destroyed an American M1 Abrams tank with a missile.
- Waziristan War (since 2004, Pakistan) - the Pakistanis deployed three squadrons of AH-1F helicopters. Many helicopters were damaged, for example, in October 2009, 5 Cobras were shot down by enemy fire. It is known that during the entire war 9 Pakistani helicopters were shot down, but it is unclear whether Cobras were among them.
- Second Lebanon War (2006, Israel)
Design and development
The AH-1 Cobra was developed in the mid-1960s as a temporary Gunship for the US Army for use during the Vietnam War. The Cobra shares the proven transmission, rotor system, and T53 turboshaft engine from the UH-1 Huey. In June 1967, the first AH-1G HueyCobras were delivered. Bell built 1,116 AH-1Gs for the US Army between 1967 and 1973, and Cobras logged more than a million hours of service in Vietnam.
The US Marine Corps was very interested in the AH-1G Cobra, but it preferred a twin-engine variant for increased safety in over-water operations, and also wanted a more powerful turret-mounted weapon. At first, the Department of Defense had ignored providing the Marines with a twin-engine version of the Cobra, in the hope that the commonality with the Army AH-1G would outweigh the advantages of the other engine attack. However, the Marines prevailed and awarded Bell a contract for 49 twin-engine AH-1J SeaCobras in May 1968. As an interim measure, the US Army accepted 38 AH-1Gs for the Marine Corps in 1969. The AH-1J also received a more powerful gun turret. It featured a three-barrel 20 mm XM197 cannon, which was based on the six-barrel M61 Vulcan cannon.

.
The Marine Corps requested greater high-temperature load capacity for the Cobra in the 1970s. Bell is using systems from its 309 models to develop the AH-1T. This version had a stretched tail and fuselage with an upgraded gearbox and engines from the 309. Bell designed the AH-1T to be more reliable and easier to maintain in this area. The version was given full TOW missile capability with guidance systems and other sensors. An improved version known as the AH-1T+ with more powerful T700-GE-700 engines and modern avionics was offered to Iran in the late 1970s, but the overthrow of the Shah of Iran as a result of the sale was annulled.
In the early 1980s, the US Marine Corps was looking for a new navalized helicopter, but was denied funding to buy the AH-64 Apache by Congress in 1981. The Marines in turn pursued a more powerful version of the AH-1T. Other changes included modified fire control systems to carry and fire AIM-9 Sidewinder and AGM-114 Hellfire missiles. The new version was funded by Congress and designated AH-1W. Deliveries of AH-1W SuperCobras totaled 179 new helicopters built plus 43 AH-1TS upgrades.
The AH-1T+ demonstrator and AH-1W prototype were later tested with a new experimental composite four-blade main rotor system. The new system offered higher performance, reduced noise levels and improved combat damage tolerance. Without a USMC contract, Bell developed a new design in the AH-1Z with its own funds. By 1996, the Marines were again prevented from ordering the AH-64. Developing a naval version of the Apache would be expensive and it would likely be that the Marine Corps would be its only customer. Instead, they signed a contract to upgrade AH-1Ws to AH-1Zs.
The Viper Bell AH-1Z includes several design changes. The two wings of the redesigned AH-1Z stubs are larger each with the addition of wingtip stations for missiles such as the Sidewinder AIM-9. Each wing has two other stations of 70 mm (2.75 in) Hydra missile pods, or AGM-114 Hellfire missile quad launchers. Longbow radar can be installed on Wingtip station. The AH-1W version will be retired from the Marine Corps in 2020.

MODEL
The set is packaged in a standard box measuring 26x16x3.5 cm. The box is made of medium-hard cardboard, which will require reinforcement in case of shipment. Cellophane is not used to pack the box. The side flaps are sealed with tape. The front side contains a boxart (drawing) of a flying helicopter in camouflage coloring. On the side there are pictures with the contents, and on the back there is a paint scheme and samples of some colors. The contents are packaged in polyethylene bags that are sealed rather than closed with paper clips. The kit includes two gray sprue frames (plastic), one frame with a transparent part (lantern), instructions and decals. The instructions are black and white, in the form of a train folded like an accordion. There is no paint scheme or decal layout. Places for transferring decals are indicated directly in the assembly diagram. The instructions contain two photographs of the finished model and two photographs of the structural elements, the gun and the interior of the gunner's cockpit. The decal is basic, with a minimum of technical details. This kit allows you to assemble one version of a US Marine Corps helicopter. There are no dashboards or remote controls. The decal has no defects or yellowing, the varnish is transparent and invisible. The cockpit glazing is made in one piece. That is, the possibility of making the cabin open is excluded. The glass is free of defects, clouding, clean and transparent. It is a little thick, but when viewed from the outside it is not very noticeable. The plastic is light gray, the surface is glossy. The jointing is external, which is typical for models of the 80s of the twentieth century. No serious defects were found. There are some minor dents in the plastic here and there. But there are few of them. The detailing is poor. Pilot seats do not have seat belts. The instrument panels have a relief. There are no pilot figures. Suspended weapons include 8 Hellfire missiles, and two units of unguided missiles.
